Food is really good, but going for brunch kind of sucks in terms of service. I don’t believe its the waiters fault though. They have a skeleton crew that is stretched thin, and you order from an online menu like you’re picking it up but sitting in a restaurant (its like a fast casual place vs a restaurant which is odd). Its one thing to have the digital menu, but can’t ask questions and even questioned if our food order was put in because it took a while and had no interaction with a waiter. Odd. Again the food was very good, but wouldn’t go back cuz half of going to a restaurant is the experience.

Good food, hush puppies are awesome, cocktails were great. Prices are in line with other joints in the area. Happy hour all day until 5p is a nice bonus, making for really affordable beers and food too. Bartender Chris was our server on Opening Day of baseball season and was all over it, very attentive and laid back. We’ll be back for a date night.
