The fried chicken is noted as being fried to perfection without thick batter, and the catfish consistently receives high praise as the best some have had. The menu also features mac n cheese, cornbread, and the Nashville catfish, all enjoyed by guests. Many appreciate the creative cocktails and the quality of their brunch and dinner options.
