Despite the small amount of people in the restaurant, the service was really slow. My drink sat at the bar for about 10 minutes before the server attempted to bring it over. It began to spill so she sat it down and then disappeared for another ten minutes with it out of view. It didn’t taste like sweet potato despite ordering a sweet potato martini. Our appetizer didn’t come and when our food did, we were told it was never put in. My friend had a bowl and it was watery and the steak not flavorful. I had a bacon and egg sandwich. It was stacked with egg and had a thick amount of spicy ketchup substance. The wings were ordered as apps came and they were cooked well but the chimichurri flavor combination wasn’t great. While waiting for our waitress we noticed other tables seated after us for a while that still hadn’t ordered. We ended up leaving to find another place to dine.

The sausage egg and cheese sandwich subbing with the sweet potato biscuit was a great choice! I will definitely be back!

The food took 15 minutes witch wasn’t too bad but the server got my drink order wrong. The price was what I was expecting from a place like this. Happy to be supporting a black owned business but wish it was more high class like advertised
