“This is a solid restaurant and wasn't too expensive. The chicken and waffles were outstanding, and the drinks were well made and reasonably priced. We waited a bit for our table reservation, but our waiter made up for it by covering one of our drinks. He was also responsive and made sure we got out on time for the Magus show.“

“This was my first time in, we came from pdx and this was the first stop. Staff and vibe was very nice. We had drinks and they were hitting right. Ordered 3pc chicken and waffles with eggs and grits. Haven't had grits for ages and they were delicious just added a Lil pepper to it.. I was a bit disappointed with the chicken, I thought it would be more seasoned, but hey just put on some hot sauce and it was better. Overall good cause we were hungry 😋“
