Feels like ages since I last visited Nexus! The food is still pretty tasty, and their jambalaya remains my go to comfort dish. When I added shrimp, the portion felt a bit light for the $22 price—those shrimp must have been playing hide and seek with the jambalaya! On the bright side, the lady at the pickup counter was absolutely wonderful friendly, quick, and made the whole experience a smooth sail. Definitely worth another visit!

Great food (Nashville fried chicken was terrific, but not as hot as the menu warned, which was good in my book), dining area wasn't great, but it is the fair priced and very good food to come here for.

Small brewery selling some delicious soul food and good beer!! The fried chicken breast and collard greens are a must-try! The fish came out hot...crunchy with a flaky inside. Awesome service with a warm and inviting atmosphere.
