Visited for my 1st time the other day wiyh some co-workers. Pros - parking, mac n cheese was amazing, grits full of flavor, fried green tomatoes were just right Cons - service was very unattentive, ribs were cold...had to send them back to het heated. Mgmnt never checked to see if yhey were any better, food took longer than an avg restaurant does. I will go back for the mac-n-cheese, but only if Im in the area. 

Business response:

Thanks for sharing your review with us, Troy. We're happy to hear you enjoyed the mac - n cheese! We look forward to sharing an even more positive experience with you in the future. Have a lovely day!

The Mac n' Cheese was very good and I also enjoyed the corn bread. The reason I could not give this five stars was because four of us ordered the fried chicken & three ordered it with the fresh cut fries. When our food was delivered, my portion of fries was like half of what the other two received. I also had much smaller pieces of chicken. One "piece" was what appeared to be a small piece from part of a chicken breast. The difference in proportions was noticeable to all of us.

Business response:

Thanks for commenting Rhonda. Just want to assure you that we don't make our portions based on men/women. You getting a smaller portion is odd, but it happens. In the future please don't hesitate to point it out to your server or the manager. We don't want anyone gong home hungry or feeling slighted. We hope to see you again soon!
