Not gonna lie for the price that I paid. I honestly was expecting the food to be a bit better. It wasn’t bad. But for this $100 meal, I was just expecting a little bit more honestly, I got the fried chicken, a side of greens and a side of macaroni with cornbread, a virgin blueberry margarita for $100. I was just expecting more flavor with the food for that price.

Southern chicken was delicious.
I am taking off two stars due to their shady water practices. They bring you a bottle of still water and then at the end tell you it’s $12. They never tell you they’ll charge for the water. The server said they don’t even offer any version of free water.
