“Always a great experience. Atmosphere is very clean and fun. Had the Catfish Caesar (two huge filets -could only eat one) and BBQ beef sandwich is good. Sweet potato fries are crispy outside, tender inside; excellent! We missed the burnt end on the menu or would have tried them. A couple beignets to go for later. Drinks are served in huge mason jars. Service was prompt and very friendly. Parking was easy (but not crowded either). Price reasonable! Always a winner.“

The amount of food for the money was good, we split the chicken and waffles and the sides were good. Chicken noodle soup was excellent as was the rhubarb and salad. The soggy cabbage was terrible.“
