I love this restaurant! The food is always so flavorful. I had the chicken and waffles and the shrimp and grits, both were amazing. I’m not usually a big waffle person, but the waffle was delicious with a powdered sugar on top, and the chicken had the perfect crunch. The shrimp and grits were full of flavor and the sauce was incredible. The food came out temperature-hot, and the service is always great every time I visit. 10/10. I definitely recommend this spot to anyone who enjoys good comfort food!

Got the chicken fried chicken with mac and cheese as my side. Not bad but one piece of chicken for $17??? The Mac was ok, kinda watery. They also couldn’t sub out the bacon in the chicken and waffles for eggs or anything else without upcharging. Eggs are literally cheaper than bacon. Overpriced place, food isn’t horrible but there are better options. Coffee was meh.

The grits, a slow-wrought porridge of ground corn, held a pale, creamy luminescence like a moon on a foggy night. They were a foundation, a patient, simple earth for what was to come. Upon this quiet bedrock, the shrimp were scattered, their bodies curled in an almost supplicant posture, pink and firm. The air, heavy with the humid summer scent of the Carolina low country, was now thick with the aroma of their pan-seared grace—a faint whisper of garlic and a buttery richness that clung to the back of the throat. A sauce, a deep russet, the color of clay-rich river water after a hard rain, pooled and swirled around them, an intricate lacework of flavor. It was not a hasty sauce, but one that had known time, a patient simmering of tomatoes and smoky bacon, its depths holding the ghost of a sherry finish. To eat it was to feel the generations of that land, the sun-baked fields, the slow-moving creeks, the hands that had worked them all. The spoon cut through the softness, the grits yielding with a sigh, the shrimp firm against the tooth, the sauce an audacious, complex chord struck against the simple, sustained note of the corn. It was a meal of memory and anticipation, of quiet comfort and profound, savory joy.

Also, Olivia rocked.

Original post:
Tapas style works well here. Excellent food and great serving staff. We've been regulars here (when we come in from out of town) for a while and we're never disappointed. It can get loud at times, but hey, when you're out with friends that happens. The owner and manager often come out to talk.

Most underrated restaurant in Concord/Kannapolis area. Price is reasonable ($~55 for two adults and 3 kids; everyone ordering a non-water drink). Food was unbelievably good. I got the Cajun Hash. It’s like I’m a whole new man after eating it. Kids loved their food. Wife too. Food came out literally less than 10 minutes after ordering. Service was great. Super clean. How is there not a line around the block on Saturday night at this place? Wow. Keep up the great work!

The restaurant itself was nice and our server was great but we waited a little longer than normal for a blt and patty melt for lunch. The table and the chairs were wobbly but I would eat there again. It was really good.
