    Great restaurant for good home cooking. I had a side of collard greens with turkey. It had the right amount of spices. I had a side of candied yams that my wife couldn’t stop eating. It was mine but she helped herself to the yams. I also had blackened chicken with waffles,The complete meal was delicious.

    Food was really good atmosphere was funky and cool. Little loud but not overly. Server was sweet but really slow - she was social and spent a lot of time talking with other staff so that was disappointing Still great spot to come in and eat!

    First time visiting and I was very pleased with the food! Didn’t like that we have to pay a deposit to reserve a table for 2 people but other than that everything else was good!

    My experience at this place was great. This was my second time here and the food was good, the drinks were great and I didn’t have to wait too long to be seated. The only thing I have that’s negative to say is that there desert menu wasn’t all that. But overall this place is a must try
