We came on Sunday brunch where we were told they use all of the ingredients from the week so nothing goes to waste and they create a new menu each Sunday to do this. I loved this ethos. We had crispy pork belly with celeriac purée and golden pickled beetroot and the chicken salad sandwich with potato hash. A little one had a lemon blueberry waffle, which I tried, and it was outstanding as well.. When I asked for a children's money if they did not have one, but they were incredibly accommodating and they said they can make us anything we want and gave us some examples! Also, while we were waiting for our food to come, they brought us some children's toys for our little one to play with, which was much appreciated. Love the ambience and the vibe of this place, has a very friendly and homegrown feel in the best way possible!

We had a brief interaction with him on our visit and he was so nice but it was as we were leaving. It's tiny and crowded and that's okay! But the servers are constantly being snotty brats at you for like, bothering to exist. We sat outside and everyone waiting was leaning with their butts pressed on our table. The food sounded better than it tasted but it wasn't bad. I just wasn't blown away. But honestly the girls working there were SO RUDE that I haven't been able to go back even though I want to give it a second chance. We waited for a while to pay but they didn't come back, and so many people were waiting, we went inside to let them run our card. Well, two of them screamed at us for "crowding" the space and then yanked the card out of my husband's hand and told him to go wait outside and chastised us for not staying out until they bothered to come. lol. Sorry for trying to pay. I wish we hadn't.

The service is superb, warm and inviting what you would expect from a southern style restaurant and very clean. The hot bard was always clean and fully stocked.

Some more of my favorites was the fried okra, wieners and sauerkraut, meatballs (specially seasoned) boiled cabbage, pasta salad, corn bread, banana pudding ( the best I have had in a long time} peach cobbler mmmmmm and they kept the cobbler and fresh cookies on a hot plate to keep them warm. What restaurant does that besides this one!? By the way the salad bar was well kept also.

They come by often to ask if you need another dish. Only thing I did not care for was nanner pudd'n was dish of soggy Vanilla wafers about a tablespoon pudding & could only find 2 slices of banana. Will not order that again. They do cornbread the right way NO sugar. That's how I grew up eating cornbread & I love it. My Dad is from Virginia he said if it has sugar it's corn cake not corn bread.

This last time I had the special of fried chicken with a jalapeño gravy, we shared an order of the homemade potato chips that come with a chipotle ranch dip, and he had the Shrimp and grits with a mimosa. I am reluctant to leave this review because I find it is just a hidden charm that people don't know about yet and I hate for it to get too too busy, but I also want to see them succeed with these Sunday branches because they're so wonderful. Our waitress, Miranda always comes with a smile and pleasant feedback on our food orders like what we might like or not so we really appreciate that. Update: Today we had Alysha as our waitress and seriously they're all so accommodating and pleasant! Seating indoor or outside patio - enjoy that fresh air. Go for the food go for the view or go for the Pleasant atmosphere, but it's all a 10 out of 10!

I ordered the Low Country Boil "88 Special," medium spice, but what I received was extremely hot and far spicier than requested. Makaya kindly offered to have it remade, telling me it would only take a few minutes. What I did NOT expect was for the cook to simply rinse off my original food and rebag it. I knew immediately what happened because the flavor was watered down, and the same crab leg I had already cracked open came back in the new bag. Completely unacceptable. I will NOT be returning. If this is their standard practice, I'm genuinely concerned about the integrity of the kitchen. A health inspection needs to take place ASAP.

Each oyster has a beautiful deep shell filled with clean, briny liquor that captures the true taste of the ocean. The flavor is perfectly balanced with a crisp saltiness followed by a smooth, slightly sweet finish that makes you want another one immediately.

Irish Point oysters deliver a fresh, refined seafood experience and are easily some of the best oysters you can have. Highly recommended.

There was a server change at one point, and the new server was not careful when delivering the food and spilled the gumbo upon arrival.
