Only ding on the service was that following shift change, we had trouble getting our check. Only ding on the "chowda" was it could have been a little warmer. Otherwise, this remains a great spot for a good meal!

Fantastic first visit, will try very hard to come back soon (live about an hour away). Every bit of food hit the right note, chicken was crispy, hot and perfectly seasoned, drinks were varied and well made. Mac and cheese with brisket is a must ! Service was extremely courteous and attentive.
