    The server Sloan was amazing . It was his birthday and he suggested a sandwich which was a special boneless rib with white and normal bbq sauce. Everyone was super happy with their food.

    This is my second visit. I enjoy the location and food. Our server was great - he helped us with substitutions. In addition he gave us the history of the building and area. I was a bit disappointed that the fried green tomatoes had too much breading - I'm used to panko and delicate. The onion rings were super. We were sorry to be too full for dessert.
