The wait staff that served our table was simply one of the best I've seen in the industry. She was incredibly attentive and her work ethic showed attention to details. She was kind and generous. Always checked to insure our glasses were full and keep us abreast of our food readiness. When it was time for dessert she did not hesitate to get our request out quickly.

This trip was no different. We had a large group of 16 and it started there. Was told a 2hr wait. If we split in to groups of 8 we'd be seated in 45. Took this option. Actually got seated in about 25 minutes seperately. (A table of 8 that was right next to us was vacant and NEVER got used for the entire 90 minutes or so that we stayed at the restaurant so why not accommodate our group? - strike one) Our waitress I'm told was very chippy with an attitude toward some party members. (I didnt get any attitude toward me) but heard a few people stating how she was answering people's requests and how unpleasant she was. - Strike two. The food. I ordered the meatloaf nachos (which were good). I also ordered the fried pork chops w/ side salad. Loading up on fake bacon bits (like 1000 pieces) doesnt make the salad better. This is a hint to their kitchen. The pork chops were dry and the "red skinned" mash potatoes" (which I do not remember the menu stating that they were red skinned potatoes which would mean SKIN would be present in the mash. Otherwise I would not have ordered this. ALSO, their baked beans.......this was the worst part of the meal. I am expecting some version of beans with a bbq base or similar...instead I got some sort of bean SOUP which was totally inedible in my opinion. Whole meal was trash. Strike three. My 83 year old father said at the end of the meal "worst meal I've ever had". Which I had him repeat to the table just in case anyone thought it was just me. $700 with tip for the quality is a bit much. I will never ever return no matter what my siblings say.

The service and members working there are so nice and personable. There was no "menu", just a whiteboard with what they had. No prices to be seen (ended up paying $17 for fried chicken, yams, Mac and cheese, greens, cornbread and sweet tea!). And honestly I am ok with that! They had oxtails while I was there (I didn't get them) but a large amount of people came in because they heard that they had them today so that says something. Good size portions, with great homemade flavor from the greens to the cornbread. Now, the outside and inside are not the best, definitely a hole in the wall spot. The food is so worth it!
