I came with a party of 9 and made a reservation a few hours before. We arrived before 8 pm, which was before the DJ started playing. Although we were seated in the front, the music wasn't too loud once the DJ started playing. He had a nice mix of 2000s R&B, local artists, and some of today's hits. People occasionally line danced, which created a nice vibe. The food, marketed as tapas, was in pretty large portions that seemed to be better suited as individual meals. Everyone in my party who ordered food thoroughly enjoyed their orders, which included shrimp with Gouda grits, cornbread, macaroni & cheese, truffle fries, and chicken and waffles. Everyone also loved their cocktails. I had the Southside Shawty (vanilla vodka, elderflower liqueur, pineapple, sugar), which was perfectly balanced and not too sweet. Our server seemed a bit unenthused, and her attitude was a bit of a damper, but all in all, we enjoyed our experience and I recommend this establishment.

5/5 for Food and Service! Everything had was delicious! The cornbread is a must have! Its cake-like…read moretaste is unbeatable with the pecan butter, absolutely delicious! The chicken wings were crispy with a light sweet heat sauce, not drowning in the sauce. The shrimp tacos have good flavor, but they were a bit overwhelmed with the slaw/corn toppings, so took some off and also be advised that the shrimp are cut up in the taco, not whole. Now, I do think the cut up way allows for more shrimp in each bite, so I wouldn't call it a bad thing. I only had a taste of the pot roast and thought the flavors were well balanced. The music is quite loud inside since it's a lounge, so be prepared and try to get a seat not close to the DJ if that's an issue for you. Food came out very fast, super impressed with service!

My intent is not to disparage those restaurants. I eaten at some of them and enjoyed the food so much that I returned for repeat visit(s). Those experiences enable me to make a more valid review and comparison of CW&T with its competitors. Shortly aftert they opened for business I had the wings and fries which were whole, full sized, and flavorful. Unlike CW&T's competitors (from "Miami" and "Chicago") his did not have deep fried feathers attached. I've also had the house burger and since I'm a devout adherent to the local tradition I've had the fish dinner on several Fridays. The burger was fantastic but I was a little disappointed with the fish - it was good but they only had whole Jack and I prefer fillets. I'll close with my CW&T Soul Food Sunday experience. The first time I had turkey, dressing and mac 'n cheese. While I've had dressing from many places over the years none rivaled my mothers. Until now. It was outstanding! Just the right amount of sage. The only thing missing were momma's signature gizzards. The second time I ordered this trio I had the dressing and turkey wing but the wing was over baked and dry. However, I'd say that one less-than-stellar item out of the many I've had from Chicken Waynes and Thangs is a very good average. I encourage you to support this local business. R. Smith

We tried so many things and I have to say that the oxtails, smothered pork chop, banana pudding and sweet potato cheesecake were our faves. The mac and cheese, wings, greens, mashed potatoes, black eyed peas were good. They weren't bad by any means but definitely added some seasoning and hot sauce for preference. Oh, and the strawberry soda was crisp too. My sister wasnt too enthused about the meatloaf. My daughter said the cornbread was just okay, yams too. Service was phenomenal. Every single person we spoke to was kind and very helpful. Ambiance was great, gospel music in the background. It was hot in the restaurant and its not cheap but all in all, worth the trip and I will definitely be back.

Walking through the office today I caught the smell of delicious smoked goodness and instantly wanted some for myself. I can't tell you how happy I was to find that the aroma that caused me to lose track of my engineering responsibilities was located directly outside the front door to the building. This was my 2nd time to get a mouth watering BBQ sandwich from The Southerner. The folks running the truck are always more than helpful and provide a meal that's a good value proposition. Quality, quantity and price seem to be well balanced. Albeit a tad bit on the expensive side. Look to spend about $12 for a sandwich and side. The turkey, brisket and sausage are all great. The brisket is pulled not sliced or chopped. It makes for a great tasting sandwich that doesn't need much sauce at all. Although the sauce is pretty darn good they get 5 stars for not needing it.
