    Fried Green Tomatoes
    Kyle W.

    Cool and cozy spot! Was visiting Savannah and happened to hit this place for a "hangover lunch" and it did the trick! Ordered the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer and they were absolutely delicious. Best I've had for sure. Fried perfectly and great flavor. The goat cheese garnish and aioli (forget which kind) were the perfect additions. Kept it simple and ordered their wings as the main course; they weren't anything special, but were tasty for sure. The bartender was very attentive and made a very good Paloma (more drinking offsets hangovers ). Would give this place a 4.5 if possible. They had other menu items I was intrigued by so I would definitely revisit!

    Don't try.

    They ran out of cheese bits and the waiter was all over the place. Needless to say this is a place I will not come to again !!! The service sucks. The collard greens and bacon dip is a miss. The rum punch was more juice than rum. man this place is not what we (black folk ) thought it was gonna

    The food was good. I enjoyed my breakfast. My husband said it's ok. The kids enjoyed their pancakes. The restaurant is clean and super cute. The server was attentive. All in all, I would eat here again.

    Great service, food and dessert. The drinks however were painfully small. Tasty but a margarita in a small rock glass for $10 was a disappointment. Our server was very attentive. We went in early evening on Easter because we had called for a reservation at 11 and were told they were full up but we could walk in subject to a wait. When we arrived we were the only table‍ And the bar was closed off. A couple of tables arrived while we ate but definitely not a full service. Weird. The fried chicken with mashed potatoes was great. A side of broccoli coke slaw accompanied the plate. Pecan chicken salad and Mac and cheese were sampled and pimento cheese with chips was our appetizer. Everything was good but service was so slow. At least a half hour for our appetizer, 20 minutes for our drinks and the meals were served within 5 minutes of the appetizer. We took brownies and ice cream to go as the portions were quite substantial. The brownie and Ice cream is very good. The atmosphere is more like a diner or coffee shop and as far as decor, it's pretty basic. The restaurant was clean, our server was good and the food was delicious but the timing definitely needs work. But you will not be sorry with the food if that's your main goal.

    Great food. I tried the Hot Chicken Sandwich, and it was delicious. Just the right amount of heat. Three tenders were deep-fried and coated with a bbq sauce and hot honey. The Texas toast was dry, but I didn't care because I never eat the bread on my sandwiches. The slaw and pimento cheese were pretty good as well. We also ordered Brussels sprouts, and I personally did not like them. They were way too bitter. They needed something sweet to tone down the bitterness of the Brussels sprouts. However, the truffle fries that my friend ordered with her burger were delicious. I almost forgot I also ordered the collard greens, and they were delicious. Not my momma but good for a restaurant. She would never have that many stems in her greens, but I was okay with it because they seasoned them well. We also ordered the chicken wrap, and it was very refreshing. I can't forget the burger. I didn't try it but I can say it was juicy and looked good. My friend had juice running down her hands when she took the 1st bite. We enjoyed our meal and loved their new spot in Sandfly.

We arrived around 12:30pm on a Friday and it was busy but they had plenty of seating that we were able to get a table right away. For our appetizer we settled on the firecracker shrimp. When we got them they were nice and warm! The sauces drizzled over the top was a nice touch and added to the flavor. When deciding how we wanted our Baja fish tacos cooked we settled on blackened. We had never had it this way and our waitress recommended it. We loved how the blackened fish gave the tacos another set of flavor to an already flavorful meal. The coleslaw was very good! You could have added it to the top of your tacos or just eat it with a fork, you really couldn't go wrong. Overall our dining experience was really good! It was fun to look around and see the display of local artists' artwork hanging on the walls. Everyone was very warm and welcoming. Highly recommend this place if you also want a light lunch with a laid back atmosphere!

It does get busy, so be prepared for a bit of a wait at peak times, and the outdoor seating is pretty straightforward (right along the sidewalk), but don't let that deter you. Once the food hits the table, none of that really matters. The tuna tower appetizer is absolutely the way to start. That said, you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything I've had has been flavorful, well-prepared, and clearly made with quality ingredients. And do not skip the drinks, specifically the pear margarita. Get one... or just go ahead and get two. It's that good and pairs perfectly with the seafood. Bottom line: it may not be fancy and it may be a little crowded, but if you care about great seafood and solid drinks, this place is worth becoming a regular

    Absolutely incredible lunch today…read more The outside area is huge and most of the spots have shade. We brought our pup and the staff was very quick with the dog bowl full of water which was nice. There were a few dogs and the area is so large that they can be spaced apart from each other. My wife and I got a few apps and the Mac and cheese. Tuna tower was great, loaded with raw tuna, very crispy wanton, just awesome. For the tuna bites I was expecting it to be 5 or 6 but it was at least 15 bites and a decent size salad under it - it could easily be an entree for some. My wife, a big fan of crab cakes in general, said these were the best shes had in Savannah since we moved here 2 years ago - very high praise! The Mac and cheese was ok, perfectly fine but didnt shine like the 3 apps. Cannot wait to come back and try one of their 15+ other seafood items that looked great as well
