    Pappardelle pasta with shrimp and a hazelnut pesto sauce

    Last minute dinner turned into a wonderful experience. We've been here before but each time we come there is a special and it never ceases to amaze me. We' got the pappardelle pasta with hazelnut pesto and ruby red shrimp. It was delicious and a generous portion. We also got the hamburger steak that never fails, it's always so tender and flavorful. You can tell they take pride in quality ingredients therefore prices reflect that but worth every penny!Always a good experience here with great service.

    Friendly staff, good drinks, warm atmosphere, and excellent flavors. Modern takes on southern classics. I recommend the roasted sweet potatoes.

The service was timely and smooth. The vibe was ok it felt like we were opening the place so no music or background noise but TV were on. They have a beautiful facility with a upstairs private section in all white. The downstairs is all black. There is a setup of beverage of twa, lemonade and water that is automatic at $2.50 called VIP. I ordered pork chops with 2 sides, spaghetti, northern beans and cornbread for 19.99. The portion size was good. The spaghetti was sweet. Beans were salty but good. But the star of the dish was just that, the star! Them pork chops were perfect. Pot roast was good and turkey necks were huge! Overall a great spot for good food. Most dishes were $17-19 with 2 sides, overall meal $24! Not bad at all and closed in parking lot.

The waitresses were good did not want to leave them out.

    As per usual, I forgot pics - but imagine your grandma's cooking during a summer harvest from her…read moreown garden. A perfect meat and three. Everything was delicious. I had the veggie plate with butter beans (they were a bit sweet and limas, not true butter beans), fried squash (the slice it long ways and hand batter), spinach mashed potatoes, and deviled eggs (delicious, no notes). I tried both hush puppies and a roll. Personally, the hush puppies weren't my favorite, but the roll was buttery goodness:). Most importantly, I asked our server at the beginning if they still had chocolate cobbler and if they were running low to go ahead and bring it out. At first they had plenty, but a few minutes later cobbler was in front of me because she noticed it was running low. So dessert first! Don't mind if I do:) it was warm, gooey, and delicious. Others in my group had the chicken fried steak, and chicken tenders. Everyone was very happy with their meals! Service was great, though the kitchen was a little slow. It took about 30 mins to get our meals. Fun, old timey atmosphere - great service - and delicious home cooking. Will definitely be back.

As soon as you're seated, you'll have a tempting signboard presented at your table with every southern classic you can imagine. With entrees like fried chicken and catfish, endless sides like turnip greens, white beans, and just about anything you can imagine fried, and every kind of southern pie, it's all there. The catfish is magnificent, with that wonderfully gritty cornmeal batter surrounding flaky, tender fish. The complimentary roll is also delicious! And the servers are very nice here! But there are some downsides. The fried okra, my favorite southern side dish, is actually soft and soggy. No self respecting southerner would ever make soggy fried okra. It's about the worst I ever had. And the onion rings, which are hard to mess up, were burnt black and lacked flavor. They were inedible. The cashier is rude and doesn't have time for "thank you" or small talk or a smile or even giving you your receipt when nobody else is in line to pay their bill. That's just how it is. If you want good catfish, Sling Shot Charlie's will come through. But if you want a southern culinary experience that's enjoyable, there are much better places to have it!

    I started with the mimoosa flight. The flavors weren't labeled, but I believe the strawberry and…read moreapple were my favorite. I ordered a medium rare ribeye, which was slightly overcooked but still a very good cut of meat. I did not care for the coleslaw or the gouda macaroni and cheese. The meal was served with toast. The chocolate pecan pie with ice cream was good. I arrived at 6:30 and was given a glass of water that a drank immediately because i was thirsty. Any establishment that must function understaffed should be like Nashville clubs and set out a jug of water so people can refill their cups on their own. They took my drink order at 7. There were no empty seats at the bar so I sat alone at a table. The experience was OK but they need at least one more server. The only reason they get by with charging over fifty dollars for the steak is because there's literally no other place within 40 miles you can get a good steak. The sides are below average. The servers are friendly but obviously overworked. The bathroom was clean and there was plenty of parking.

The restaurant portion of the building was almost empty, and I was seated almost immediately, but I was placed at a table in a high traffic area next to the kitchen. After a while, I flagged down an employee since it was unclear to me who my server was. I put in an appetizer order of their heavenly eggs. They included a wonderfully tart sauce, and the serving size was three eggs. The mushroom gnocchi that I had was delicious, and enough to feed two people. The potato dumplings were expertly made, and some of the best that I've ever eaten. Other than the service being a bit hit and miss, I would return if only for the excellent food.
