The fried chicken is amazing with a touch of honey glaze on top. If you sit at the bar, you don't have to pay the $5 entertainment fee.

I had the deviled eggs to start then pulled pork with baked beans as the side. The mapled bacon on and pickle juice in the eggs, and the molasses in the beans reminded me of my grandmother’s cooking.

Had the deviled eggs (candied bacon), chopped beef with sweet potato fries (sprinkled with cinnamon & sugar) and baked beans(molasses). Every bite was fantastic and the music was fantastic!

Try the chicken, salad with house dressing, and fried green tomatoes! The fried green tomato BLT was phenomenal. We had lunch, so I'm not sure about dinner, but highly recommend it.

The love music was wonderful! The lady who sings with the band jammed all night. The pulled pork is good but the fried chicken and Mac and cheese is to die for!

Table of 6 with 6 different orders. Everything was delicious- I had the étouffée and it was a great portion and tasted fabulous. And the music made the atmosphere even better.

Mac n cheese, banana pudding and catfish and grits were all out of this world! Great service too.

Got our full of grits, fried green tomatoes, and catfish. Peach martini reminded us that we weren't in New England anymore. Insist on reservations, even if they tell you they're not busy!

If you want to get tipsy, get the Harpo Punch :-). The best meal for its value is the fried chicken. I was stuffed!

Grilled porkchop and mashed potatoes are delish. Salmon is great too.. Make sure you realize there is a $5 fee per person during live music

Sunday brunch is a must! 5 of us went and there was much-coveting of one another's plates. Great tunes, too.
Lindsay WilliamsOctober 5, 2016
The peach cobbler is really good. However, the lunch time hostess and serving staff were very unfriendly. It was as if we were bothering them by coming into the restaurant!
Faith LegendreMarch 22, 2013
Love the live music! Came from NYC. Reminds me of Groove NYC. Friendly welcoming service!
Kish ThomasNovember 15, 2013

Make sure you check out the shrimp and grits here . They are great. You may want to reserve yourself from the rib dinner.

Fried chicken is amazing! Ask for a side of the white gravy to dip your chicken, and it will be even more amazing!

Fried chicken is awesome, but be ready to pay for it the next day. Has about 2weeks worth of calories!!!!
