Friendly knowledgeable server. Had to wait just a bit for the tab but overall very good service. The gluten free chicken was outstanding and the shrimp and grits were well above average but just 30 seconds too much cook on the shrimp for me but great flavored sauce. The collards had half a pigs worth of smoked hock in them and an amazing peppery but smooth pot liquor. Sprouts were very good and also spicy a bit sweet for me but wife loved em. Had. Nice ipa but didn’t get to try their large selection of bourbons. Will be back to these for sure.
