First visit, shared 6 dishes with another couple. Couldn’t finish it all. Everything was delicious, the vibe was just right, and we didn’t want to leave. Looking forward to next time.

Service was slow considering there was only 1-2 other parties. Our hush puppies were unfortunately very dry in the inside and we all did not taste much crawfish. The shrimp and grits were bland. The Nashville cat fish and corn bread were good though.

This cute and bright place is a wonderful spot to have a meal at, especially brunch. Greeted with warm smiles and a friendly vibe from the host/hostess to our servers. Everyone was kind and helpful. The cornbread and butter was delicious and my favorite item. I only wish there was more to go around! The fried green tomatoes were well-seasoned and delicious. The panko crusted French toast with peaches was a yummy and filling treat. The collard greens left a bit to be desired as did the beignets. The mac and cheese was great with the crispy, cheesy top and who doesn’t love an affogato with chocolate ice cream! Overall, it was a positive experience. I only wish the portions were slightly bigger as we all shared family-style on the table.
