I still remember the days when they only accepted cash, but now that they accept cards, tap pay, and you can even order online, as busy as it always is, I never have a problem with parking. Customer service is good as well. It is kind of nostalgic. They accept call-in orders as well.   I love their prime rib sandwich and french fries. It is a hefty sandwich with great flavor and comes on french bread with lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise. The fries are served fresh and hot. They are good and not overly salted. I tried something new most recently, the cajun chicken filet sandwich. I was kind of nervous, as I am particular when it comes to chicken sandwiches. That sandwich was so good. It comes with bacon and Monterrey cheese. I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was. The fries were seasoned and referenced by cajun. They were good, just like their regular fries. Pretty much they have something for everyone, and you cannot go wrong.

Its really worth a visit, parking was no issue on a Saturday afternoon.

We were fortunate to get two tables together in the hallway. I can see where it can get crowded over lunch time as the line continually was growing with people getting their food and taking a seat in the hallway. They have quite a few of tables with four chairs/table. Most of us ordered the Italian Subs with chips or potato salad as a side. Service was great. Speed was fantastic. I think all seven of us had our food brought out to us within about 7 minutes or so. Several of us thought that the Subs weren't heated as much as they could be. One complaint was that his pickle was limp. The top of the bun was warm but the cheese and meats on the inside were not warm at all (or the bottom of the bun). The potato salad was very good. They have soft drinks via the machine with ice and also Tea. The ingredients were fresh and everything good. I think seating could be a problem on some days and we wished the sandwiches were toasted more than what they were. On a scale of 10 we would rate it as a 7.3 on the ROMEO scale...Yelp scale we'll give it a 4.0

Lately the service has been great, but the food has been falling short. Over the last three visits, food has not been up to par. One dish, the rice was cold, the next the chicken was cooked to death. This last meal left me looking at the plate wondering where the rest of my meal was. Over seasoning has been a problem. I will say, the chef here has talent. I'm not sure what's going on, but we are going to give this restaurant a break for a while.

Nestled in a set of historic homes on a quiet street (with free street parking!), the restaurant itself is so adorable and creates such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff is so kind and personable, you always feel like you're being fed at your grandma's house when you go in! I truly believe there is not a single dish from them that is nothing short of phenomenal. Today we had their specials consisting of shrimp and grits, chicken skin & hot sauce deviled eggs, along with a cup of the cauliflower parm soup. We also got their hot honey pimento cheese but they have that every day! Everything was amazing of course, and I find it so impressive how the chef & team is able to come up with such unique and delicious dishes every single week. Don't even get me started on their desserts. Everything they bake is delicious, but they've recently revamped their mocha tiramisu creme pie and I'm unhealthily addicted to it. I've had it on 3 separate occasions in the last week and every time I have gone, I have to order more than one! I really really hope they keep that creme pie in the rotation for a while or at least bring it back soon once it's done, because I don't think I'll be able to recover otherwise.
