“Great atmosphere, with good music and artwork. It’s a small business that shows pride in what they offer. The food is amazing! A co worker and I were in the area today for a training that was based on east coast time (trainer was remote).:Much to our dismay, the lunch break was at 10am, but then we discovered this gem! I had the uptown shrimp ‘n grits, and my friend had biscuits and gravy. Amazing flavors and generous portions.“

“A very cozy bar to hang out in, with extra seating in the back. Love that they have some NA mixed drink options. They have a couple vegan food options (fries, salad, pickles), and I’ll admit those fries are BOMB, would love a couple more options like a vegan burger or hush pups?? Happy to have a great new neighborhood haunt.“

“"The Trinity" The flavor and the texture was exactly what I was craving. I think it is awesome to build your own gumbo as well.-The only negative thing is that the bowls are super thin and this item comes PIPING HOT so use extra napkins and use Caution I almost dropped my bowl because I was not expecting it to be so hot.“
