    The catfish and grits were excellent. I am usually a sugar on grits person, but these needed nothing. They were perfect.

    I love the look and atmosphere but the service wasn’t great. They provide you a menu with 80% of it you can’t buy or they ran out of. And then you’re completely limited on food and cocktails. I wanted the short rib mac and they said they’re only serving chicken and fries. I’m like then provide a menu stating that. I asked for a specific cocktail, she stated oh we don’t have that either and then they serve your drinks in plastic cups instead of the glasses that the drinks are suppose to come in. Because now I’m mad, we were there for a hour and left. We waited 20-30 min for our first drinks, had to wait on our table after making reservations. They need to do better with service

    Overall experience was great. Came here with family and friends; disappointed that some items on the menu weren’t available/ ran out but other than that we were happy with our food and very happy with our waiter. Went to the speakeasy afterwards and had a good time vibing to the music. Would definitely come back

    Our waitress was very kind and recommended some amazing drinks based on what I would normally drink. I hate that I can’t remember her name but she was an excellent waitress. The food was great! Ambiance was wonderful! After dinner we stepped into the speakeasy and sat at the bar. I was very pressed with our bartender Trace. Made some excellent cocktails. I asked him what was his favorite drink to make and he explained what was in the drink and I was sold. He got everything together then reminded me that it was in fact a Gin cocktail and I was perfectly fine with it. The drink is called “Army , Navy” and it was delicious. I even ordered a second one. The music was great and would have loved to stay longer but I had to leave. Next time I’m definitely reserving a table at “Busy Signal” also! Highly recommend!

    We enjoyed ourselves but thought we were going to be in a live music dinner experience. We came too early.

    The food was really good, ambiance was really nice (I loved all of the music they played), on Friday there was a live saxophone player. Noise lever was loud but best for singing along and having a good time. Overall, we had a fun night and will return.

    I was in town for a conference. I visited the restaurant due to the historical significance. It was a whole vibe. The lemonade, the wall paintings, the lighting. The music and music videos playing were cool. I’m so glad I visited.
