    This place is horrible. Got my entire order wrong and didn't add my sauces. Do not recommend at all.

    Overall 3.5* Decent grub and definitely willing to come back and try more items from the menu…read more What we got: Original Nashville (heatwave) - 3.5* good chicken, decent flavour. The spice is a powdered seasoning that they add to the chicken. Waffle fries (large) - 3.*5 my partner liked them more than I did but still decent fries. Probably wouldn't get the large again and just stick with the medium.

    Solid fried chicken and fries! I was a bit skeptical of this place given some reviews I saw online…read morebut I think my positive experience came down to what to order. This is a really chicken spot (even though they have burgers) so you're kind of doing a disservice not getting chicken. I ordered a chicken sandwich meal, that came with fries and a drink for $12. Great deal. It was a bit busy so we waited a bit but when the food came it was piping hot! It also comes with their signature sauce and the garlic pepper sauce. I didn't love the signature sauce but the garlic pepper sauce is like crack, I poured it all over my sandwich and the fries. It was a really solid sandwich. The only downside was the seating inside isn't great. There are a few high top seats near the door and another table with chairs toward the back. It felt a little cramped no matter where you sat. It's definitely more of a grab and go vibe, but the seating would be fine if it was an off time of day. But that won't stop me, I'd definitely go back!

The Chicken tenders weren't tender and the coating was over-salted. The full rack of BBQ Pork ribs was a winner, tender and meaty with great flavor. The Slow-smoked Chicken is delicious and a nice, moist change from the usual chicken treatments. The Smoked Chicken Wings were great too. I wouldn't get the Texas Beef Brisket or the Carolina Pulled Pork again, but they weren't bad, just lots of other choices that were better! The sides here are stand-outs too. I almost didn't get the vegetarian Collard Greens since I love collards cooked with meat but these were delicious -- they never made it to the microwave, they were so vinegary-good when I sampled them cold lol! The Mac & Cheese was good and cheesy. The baked beans were good but again vegetarian where I'd prefer meat included and I didn't care for the sweet sauce. The Skillet Cornbread is the best I've had, slightly sweet with a good corn flavor that made me decide to buy a WHOLE skillet rather than just the generously portioned slice next time, especially since it's such a good value. I do regret not trying the coleslaw and potato salad so again, next time. The little rolls are tasty too, moist and slightly sweet but it's a pity they aren't burger-size so you can make a sandwich with all that delicious meat and sides.

    Ordered delivery and that went well. Ribs were so bad that my husband would not eat them after two…read morebites, I ate a bit more but these ribs win the prize for the worst ribs I have ever eaten. I am not a great cook but mine are much better. Hard pass on ribs from this place. Would have rated one star for food alone but delivery went well and was timely so I awarded stars for that.

They have plenty of patio seating around the restaurant and a modest dining area with bar seating and a few booths. The staff was friendly enough, but I will admit that I had very limited interaction with them The restaurant serves salads, fried chicken, sandwiches, and caviar. I know that is kind of random. I placed my order online. I ordered the 4-piece chicken, dipped in hot honey. I also got a side of Brussels sprouts. The food was delicious. The chicken was amazing, and the Brussels sprouts were scrumptious. They were both tasty, and I highly recommend them. This restaurant has some delicious food. They offer a student discount. I am glad that I made it here and highly recommend checking this place out. I definitely will be back soon.

The Red Hot Dust was especially good, and I loved that they have both fried chicken and lobster options on the menu. That said, the service was unfortunately disappointing during our visit. We received the wrong side sauce and had to ask for water, plates, silverware, and napkins. I also wanted to add a couple more things to our order, but it took so long for someone to come back around that we eventually just gave up on adding them. It felt like we had to repeatedly ask for basic things throughout the meal, which took away from what could have been a really great dining experience. Overall, I would come back for the food because it was genuinely amazing, but I hope the service improves because the food definitely deserves better hospitality.

I ordered 2 whiting plates. One with collard greens with smoked turkey and fries and the other with Mac n cheese and rice and gravy. The fries were good. The whiting was fried to perfection. I also like the greens (I'm a southerner so I'm a bit hard to please). Everything was reasonably priced. The restaurant had nice music playing and has a bit of a lounge feel with the dark walls. It wasn't crowded on a Friday during lunch time. I'd go back for sure.

There is some parking in front and there is a parking garage that is within walking distance. I ordered wings and a meatloaf platter that came with two sides. I ordered lemon pepper and the sticky wings. The wings were crispy but lacked the lemon pepper flavor. I wish the stinky wings had more of the sauce on them. The meatloaf was seasoned well. You could get smothered with gravy or their bbq sauce. For my sides I ordered the greens and mashed potatoes with gravy. The greens were seasoned well. I don't know if I would go back, simply because it was really far out for me. If you are in the area I would say am check it out. The staff and service was amazing.
