Had the pleasure of coming to this wonderful place with my cousins. The food was incredible. It's a…read moresmall restaurant with incredible flavors. They will soon be expanding the space to include a bar and more tables. I am from California, so I look forward to see what they do to the place when I get back. I ordered the Etoufee Egg Rolls, Wings, and Jambalaya. My cousin ordered a burger, and his son ordered the Mac and cheese. OMG - the egg rolls were incredible. It came with a roumalade that I think they need to bottle up and sell. It's the kinda sauce you'd want to put on everything. I liked the texture and flavor of the wrap and omg the flavors tasted like they were wrapped in love. Chloe, the owner, told us that the jambalaya ones are even better. I was already ordering the jambalaya so I opted for the etouffee to get a wider variety of flavors. I ordered the wings with the lemon pepper and buffalo seasoning. The combo was a little salty, but good. That roumalade with it was bombacious! The jambalaya won my heart. It gave me the warm fuzzies because it felt like a beautiful story unfolded with every bite. So many flavors to take your tastebuds on an incredible journey. Love that the food is cooked in beef tallow. You can taste it in the fries. The crispiness and omg - I miss the days before people cooked with vegetable oil. Looking forward to the day when I can come back again. PS- please bottle up that roumalade and sell it!

My total was just over $30, which is absurd; particularly since the ribs were on the tougher side - almost as if they were reheated.

Sweet with some tang to it and just enough spice (I prefer spicier but hubby said it was just right). Really solidly great rib tips. The hushpuppies were fantastic. I think I ate like 7 of them. Just perfect. Wings were fantastic and seasoned just right. The mac and cheese was good but was heavy on the salt and garlic. Corn bread was a no. Burnt and very dry. I asked for hot sauce and some of the spicy bbq sauce and typed out that I knew it was extra and that was fine. No sauce came. No honey or anything for the hushpuppies either. Also...no napkins or forks or spoons. If it's a to go order...it's a pretty good bet that you need utensils and napkins. All in all, darn good bbq.

We all ordered the Grand Tasting, which lets you try three entrees plus a beverage. It was so much food but everything was delicious. I had the short rib, fried chicken, and catfish, each with different sides. The only thing I did not really care for was the dressing. They also had live entertainment, which made the vibe even better. Customer service was just okay, but I would still recommend it. I definitely want to try their other location since I have heard the menu is different.

Because it was a busy holiday we had a reservation made for 1:30 pm, and of course my friend group was running a little late but they were so friendly and accommodating. There was a 90 minute time limit to eat due to how busy the day was, but they were so kind to start the clock after everyone in our party showed up. Now for the good stuff! The food? Phenomenal! On the menu they have a special called the Grand Tasting where you can get 3 sampler entrees and a free glass of champagne or wine (red or white), all for $69. Everyone in my group decided to get this deal so we could all sample one another's food. I ordered the Tuffle Lobster Mac and Cheese, The Carolina Creamy Shrimp and Grits, and the Sicilian Sriracha Chicken Parmigiana. Everything was fantastic, so incredibly delicious. For the entrees to be samples they were a pretty decent size. The shrimp and grits and the Mac and cheese were absolutely perfect 10/10. I wish there was a location in the suburbs I would go here all the time! Huge thank you to the staff for their great hospitality. I almost forgot to mention that this place has live music, which definitely helps create an enjoyable vibe while you're dining. This place is a must try!!

This is the flagship location which is being converted into a full restaurant. On this occasion there was inside dining and some outside dining available. We ordered inside and then our food was brought outside. We got the meat sample and the side samplers. Both were tasty. My favorites were the brisket, cornbread, apple slaw with the pulled pork and even the Mac and Cheese was hitting. The spice on the gumbo was good but I needed the temperature to be hotter. I will say that was only negative feedback, I felt the food was not warm enough. Overall, I enjoyed the food and the service. We were pleasantly surprised by the craft cocktails and wine available for purchase. The craft cocktails are really delicious and couldn't believe that you get a little bit bang for your buck. Again, I would highlight the flavor on the meat. The brisket didn't need anything to be added to it. I also enjoyed the smoked jalapeño sausage. A special bonus is that they sold Brown Sugar bakery cake. We got the caramel cake and it was good. Next time I'm getting my own slice of cake and I am not sharing half with my husband because I only ended up getting one/fourth of the cake.
