This restaurant is in a strip shopping center and in the area of local hotels. We were seated near the bar which was a nice booth with raised barriers between tables which made conversation easy. Our server Kaydi quickly came over to offer drinks, an energetic tone, a positive smile, and the refreshing Southern "yes ma'am/sir." I got the Blues Brothers Burger with sweet potato fries, a very tasty lunch, and filling. We were offered to-go drinks, a cordial touch. Pricing averaged about $25 per person, a very reasonable price for the value delivered. Overall, we will certainly be back the next time we're driving along the east coast. I hope we're lucky enough to meet Kaydi again, as she's an asset to this establishment.

Out of all the times we came, I only got a picture of one thing- which this crème brûlée espresso martini was good! I think my favorite I had from there was their old fashioned, it was perfectly balanced. Food wise we tried the bang bang shrimp, Ceasar salad, steak frites, their ribeye and Brussels sprouts and everything was delicious, cooked perfectly and served immediately and quickly! If we were locals this would definitely be one of our regular spots, the atmosphere here is friendly, warming and welcoming, and food and drinks are phenomenal.

*update May 17, 2026…read more The local manager reached out and I'm impressed. No excuses, but an apology and they are sending a gift card. Here's what I value--old school customer service--I will try them again when we travel that way because they reached out to do the right thing. I'm hopeful and will give them another try. The folks there were frantically trying to fill orders and I'll give them credit. However, when we picked up our order (it wasn't ready on time), it was wrong, awful quality and ended up being inedible. The pulled pork lacked flavor, the portions of the sides was small and the Brunswick Stew was nasty. And I love Brunswick Stew. The pecan pie was some kind of gross blob of gel that tastes nothing like pecan pie. I'm so utterly disappointed. For context, we'd been traveling all day and just wanted some comfort food in our bellies and rest up for the rest of our trip. Such a bummer.

Cafeteria-style soul food with daily specials. Fried food is cooked to order so no soggy food. Fish can be ordered soft, medium, or hard and I suggest going with hard. The breading is flavorful and the beans are cooked with pork. You don't need to be told, you can taste it. I didn't get any of the large portions of homemade cake but every other customer did so I'm thinking they know what they're doing. Most of the customers seem to be regulars and the staff is very friendly. It's almost like eating at your neighbor's house - your neighbor who's a great cook. Strongly recommended.

Taste isn't quite a meaty taste but nevertheless it was tasty. My relative had the double patty smash burger without cheese which she said was good.
