The highlight was the beer-battered onion rings. I ordered the fish, while my friend chose a chicken sandwich. She remarked that her sandwich tasted as if it had been fried in fish grease. The most disappointing aspect was our waiter, Jordan. After taking our orders and serving us, he spent the remainder of the time chatting and laughing with the bartender and another patron at the bar, despite the restaurant not being busy. At one point, we were the only customers there. A few other people arrived and were seated, but Jordan didn’t check on them either; one of the guys had to go over to get his attention for their orders. When my friend and I finished our meal, I had to approach the door and interrupt Jordan’s conversation just to have him print our bills.

Eventually, a male waiter told us to find a seat, and then took our drink orders. Unfortunately, the food took an excessively long time to arrive. I found the greens to be overly sweet, which I didn’t like at all. The catfish was decent, but I was disappointed to find only sweet pickles instead of dill pickles, which I find unappetizing. There were no onions, and my cold French fries had way too much salt. On the bright side, my friend enjoyed his grilled chicken dinner with greens and black-eyed peas. However, I personally won’t be returning.
