Customer Reviews
Me and my bf went on a date here. I previously went with my mom and had no bad experiences. This time we had a server named Beth and she was very unprofessional. She greeted us like she was in a hurry and no couth at all. We received our food and she didn't check on us until the end of our meal. With me giving her the benefit of the doubt I assumed it was because she didn't think we would tip because we are young. I'm a college student and we work/ spent our hard owned money at this establishment but felt very unwelcomed the same breath. We finished our water and she didn't offer us any refills until after we finished our meal. Also came in a hurry saying she had a few tables but we came before they closed so it really wasn't a lot (a big portion of people were leaving. When we paid she wa
I ordered the chicken and velvet waffles, which came out hot and fresh. The waffles were soft and cooked perfectly—I didn’t even need syrup. The chicken was well-seasoned and very filling. My friend had the turkey chops with mac and cheese and sweet potatoes. The turkey chops were perfectly crisp and delicious. The mac and cheese was good, though the sweet potatoes were slightly undercooked. Overall, this was a great choice. There was no wait time, and the food came out quickly. Would definitely return.
My best friend and I were unable to make a reservation prior to our trip to Atlantic City. However, we were offered a chance to sit at the bar, which ended up being no wait at all. We arrived just before the live music but the radio tunes overall were nostalgic. The server was very friendly and personable. There wasn't a long wait for the food at all. My best friend and I both ordered the catfish nuggets. She got potato salad and yams as sides; I chose the macaroni and cheese and collard greens. It was hard for me to pinpoint what was the best part of the meal. The collard greens reminded me of the delicious greens my late grandpa would cook from his garden. The catfish was on par with what I tasted from my Southern roots. The cornbread and the yams I tasted from my best friend brought
We really wanted to enjoy the brunch, but unfortunately we were disappointed. The red velvet and sweet potato waffles are good; you get 2 pieces per plate (they are not on the buffet tables; the server brings them). The mac and cheese wasn't good at all. It was oily and the cheese used was separating - not a good flavor. The pot roast had good flavor but was a bit tough. The shrimp & sauce for the the shrimp n grits was good. The grits were a bit runny. For the price ($45+ per person) I would suggest having more selections available. The music was great. Not much other ambience in the restaurant during brunch.
The food was so good. I got the Chicken & Red Velvet Waffles. This is the first time I felt like I had more chicken than waffles, because the wings were a really good size. Both were delicious. I was thinking about those soft waffles with that cream cheese frosting for the rest of the night. I ain't even lying. My dad got the Pork Ribs entree; my mama got the Cat Fish & Shrimp entree. They both thoroughly enjoyed their food. As a matter of fact, my mama tried to get me to ask my dad for his leftovers and he JUST said (as I was typing this) "Yeah, I'm glad you didn't ask, cause I woulda had to tell you no." 😂 So that should tell you something! Also, I tried the catfish and know it was good. My only issue was my mama's side of yams and my dad's side of potato salad were sooooo so small. You
