Raleigh Happening: Absolutely one of the best restaurants in Raleigh. Their brunch menu is amazing - go for their biscuits and gravy, pork Madame, chicken Mac and cheese, and shrimp and grits!
Eric Friedman: The fried chicken and waffles is delicious. It's comfort food fancied up with the ambiance of the restaurant and gourmet syrup. Good for splitting as there's a huge portion.
The News & Observer: You certainly won’t forget the soul food classic, chicken and waffles: an exquisitely juicy breast with a shatter-crisp crust and a buckwheat waffle with braised mustard greens. Read more.
