Everything had flavor! Good flavor not too salty just right. The fried green tomatoes didn’t need anything the gumbo had plenty of seafood in every bite. The fried catfish was fried to perfection. We came on a busy Friday evening and it was pretty busy the service was a little slow. Our waitress was holding it down. The live music was good a lot was happening because the place across the street was having a part as well and the. Music clashed. Overall for sure I’d return

Stop by for dinner no reservation opening seating and its decent amount of tables available. The vibe outside was live thou had DJs on the block with people dancing its was dope. Ok the food so yeah I started with Fried Green Tomatoes 9.2 these was bussin fr...aint ready need no hot sauce. The flavor profile was like that and low key the cole slaw was served with it paired so well. For the main got 1/2 chicken and again they didn't miss the chicken was cooked extremely well...

If I ran a restaurant and bar in my neighborhood, I'd do it like this! The owner here has figured it out and offers great food and good drinks in a wonderful and fun environment! Try their Mardi Gras evening!!!
