They have a 2.5 hr limit on their tables which was fine w/ our group being that they were fast efficient in taking the orders kept our glasses filled. We ordered: shrimp grits--creamy w/ a cajun seasoning; steak eggs which came w/ a salad potatoes--steaks were ordered medium but came back well done (yet very filling); chicken waffle--1/2 chicken (filling as well). If you come on SUN, the bar is filled with patrons watching football which lends to the noise level especially if a favorite team is playing. They also have patio dining that we initially reserved until it started raining we were accommodated indoors

The prices are overly high for cafeteria-style food, and the atmosphere is not welcoming with depressing music and a non-Black staff. I suggest saving your money for a better experience at another Black-owned restaurant. I was disappointed to see a drumstick priced at $24 on a plate of leaves with a side of Kraft Mac n cheese, and they didn't even have an orange slice for my drink. Overall, I did not see any signs of Black excellence at this establishment.

The main complaint is there was no discernable part of chicken, just humks of breading with some chicken inside... almost like tempura but more crunchy. We took home leftovers but it turned out to be just more breading and very little chicken. I'd probably just get shrimp and grits like last time. That was excellent.

Music was nice. Food was good. I always love the fried devil eggs. Amanda is a sweetheart and London is a real kind and professional manager. Good choice Frantz... read more Music was nice.
