"This restaurant was definitely very good, but I had higher expectations considering the reviews and the type of restaurant it’s portrayed to be. The best things were our appetizers. First, the bread was crispy and hot, and the butter was well seasoned and definitely tasted homemade. Our favorite was the fried macaroni and cheese! The bacon jam was delicious, the peppers gave it a nice spiciness, and the combination of ingredients worked so well. The fried green tomatoes were also a hit and were nice and crispy with good flavor. The other foods were just fine. The shrimp and sausage with grits was good, but SO heavy, and the sauce was oily. Probably one of my least favorite shrimp and grits dishes I’ve had. The flounder was perfectly cooked but it and and the vegetables were very unseasoned. Another reason for the 4 stars is the service, which was average at best. Our server was fine, but everything was very slow. We waited a while for even the appetizers to come out, had minimal check ins, and then had noticeable wait times when asking for the bill, paying, etc. It didn’t seem like they had low staff, so I’m not sure why this was. There were a couple of other extremely minor things we noticed (no pen or original receipt included when we received our card back, no one thanking us on our way out) that really don’t make or break an experience but considering the quality of restaurant, were a little off."

"All the food was fantastic! The fried green tomatoes were perfectly crispy and savory. The fried chicken and pimento cheese sandwich was tasty and comes with your choice of side. The scallops were cooked perfectly and came with a huge serving of rich, bacon-cream sauce. Service was great and the food came out so fast"

"The food was outstanding and Lia was such a kind spirit and very knowledgeable of the menu and helpful as well! We ordered the pimento cheese, fried green tomatoes, the fried chicken entree and the bouillabaisse entree. Everything we ordered was perfect and flavorful with a nice presentation. Don’t skip dessert either! This is definitely my favorite dining experience in Charleston!"

"Classy restaurant for dine in with some Southern options. We enjoyed the food very much. The corn served on the side of fried chicken was the most delicious thing on the table for me. lol. It’s weird, but the side dish impressed me the most. Service was ok. We were seated without a reservation- thank you! We felt the waitress expected a smaller tip given we look South Asian, thus we felt treated a little differently compared to our neighboring tables! I hope I was wrong about how it felt though. (She still got a good tip from me. I have been in the service industry long enough- I know how it goes!) Interior is beautiful!! Classy, dim light, fairly nice and well decorated. Makes for a good date night spot or family get together restaurant. Good experience, overall. Thank you!"

"Southern restaurant with delicious food. The fried green tomato appetizer had a super crisp outside, the tomato itself still had a bite to it and the chutney relish was tangy and delicious. Deviled eggs also very good, hard to go wrong with a deviled egg but this one was very good. The bread service is homemade bread and was warm and crispy, yumm. For mains we had the special fried catfish another hit. Batter was crunchy and the fish was tender and perfectly cooked. , red rice was great and green beans were crisp and brought some freshness to an otherwise heavy dish. The bacon was unnecessary for me as I liked the freshness of the beans and didn’t need that addition. The other main we tried was the blackened catfish. A very different preparation than the special, lightly battered and a little thicker cut. Fish was perfectly cooked and went well with the accompaniments. Every bite we had was great. There were so many other items on the menu we wanted to try we will definitely be back. They have two seating areas, the main area in the front with the bar and a second dining room in the back. Unfortunately we were seated in the back dining room which is banquet hallish. If you can, try to sit in the front room, it has charm and windows and is much more inviting."
