They had a great selection of Alcohol Free drinks to enjoy. A wine list too. The food was amazing. Fried green tomatoes with peach sage drizzle, potato cakes with pimento cheese-Fabulous. We will be back next time we are in town.

The fried chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, with a perfect blend of spices that make it irresistible. The macaroni and cheese is creamy and decadent, with a gooey melted cheese that melts in your mouth. And let's not forget the collard greens, simmered to perfection with just the right amount of smoky flavor and tender texture. Each bite transports you to a place of comfort and nostalgia, and the flavors linger long after the meal is over. This is soul food at its finest. It’s amazing this place is still open and looking forward to revisiting during my next visit in the near future.

We all ordered fried chicken with assorted sides. The chicken breast was ok. It was a little dry, but the batter it was in wascrunchy and tasteful. The rice and gravy was unremarkable. Mac and cheese, good but didn?t stand out. Collards were tender. Thegreen beans and potatoes were unremarkable. I?m from Louisiana/Texas, my wife, Southern Alabama. I understand southern comfortfood. For the price we paid for three to have a fried chicken breast, no choice offered, only breast) and unremarkable sides,I?m not certain I?d categorize this as ?southern comfort food?. Perhaps we?ll stop by again and try another dish.
