“I’ve been wanting to eat here for a while. I’m a big Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives fan. I saw this place on the show so I planned a dinner to take my clients to. This place was amazing. Everyone raved about every bite of food we had. Kevin, the owner, was very appreciative of us being there. Such a warm and enjoyable space coupled with great food made our night perfect. You have to try this place.“

“From my home in England, I read that this was one of the best restaurants in SF, so on our next visit, we had to try it. We thought it was absolutely amazing. The fried chicken was so crispy on the outside and moist inside, mac n cheese to die for, and perfectly made cornbread. The servers could not have been more friendly and efficient. And great value. We are now in the Minnie Bell fan club!“

“We had a great experience until they called last call. We asked for one more drink when we she said we can only do shots. We purposely wanted mixed shots such as lemon drops and green tea shots. She told us we can only do well shots… really rude and doesn’t make a lot of sense.“
