    Catfish was de-lish. Cozy and busy little spot! They were out of red velvet cake, but the coconut cake did not disappoint. Will go back to try and catch that red velvet!

    My fave fried chicken and greens in Seattle. Red velvet cake the size of your face! Crab cakes to die for. And amazing photography, family memorabilia and decors.

    Very delicious, but only one or two sides are vegan friendly. Most everything has meat or is made with butter.

    Brunch is awesome. Order the Fried Chicken and Waffle.For dinner, order a side of cornbread. It comes with a delicious jalapeno chutney.

    Cajun food rarely has veal, but this place has some of the best I've had. Definitely try it

    Dessert portions were huge! 7 of us shared a slice of cake--and were all able to cut a slice out of the slice.

    if I can only eat one food for the rest of my life, it will be an easy choice — Kingfish's cornbread!

    The chicken grits and gravy dish is a must have entree! Kingfish is one of my favorite breakfast restaurants. Great southern style cuisine!

    The pork chop is amazing, and they serve pieces of cake the size of small children. Go with Red Velvet.
