I told our waitress it was my friends birthday. At the end of our delicious meal, she brought out a chocolate cake on a plate decorated for her birthday with a card signed by the employees. Thank you for helping make tonight a special birthday dinner.

This was one of the most amazing places I have ever eaten. The food tasted so good, and homemade—it felt like I was over someone’s house getting some comfort food. True, authentic, southern cooking. The service was amazing. Everyone was very welcoming and hospitable.

When I walked in, one of my favorite songs were playing (a John Summit song) so I was already having a great first impression. Our server Doug was amazing. He was patient, answered our questions and his timing in between courses was perfect. I’m very picky about my cosmos, and mine was made exactly to my liking. The food was delicious, I will definitely be coming back to try more dishes! Next time I’ll leave room for dessert!
