The portions are generous, and I’ve never been disappointed with anything I’ve ordered from the menu. The staff is helpful and friendly, whether you’re getting takeout or dining in. I’ve had the catfish several times, and it's always great. The Brussels sprouts are fantastic, and if you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed by the choices, the sweet potatoes and mac and cheese are must-tries. This is the kind of place you want to visit with family on your first trip so you can sample a bit of everything the menu offers. It’s definitely worth the trip to Springfield.

I actually hate that I only came here for the first time today because I loved it. Like LOVED it. The chicken biscuit with honey was 10/10, and my husband said he got the best burger he's eaten in a long time. Unfortunately, we skipped dessert, but I think that peach cobbler or banana pudding might have my name on it next time I'm back. I'm told there are brunch options on weekends and live jazz every Thursday. Hubs and I are planning to be back next week for jazz night!

The baby back ribs are tender and so good you'll want to lick your fingers clean. This is truly exceptional home-cooked food, just like what you’d have at home. You can really taste the love and care that goes into the preparation. The restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere, decorated with photos of family members and historical figures. I didn't try the bar, but it looked well-stocked with quality spirits. It's a fantastic spot for a first date or a family outing. They offer contactless menus, but you can request paper menus if you prefer.

Although I didn't have the best experience during my previous visit, I'm glad I decided to give this restaurant another try. I attended a small holiday dinner for the Northern Virginia NPHC (Divine 9) chapter and enjoyed the fried pork chops, which I paired with macaroni and cheese and green beans as my sides. The food was so good that I wasn't shy about dropping my fork and eating the meat right off the bone—now that's a sign of a great meal! I noticed other diners trying the grilled pork chops and chicken wings, all of which looked tempting. I even snagged a taste of some greens from another plate, and they were delicious too. I plan to return to sample the desserts. Oh, and the rum punch was a lovely addition while I waited for my food!
