Local restaurant to me and was the first time eating in the restaurant (had take-out once). Very cool atmosphere and the staff were amazing!!!! Price was as fair as any other but the portions were HUGE. Definitely had leftovers to take home. Will be returning very soon!!!!!!

Great place to get a variety of different southern food. I got the chicken Alfredo pasta, which was very good, lots of flavor and lots of meat. The pasta was very very creamy, which was good but a little too overpowering. Overall, it was great I would come back.

I'll definitely be back for more!

We were anxious to try this place for evening take out. SO disappointed. Less than mediocre food for the price.

I had trouble eating my overcooked tough steak.

It's an unassuming building full of really good servers and tasty food. The menu shows some imagination but remains down to earth, the prices are not bad, and best of all, the oil in their fryer was fresh! If you are going to enjoy catfish and hushpuppies, it just does not taste very good if the oil is old and funky. The spring mix they used for the garden salad was nice and crisp, the iced tea tasted fresh, and we enjoyed the casual vibe. We went very early in the afternoon when things were quiet, but I am looking forward to going some night when the karaoke is in full swing.

I was disappointed. The fried oysters were dry. Instead of garlic bread that was supposed to come with it we got a tasteless roll. The cocktail sauce was almost frozen. My husband did like the catfish and seasoned fries.

My hubby & I dined here for the first time because we wanted something different & found this GEM on GPS! So glad we came! Staff were friendly & welcoming & the food was delicious! Music was great!! Highly recommend giving them a try! Only semi negative was the mixed drinks were weak. Also check out the paintings in the bathrooms!

On the outside, this place looks like a dump but inside is a hidden treasure. Everyone was friendly and made sure I was well taken care of. I loved my Mississippi Sloppy Joe. It was my first time having alligator and I was reluctant to try but now I'm glad I did. I recommend this place to everyone.

Our party of 7 decided at the last minute to go here since we heard about their karaoke being really fun. Everyone loved their meals, my seafood platter was great (I will definitely split it next time). Our server mad sure we were taken care of and best of all the drinks were mixed right! The karaoke guy was funny and had talent singing. My only issue is that it was too dark in the place.

We had a reservation for 10 people. Waitress came and took our drink order after 15 minutes. It took her approximately 15 more minutes to bring our tea and water. There was only one table of 4 there besides us. After 10 more minutes she was coming to take our food order but we chose to go elsewhere. We paid for our drinks and she scammed one of our people in our party's card 2 times. We will NEVER be back there

We heard great reviews about the steak so we gave it a try. So disappointed. Over priced and over hyped. Should have known better than to try a steak in a strip mall. Thought I would never go back, but someone invited me to join for a little catch-up dinner. Drinks were good. Decided to try the royal reds. Even more disappointed. We ate at 7p so not late in the evening. The royal reds were nothing but mush. Disgusting. Now I know I will never return.
