Paul Sanwald: Fried okra is excellent! Quinoa salad is very good, as was edamame salad. Goat cheese appetizer was way too sweet.
Elizabeth Lightbody: Fast and tasty. The fried okra is a must and always choose the honey dressing. 😛
Kyle Kazoo: I have never had a bad or mediocre meal here. They start you off with a warm biscuit paired with real blueberry jam and honey...delicious!

Chad Parker: Service, Atmosphere, & wine selection are excellent, great for that special occasion.
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.
