    We were celebrating our anniversary. The ambience was inviting our server Dave was one of the best people in service I’ve encountered at a restaurant of this caliber. The food that we had which was a crabcake dinner a fried chicken dinner was very good. I would say the chicken wasn’t exactly what I expected but very good. We also tried the desserts which was a peanut butter pie and the carrot cake and I would say some of the best I’ve had in my 45 years on this earth. I would definitely go back again and I would recommend it to others. It is not cheap,but it is well worth the experience.

    Simply one of the best BBQ joints I have ever eaten in. And, I am a BBQ snob! Everything was so very good, pulled pork, chicken, and ribs, but the brisket was truly exceptional! And, the fried chicken deviled eggs are an absolute masterpiece! Don't miss this place if you are anywhere near Columbus.

    We had such a nice waitress which really made our Valentine’s Day dinner enjoyable. Great chocolate covered strawberry martini and delicious hush puppies!! It was nice that the outside fire pit was lit creating a warm feeling inside on a cold night.
