Faux Southern.....

I have never understood the gushing praise for this poor self-proclaimed Southern restaurant. They do not know how to handle fried chicken, vegatable side dishes or dessert. I have to return often to meet friends but always encourage them to try elsewhere. BTW--the staff has always been professional to me, but the seating experience is atrocious.

Unimpressive

Ambiance was lacking. Too many tables packed together. Made us feel we were in an upscale cafeteria. Took 20 minutes for the waiter to come & get our drink order. The wine list seems to be an afterthought w/ high prices for quite mediocre wine. Busboys don't clear the clear tables in a timely manner & when they do, they end up throwing silver & plates on tables creating quite a racket. Music playing was contemporary Top 40 and not a good choice for a so called "fine dining" experience. We did enjoy the Friend Green tomatoes and She Crab soup, but the fried chicken was unimpressive. We were looking forward to a good meal of Southern cooking but the overall experience was quite disappointing. Decided not to stay for dessert.

Pretty good food but not worth the money

My husband and I went here last Friday evening to celebrate his b-day but we were both disappointed. The place is small and they have the tables/chairs crammed in to seat everyone. At a table for 2, we were seated a little too close for our comfort to another couple but we saw that everyone was in the same boat. Biscuits, cornbread and peach tea were good but my husband's citrus marinated skirt steak had no citrus flavor or flavor at all for that matter. My deviled shrimp were very spicy but good but the mac & cheese was just okay. The peach cobbler had no crust, just a sort of granola on top with ice cream. The carpet and wallpaper are obviously worn. Our waitress Sonya was great though.
