Quick friendly service… And an amazing menu to choose from… I had the tomato, pimento cheese pie and the deviled eggs, and they were both absolutely fantastic… I highly recommend!
Definitely one of the best restaurants in Raleigh. I was blown away by this place the first time I ate here and have never been disappointed with all my dining experiences since. The menu offerings are pure genius.
Hands down the best shrimp and grits, escargot, and wings in town. Their food is elevated without any pretentious. Most importantly-it's delicious food! Great, friendly service and a comfortable atmosphere that makes you feel welcomed.

We had the smoked wings - i got the dry rub which was delicious and juicy for the most part. Restaurant itself didn't have the best AC so it felt a bit humid inside and everything was a bit sticky, including the tables and chairs and floors.
