Ordered a veggie panini to go, bread was warm and the cheese w/stuffing was cold. For $7 that I paid, I got a 2 finger sandwich. Asked for water while I waited, didn't bother to give a cup. They took 15mins to box my order and the restaurant was not even busy for lunch that day.

I ordered the crabcake salad with comeback sauce, ranch, and champagne vinaigrette, all of which were strongly recommended by an employee. It certainly lived up to the hype. The portion size was generous—enough for two meals! The crabcakes were warm and full of flavor, and the croutons were so large that I initially thought they were pieces of grilled chicken. The staff was friendly and well-informed about the menu. The restaurant itself was clean, although parking can be a bit tricky. One major drawback is that the downtown location closes at 2:30 PM on weekdays and is not open on weekends. Enjoy!

The banana pudding brought back lovely memories of my grandma's recipe, while the unsweet tea was light, crisp, and refreshing. And that crab cake salad with the comeback dressing? Absolutely fantastic! This has been the best meal I've had in Mississippi so far. *chef's kiss*
