The Fried Chicken Biscuit is unreal. Even better with hot sauce.

Literally the rudest servers. But the food is delicious.

Food is mediocre and the service is absolutely terrible. Waitress never came over after hastily taking the order. After giving this place numerous chances I will not be back. Save your money!

Food was okay, but the service was horrible. Went during brunch and they were out of everything (Mimosas, steak, pork chops, etc.) Would not recommend.

The pulled pork and the beans are great.

we take most credit cards (visa, amex, master card), but no I-O-U's or checks... Cash is King Though.
