I sat at the bar and the first thing I had to do was ask the bartender to wipe down the area because there were multiple areas in front of me where previous patrons had sat their drinks (there were no coasters or napkins placed anywhere on the tables or bar by the way). I ordered the fish and chips which came out reasonably soon. The server placed a napkin with a fork and spoon folded inside. I asked for a knife and he replied,"that might be a problem, because they were all in the back being cleaned." Really??!!! On a Wednesday night with a near empty restaurant? I, for one, do not use my finger to push food around on my plate The fish and chips arrived and the fish was nice and hot from the fryer. The chips (fries) were barely warm. Not impressed.

They always…read morehave great live music on the weekends and their typical crowd is ideal compared to some other local bars. Their food selection isn't huge, but that's okay because every single item is amazing. Whether you get their ramen, bao buns, eggrolls, po boys, or appetizers, I promise it will be delicious. My personal favorites are the eggrolls. They have a wide selection on the drink menu, but you can order any standard mixed drinks as well. I recommend trying at least one of their signature cocktails, though, because there are some really neat options! The only downside is the limited seating, which can be annoying if they are super busy. If you get a table or a seat at the bar, you'll have an amazing time. Otherwise, you might be standing along the wall waiting for a spot to open up. That's a risk that's probably worth taking, though, given how great the atmosphere will be while you're here!

Lots of people aren't great singers...that's expected. The karaoke guy runs the worst karaoke show I've seen in a long time. Anywhere from 4 to 7 minutes of thumping bumper music to entertain himself between singers (nothing against the genre, but it was completely opposite of every song people were choosing...know your demographic), no concept at all of basic EQ (vocals buried under the booming and mushy bass) , filled the room with smoke so thick you could barely see the stage, and blows a super loud and annoying air-horn sound effect between every. single. freakin'. song. Again...food, drinks, ambience and service are great. But if you enjoy karaoke, avoid.

The sign for the place is a little hard to see and I missed the turn to enter the parking area initially. Made our way back and found a spot, though the lot is a little bit hard to maneuver. We walked inside to a slightly hot, slightly dim interior. It's larger than it looks on the outside. A friendly waitress told us we could sit where we liked, so we took a booth near a window so we could see the menu better. Their choices were fairly varied for lunch. Lunches come with a meat + 3 veggies and your choice of bread. I ordered the boneless fried chicken breast, macaroni and cheese, fried okra, and at the recommendation of our waitress, the hash brown casserole with a roll as my bread. My mom got the country fried steak with brown gravy, macaroni and cheese, fried okra, cabbage, and a roll. My dad got the same thing except he subbed the cabbage for greens of some sort, though I can't recall if they were turnip or collard greens. He also got the fried cornbread. Our waitress was very nice and patient with us, even with my dad chatting her up, lol. Our food came out quickly. You pay at the register up front -- we thought the prices were reasonable. As for the food itself, it was enjoyable! Simple, straightforward, but tasty and comforting. The chicken was breaded expertly and was cooked well. To me, the stand out was the fried okra, which was perfectly crisp. We also enjoyed the macaroni and cheese, greens, and chicken fried steak. My mom said her best thing was the cabbage, which was surprising at first -- but I agree, the cabbage was excellent! The hashbrown casserole and the fried cornbread were the only two letdowns; the casserole needed to be cooked and seasoned a bit more, and the cornbread was likewise a little on the floppy side, instead of having pleasantly crisp edges. Overall, though, solid country cooking at a reasonable price served quickly by nice people. Give them a go if you're in the area.

I ordered the roasted chicken leg quarter, and that was honestly the only thing that tasted good. Unfortunately, everything else we tried was really disappointing. The turnip greens were extremely sweet and tasted canned, and the pinto beans were especially off -- they had a sour, almost mildewy flavor, like they'd been mixed with an older batch. I couldn't eat them at all. The hush puppies were very greasy, and even the tea order was mixed up. I ordered half-and-half tea, but on the second serving I was given sweet tea and had to ask again for unsweet. This might be an okay place if you're feeding a large group and not too picky, but overall the food just wasn't good, and it didn't feel fresh. I really think the kitchen needs to review quality and freshness. Personally, I'd rather eat at home than come back. I'm definitely willing to try it again but the food has got to be more fresh if it's southern home cooking.
