I wanted to love this place but the food just misses the mark. The chicken is missing spice, specifically it lacks heat to liven it up and balance the sweetness from the tea brine and citrus powder.

Great mac and cheese and cocktails. Deviled eggs were good but only 3 of them. Skip the shrimp and grits they were too soggy and too many onions.
Len GrandAugust 25, 2014
Yum!!! ask for the spicy money and the whiskey maple sauce!!!!

The fried chicken is the best in the city! Side salads are delicious.
Monique SmithJuly 25, 2015
The fried chicken is great! There was a 2hr wait, so just go to the take-out area ... It takes 10min
Amy SagarAugust 11, 2015
Skip the entrees and just get the deviled eggs, peach salad, and mac n cheese!
Jenny UngAugust 29, 2015
Overrated. The mac & cheese noodles were thick & al dente but the sauce was similar to Cheez Whiz. The chicken and waffle sandwich was decent, green tomato was on point but the chicken was tough.
Monica DesaiJuly 27, 2014
Best chicken and waffles sandwich I've ever had. And made to share!
LindaAugust 8, 2014
Easily the best fried chicken I've ever had. Sweet-tea-brined, lemon-dusted and all.
Jen ShinNovember 17, 2015
don't miss out on the mac and cheese.
Fati HussainJune 23, 2015
Fried chicken lives up to the hype. Get the honey biscuits with chicken jus
Gloria ChinJuly 10, 2014
get the gooey cheese sauce waffle fries & chicken and waffle sandwich
Amanda VinciSeptember 13, 2014
Waiting 3 hours for a table is unexpectedly worth it. Get the mac and cheese and roots.

Everything was delicious! Mac and cheese is heaven

Macaroni and cheese, grits, and fried chicken are delicious.
Marco JacobsOctober 10, 2015
Everything!! Can't go wrong with the Brisket Biscuit
Ashley MeadApril 30, 2016
Not great brunch. Maybe dinner is better. Chicken & waffles are pre-made, get reheated upon ordering. Biscuits are good, but go to Sweet Chick or Pies n Thighs for significantly better fried chicken.
Len GrandAugust 26, 2014
Ask for the honey sauce!! The aioli dip sauce is superb with the fries
Adam WrightMarch 10, 2017
Solid fried chicken, good drinks, and laid back atmosphere.

I recommend chicken and waffle sandwich. Delicious it was!
Meg FarmerOctober 29, 2014
Cute place, love the atmosphere. Fried chicken was good, shrimp and grits was over rated.

Half chicken, biscuits, Mac and cheese, and@a specialty cocktail x2

Service a shitshow. Good fried chicken. Cocktails are cloying. Awesome biscuits

This place is the bomb I will always come here for as long as they are open

The basket of fried chicken and the Brussels sprouts were the jam.
Nathasha AlvarezAugust 10, 2015
The food looked great. Definitely not fun if you use a wheelchair. If you eat outside you're slanting down into the street. Inside very loud and crowded. The bathrooms aren't wheelchair friendly.
Akua AidooOctober 11, 2014
Wait def worth it. If you get the whole chicken just get 1 side..so much food

Chicken and waffle. Done. O, mac and cheeeese!
MeganJanuary 11, 2015
The fried chicken was amazing. I could eat a whole bucket myself.

Mac and Cheese, Chocolate S’Mores Cake; Planter’s Punch
Jordan OplingerSeptember 28, 2014
Ask to sit outside and skip the entire wait. We essentially got take out delivered to our table and skipped an hour and a half wait. Score.
Dina RughaniDecember 19, 2014
Fried chicken, biscuits, and the veggie sides are delish!
Briana AdlerJanuary 10, 2015
waffles were underwhelming, chicken could've been crispier, biscuits were perfect
Simon CheadleMarch 13, 2019
Small and friendly place. Recommend the ribs
AmberMarch 17, 2016
Fried chicken and waffles. Sides are good too.

Fried chicken, Mac and cheese, and buckwheat waffles
Ronald BarbaJune 25, 2016
I've had their fried chicken three times, and every time my thought is "why do people like this so much?" Pretty overrated. Head over to Bobwhite Counter where the fried chicken is 10 times better.

Deviled eggs
