    Great spot for late-ish dinner and drinks or weekend brunch. Get the BLP (a BLT but with Pimento Cheese), you won't be disappointed! If the weather is nice sit out on the deck.

    This stylish new Southern cafe serves a very fine sandwich made with toasted sourdough bread and light, creamy pimento cheese. It's like if sharp cheddar and fancy French mayo had a cheese baby.

    The fish sandwich is lovely, and if you're lucky enough for the special to be steamers -- order them as an appetizer! All around delicious meal, and wonderful atmosphere.

    highly recommend the kale, hushpuppies dipped in honey butter, and the delightfully refreshing john daly cocktail. ask about the "dirty bird" (off the secret menu) and if possible sit in the backyard!

    Try the fried chicken sandwich—fowl soaked in jalapeño-spiked buttermilk, fried to order & served in a Caputo’s bun with crunchy red cabbage–cilantro slaw. It’s 1 of our #100best dishes & drinks 2011. Read more

    Fried chicken sandwich is killer (and large). Use generous amounts of house vinegar. Bake beans and pimms cup are nice twists on old faves. Small but excellent rye, bourbon and beer selection.

    Southern sandwiches, fried chicken, and easy drinking cocktails with a nice outdoor patio. Closed Mondays.

    North Carolina-style pulled pork BBQ done right. Or at least as right as I've ever seen it done north of the Mason-Dixon line. Also be sure to try the hush puppies and Brunswick stew.

    Attention pimento/fried chicken sandwich lovers: Van Horn dropped the sammies from the menu, it's not just other delicious southern dinner foods. Now you know.

    Great fish sandwich, great beer on tap and awesome crust on the pie. Now on my list of frequent eats in the hood. (Just not cheap!)

    You can't go wrong with either the chicken or fish sandwich and a side of greens. A strong cocktail and killer brunch help too.

    The fish sandwich, shrimp po boy, hush puppies and Mac and cheese make for an indulgent and awesome meal. A pint of unsweetened ice tea wraps up the spread perfectly.

    Amazing fish sandwich, very light, delicious tomato soup, pulled pork sandwich, baked beans! Skip the mac and cheese though. And no coffee or dessert yet (they're working on it).

    The catfish and chicken sandwiches here rate high on the flavor/satisfaction scale. In good weather, there's a pleasant outdoor space.

    BLT is delish, because the Pullman loaf is as fresh as DJ Jazzy Jeff's prince. Tomato fresh in Jan. too! If u need salad because you're getting fat, get the chix salad, tho it's slightly unhealthy.

    Local bacon, meat, and cheeses are packed with downhome flavor thanks to comfort fare recipes sourced straight from the south.

    Fried fish sandwich was amazing, brussel sprouts salad was really good, mac & cheese was ok - sit outside if you can!

    The sweet PLT here is amazing! You must try it with the house made hot sauce. Skip the mac n cheese. Doodling on the table is a fun way to wait.

    The Sweet PLT is delicious, just be aware that the "smoked sweet potato" is sweet potato chips on your sandwich.

    There's a reason you see a lot of chicken sandwiches go by. Follow that instinct. And for something different, the PLT. You just need to try it.

    A delicious southern style sandwich shop. The fish is unbelievable as is the stew. And Jacob is lovely!

    Pork or fried chicken, grab the spicy vinegar. Full bar which you probably never wanted w/ a sandwich, but a shot of bourbon can't hurt

    chicken sandwich is to die for. be sure to ask for the homemade ranch sauce on the side.

    I always come for the chicken salad, which is INSANE, but the trout salad is delish too!!

    Chicken salad is better than chicken sandwich. Also bring a sweater in the winter..they don't believe in heat.

    The Fried Chicken sandwich is juicy, crispy, and full of flavor! Add the jalapeno infused vinegar to your sandwich before you bite in! (No AMEX)

    Pork sandwich is insane. Be sure to ask them for vinegar, it really makes the whole thing come together.
