The fried green tomatoes on top of grits were a very tasty appetizer. (The grits were actually great!) The mac and cheese, however, was disappointing- definitely not a southern recipe, but cheese sauce and pasta.
January 2026
The manager superb! Amazing staff from the time you walk in. Food is what we expected and more. Wanted to purchase the glassware for my visiting family member and the manager wrapped them up himself and would not let me pay for them. Christmas came early for my aunty visiting from Maui. Amazing hospitality šŸ’œ

We went with a large group and was pleased with the food and the service. Nicer time Iā€™d like to try with a smaller group.i hear the Mac n cheese is very good. Will have to try it next time. I really enjoyed the hot honey. The magi magi was good as well.
