Joyce was a great find. we had the fried game hen and the catfish with the collard greens and blue crab elote. The service was homey and friendly and the food was excellent. We picked this restaurant because it met out time and location needs, but would make it a point to return with intention in the future.

Had a great lunch with a party of four. We ate family style so that we could try a variety of items on the menu. The chicken sandwich, Caesar salad, mac & cheese, and catfish are 5 stars.

From the moment you walk in you feel like you're about to experience something special. The staff from the host to the waitstaff the bus staff all engage with you. Everyone gave recommendations of their favorite items. Food: Oveall Delicious My only con is I wish my shrimp and grits arrived a bit hotter. The scallop was delicious The shrimp and grits flavorful. The cornbread MY FAVORITE!!!
