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!

Food was AMAZING! I had the shrimp and grits... it was chefs kiss Hubby had the chicken and waffles, we shared a side of Mac and cheese. I devoured every bite!!! Music was really nice. Ambience totally a cool vibe. Great service. Visiting from out of town but boy when I get the chance... I will be back! PS: Pricey but worth each penny

When I received them I was excited until I tasted it. They had no flavor and it was mixed with meat from some kind of fish. There was very little crab meat in it. The crab cakes are $38 so you think your getting good quality crab meat and your not. It's mostly fish. I was very disappointed.

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.

The collard greens are absolutely delicious and practically melt in your mouth! The baby back ribs are tender and so good you'll want to lick your fingers clean... read more The collard greens are absolutely delicious and practically melt in your mouth! 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.
