The music was loud heavy metal and rap, complete with cursing in the songs. A guy sitting at the next table over yelled at the top of his lungs twice, for no reason that I could tell. The food was good, the wait staff friendly.

The only negative thing I would say is the wait time for our food. It was a Saturday at lunch. Only the waitress and cook. The food was worth the wait. The catfish was crispy and seasoned well. Yummy cornbread. We will be back.
