The servers delight in sharing the absolute joy this kitchen dishes up for every diner in that room. The servers all smile the knowing smile of someone who has seen hundreds of super satisfied customers with even happier bellies. So now to the food. My wife got the pulled pork sandwich and offered me half. I took a bite and gallantly handed it back before my tongue got the message back to the rest of me on just how great that sandwich was - otherwise, I would have likely had a real internal struggle to give any of her dinner back. The barbecue sauce was tangy and warm, the pork, delectable and the coleslaw layer, cool, crisp and punchy. This sandwich was the prince of pulled pork! The French fries it came with took me back 50 years to being a kid and knowing what a French fry was supposed to taste like - real potatoes that someone had peeled fresh, crinkle cut and used fresh oil to fry to perfection. Wow. We ordered a seven piece chicken with a side of fried okra. The chicken was superb. As you bit into it, there was a crack from the batter like a tree branch breaking in two. That batter was cooked to absolute perfection. The chicken itself was cooked nicely and slid right off the bone with no tooth wrestling needed. The okra was nicely fried, but the real treat was how the tang of the okra came shining through like it was being eaten whole - the flavor didnt get lost in a thick batter or too long a fry. We also ordered the St. Louis ribs and man, they were also deee-lishous. Well balanced between sweet and tangy, a super platter with some lovely mac and cheese and collard greens for accompaniment. We tried a few of their specialty lemonade flavors. They were nice, but not the highlight in this menu full of superstars. We all had happy but super full bellies, so the peach cobbler and the banana pudding we took home will need to wait for the morning for them to get evaluated. Given the rest of our experience, I'm not going to lose money betting against this place! I met the owner, a solid honest, look you in the eye type of fellow. You could tell two things about him right away: 1. He's a man who has a great deal of pride to have this restaurant and it's fine food to share with the world. 2. This is not an easy business, but he doesn't mind, because he just knows his food is high art in a soul food world made up of many poimitations. Go give these fine folks a try. I am most sure you will leave just like me - searching for words that just don't exist to describe how good this food really is. Thank you Kinfolk, and like another reviewer said, I will be dreaming of this food until I figure a way back to your shop.

Plenty of locals coming in and out. We ordered breakfast. The catfish was seasoned very well. Not a fan of the Cajun sauce for the fish. The grits were cooked just right, not too thick or watery. The Georgia sausage was so good. The added bonus a bakery next door. I don't even like desserts, but they looked so good. The room was decorated beautifully. We ordered a 1/2 dozen cupcakes for Mother's Day. My only complaints are we had ask for a spoon for coffee. She brought me an uncovered stirrer with her hand. We didn't get offered water. We asked for coffee refills and never got them. The bathroom was hot and could have been a little cleaner. The floor was slippery, and didn't smell as clean as the rest of the restaurant. Overall... it was a good experience. I would try them again.

We've been 4 times, all dining in except today we got the Pastrami Sandwich to go to see what the…read morehype was all about since they've been promoting since NYC Subs recently opened a few doors down with a claim to have New York Style pastrami. We tried to go here 1st but unfortunately they are closed on Sundays This is one of those, should have asked for the price first moments. But it's just a sandwich right, so we didn't. Well when they brought our to go order and we realized it the sandwich was $22.00 was certainly a bit surprised. And they just assumed we would pay with a card; which we didn't do tacked on a 3% service fee, ok. We still were hopeful that it would still be worth it but when we got home we were not impressed by the amount of pastrami at all. The FLAVOR was very good but scores low on the value category. You would pay the same price at the legendary Katz Deli in NYC, BUT the difference is Katz literally loads nearly a pound of pastrami on each sandwich. But the major complaint is the service. The wait staff are a bit impatient and always have this I haven't had a cigarette in an hour so can you hurry up expression. As well a pushy. Totally get up selling as I got a Degree in Hotel Restaurant Management, but it's done in a far less polished manner. But the food flavor has always been excellent, just a bit pricey, even in this higher inflation time.

I recently had a disappointing experience when they changed their French fries, but I'm happy to say they've brought the original fries back and me too! Thank you so much. The crispy, delicious, unbreaded fries are back, and honestly, they make a big difference. I'm not a huge fan of sliced pork (I prefer pulled pork), but theirs is definitely palatable and have some flavor and moistir. Between the Southern atmosphere, local feel, and those delicious fries, I'm glad to be able to give them 4 stars again. It's nice to see a local restaurant listen to its customers and bring back something people clearly loved!

The waitress was going to other tables refilling coffee, before we had a menu or our 1st cup of coffee. The food was fair. My husband ordered biscuits & gravy. He got that plus eggs & bacon & toast. He questioned it & was told he order that. Which he did not. Apparently the eggs come with a different type of biscuit & gravy order??? The gravy was gummy & had a slight film on it like it was plated before the eggs were done & left to sit ? IDK? I had a feta omelette. It was cold & the toast came out a few minutes after the omelette. The server seemed like she was super new & had not a clue as she had no type of rhythm that you usually see in restaurant staff. After seeing her filling coffee cups when we first got there, she never asked us if we wanted more the place is decorated nicely & was clean. We might give it another shot after I read other reviews in the future. But again , sadly, it just wasn't worth us going back.
