Our party of four arrived at 5PM on a Monday and our reservations were promptly honored. This wasn't too difficult as the place was mostly empty. But by the time we left around 90 minutes later the place was hopping! I definitely recommend making reservations if you want to avoid a wait. Our table enjoyed the Corn Bread appetizer (delish!) the Gumbo appetizer (also delish) the Dagwood (vegan) Sandwich (also delish - get the trend here yet? ) The Etouffée (yum yum) and the Fried Chicken (best ever!!). All in all we were very pleased with the food. The ambience is sort of "trendy" and quite pleasant. If there was any negative it was the service. For better or worse, our early arrival dictated that the bartender was our server. It's clear that this individual isn't used to serving tables as he basically ignored us most of the of the time we were there. We were able to snag other front of the house staff to fill waters, get extra napkins and get us the check. Those other staff were very helpful and friendly. Next time, I'll just make sure to ask for a server who isn't also the bartender.

Tasty food and a great atmosphere, what beautiful building. I have had the brisket sandwich many times & it's one to go back for. Fried chicken is also good. I've had brunch before and enjoyed it. Last time I was there I couldn't make heads or tails of their beer pricing. I couldn't figure out why one of their North Peak beer (3.1%) cost more than a guest tap. Overall I feel there beer prices are a little high for me.

Very limited menu and service is really slow. Won't recommend or revisit. Just not for us, maybe vegans.

I will never understand why restaurants think it's ok to arbitrarily add 3% to your bill just because. It's a very sneaky way to get more money that usually ends up hurting the wait staff as people say "well it's coming out of the tip then". I did not see a sign or anything warning in advance there was an extra charge for "stuff costs more money these days". Everything was pretty good but I can't give business to a restaurant that uses this practice. To be very clear, they add 3% to your bill as a service charge and it states that none of it goes to the server.

My husband and I went here yesterday, around 1-2 pm on a Saturday. We went with my stepdaughter and her boyfriend, who live barely two blocks away. Luckily for us, they weren't crazy busy. The inside is open and airy, with beautiful but simple wood throughout. We had an appetizer of the pimento cheese and warm pita.... amazing. Ice cold and excellent Coke, that was refilled without being asked for, which was nice. We ordered two of the brisket sandwiches, one with fries, the other with salad, the smoked turkey sandwich ( a version of a turkey Ruben, with a twist), with fries, and the veggies/three ways ( beautiful roasted cauliflower, asparagus and brussel sprouts in a bed of creamy grits ). Everyone was very happy with their food, the fries were dangerously good and the veggie dish could have easily been shared by two or three people. We would go back again.

Somethings were great and others were not. The brussel sprout appetizer was delicious. The main plate was the salmon dish and the salmon was drowning in the sauce, the loaded mashed potatoes weren't even warm enough to melt the cheese and the asparagus hadn't been trimmed so it still had the hard fiber end. It also blows my mind that a place with windows that big doesn't have shades. My whole party was blinded the entire time we were there. Probably won't go back.

The restaurant was very clean, great atmosphere and the staff was excellent. The food was terrible and that's being as nice as I can be. The amount of steak I got was ridiculously small and the steak was poorly seasoned. My son got an onion skin in his pizza and my other sons salad was wilted and did not have enough dressing.

Went with a big group for a birthday and every person LOVED their food. All of the drinks fantastic and consistent. Seemed to be really busy with the after-chirch crowd, but we arrived on a Sunday just before 2 and it was just clearing out.Seems like parking could be an issue, but realize there are neighborhoods right nearby that have free street parking available.

Excited to try this place. Was told to go to the bar for a take outs waited 5 minutes. Lady chines in 10 minutes later and gets to notch service as though I was a ghost. So at that moment I realized that my business wasn't accepted. So thank you Mr bartender for making a ignorant

We went here a few days ago. I try to eat gluten free most of the time & we had anticipated there would be options for me. There weren't, but it was okay. Fortunately, it didn't upset my stomach. The other downside was that there was a loud table immediately near us, which was frustrating and it made it hard to hear. Everyone, from the hostesses to the servers, was extremely friendly and pleasant. The cornbread was incredible. Like top 3 I've ever had and that my partner and his mom (both born and raised in Texas) agreed. Our server was lovely and very attentive. The fried chicken was delicious and well seasoned; the sweet potato fries were out of this world; we all enjoyed our beverages. We'll likely be back!

Service is poor, and food ice cold. this is the third time I've been here and has not changed. Severe was asked for salt/ pepper never came back. Ordered a drink, never got. Food was ice cold. Price steep for the lack of service and ice cold food. Much better places in the

Bar service was the worst. Food is not consistent. You can get great mac n cheese one day and oily noodles the next. Same with bananas foster and the veggie medley. The staff is entirely composed from ownership to waitstaff of people who 75% don't care. It's too bad because it has great ambience and if you hit the right day a decent menu.The service and overall approach and attitude of delivering even marginal customer service is not something management strives for....at all.

The staff was very friendly and food was amazing. The Brussel sprouts and Mac and cheese were both delicious. It was so wonderful, we came for dinner on Friday and came back for brunch on Sunday before leaving. We even came to the bar next door and listened to some music and had some great experience with the staff on that side too!
