I really enjoyed the service and the food. The fried catfish, mac and cheese were really good. My homegirl got the black eye peas and she said that were really good as well. Drinks are high however that's expected for the area it is in. Dennis my server was really knowledgeable about the menu and what to try.

Our steaks were absolutely delicious! Our server, Tyler, was attentive and helpful with our menu questions. It was a little bit noisy near the bar but the food more than makes up for it!
