Thing #2, this is a ONE-MAN OPERATION. Yup, he's the waiter, the prep-cook, the chef, the front-end manager AND the 'cashier'. At least that's the deal on Thursdays when we typically go. Ultimately, the first point works in your favor, cuz with a little forethought, a small cooler and your favorite beverage, you will likely save you and yours at least $10. As for the second premise, our suggestion is to ask for timeframes early and often...then get comfy and DOUBLE those estimates. Hopefully your company (and/or your phone) will make the time disappear without notice, because it'll honnestly be a bit. Wes is a very busy man...and he tends to tell you what you wanna hear - the only things actually preventing a fifth Yelp star. Just know that the chances are quite good that it will have been well worth the wait. Mac-N-Cheese, killer. Steaks, juicily executed extremely well. Combinations of proteins always seem to mesh well, even in something as simple as a wrap. And just when you think you understand what it is that he does really well, he throws a chicken and waffle dish that blows away anything else in town, possibly any other such attempt at this iconic southern dish. (Pro tip, try a side of jerk sauce or BYO Tobasco.) Perhaps he has assistance on the weekends - one would hope so anyway, but this place definitely makes us appreciate hard work, good times and outstanding cooking. Great take out game too!

I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed…read more I'm disappointed because in my 46 years on this planet, this was probably the best meal I have ever had. Which means everything else is downhill from here. I started with the Buffalo-style chicken wings. They claimed they were "jumbo and juicy." I've heard that line before, so naturally I was skeptical. Then they came out. They were absolutely true to their name. Huge, ridiculously juicy, and coated in what tasted like some kind of cornflake-style breading before being fried to absolute perfection. Crispy. Crunchy. Juicy. Every bite had that perfect crackle on the outside without sacrificing anything inside. Then came the steak. Now, I cook a mean steak myself, and I'm rarely impressed when I order one at a restaurant. Most of the time I'm sitting there thinking, "Yeah, I could've done this at home." Not this time. This was a 14-ounce New York strip cooked medium rare, and I would have been proud of myself if I had cooked that steak. It was so flavorful that asking for salt would have felt like a sin. But somehow, the steak wasn't even the whole story. The mixed vegetables were seasoned perfectly. I hate okra. I'm not exactly the president of the squash fan club either. I ate every last bite. Then there was the potato. I don't even know exactly what they did to this thing. It was cut in a way that somehow allowed it to get crispy all over, inside, outside, probably spiritually too, and then covered in a sauce that soaked into all those little crispy layers without ruining the texture. For dessert, I had a limoncello and the tableside crème brûlée with blueberries, pineapple, and marshmallows. The chef came right to the table and torched the crème brûlée and marshmallows in front of me. The fresh fruit and toasted marshmallow were perfect with the rich custard, and taking little sips of limoncello between bites gave you that hit of sweet citrus that reset your palate just enough to make you immediately want another bite. The service matched the food. Friendly, fun, attentive without hovering, and they even boxed up my leftovers for me. So, sincerely, thank you to the chef and the entire staff. You gave me one of the best meals I've ever eaten... and an entirely new reason to have a midlife crisis.

We had a reservation so we were seated promptly at a large table in its own little alcove in the back. While the place was busy, we could chat comfortably with one another and felt adequately separate from other tables. The menu has a bit of everything, so everyone should be able to find something they like on it. We started with cocktails, mozzarella sticks, and pretzel bites. The cocktails were good but I could've used less sweetness in mine. The mozzarella sticks and pretzels bites were standard, which means they were great as usual. For a group of 5 of us, an order of each was enough to hold us over until the main meal. I personally got the fish sandwich for my dinner with fries. The fish was great and large enough that it hung over the sides of the bun. My only complaint about the sandwich was the lack of tartar sauce on it. The cook must have just added the smallest dash, as the only sign it was there was a little spot of discoloration on the bun. The fish was good but the sandwich would have been better with more moisture from that tartar. The fries it came with were standard shoe string fries. Nothing special but hit the spot all the same. Everyone else at the table enjoyed their meals as well and we left comfortably full with no leftovers. Overall the meal came at a good pace, the atmosphere was nice, and the prices were reasonably. If in town again we would come back here.
