★★★★★ 5.0 kim coley · Nov 2025

We had lunch at the roof on a beautiful clear November day. The staff was very professional and friendly. They welcomed us and sat us by the window with a beautiful view. My husband ordered the pulled pork sandwich and I had shrimp and grits. My husband is from Tennessee so the fact that he was pleased with his pulled pork sandwich and seasoned fries is it a true compliment. Shrimp and grits is one of my favorite entrees and this one did not disappoint. Tons of large shrimp and flavorful andouille sausage. They did not skimp on the protein! Prices for reasonable, and we would definitely return.

Super cute rooftop deck with drinks and food. Can't beat the view when you are having a drink. Very casual atmosphere. Fried Green Tomatoes were awesome. Thanks to our great server, Taylor!

Had a wonderful dining experience, and a big part of that was thanks to the waitress, Allie. She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. She checked in at just the right times, made great recommendations, and made sure everything came out perfectly. Her positive attitude and professionalism really stood out and made the whole meal even more enjoyable. Excellent service like this is rare, and Allie truly made the visit memorable. Highly recommend!

Our bartender Keifer was awesome. The drinks were absolutely amazing and fresh. The shrimp cakes were also delicious. We will have to come back for a full meal.

Went for sunday dinner. Talk about fast service! There is an elevator to get upstairs or ... stairs lol. The view was gorgeous! Indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered the chicken sandwich, my husband got the smoked gouda mac and cheese and my oldest son got the pulled pork.
