I went totally by others recommendations and I am so glad I did. This little place is a Must. The food was delicious, ambiance was great and the service was also great. I love finding a perfect spot when I visit a new place and this restaurant qualifies as that. We really enjoyed the food decor and even the playlist. The planning here was well done. Our group was 7 adults, we tried the catfish, chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits and the 3 cheese burger and the corn bread and homey butter. Everything was delicious. I might dream about the cornbread because the combo with the honey bitter was delectable. Thank you Bee soulful for a lovely experience. See you next time we visit the area.
