Pappardelle pasta with shrimp and a hazelnut pesto sauce
Megan H.

Last minute dinner turned into a wonderful experience. We've been here before but each time we come there is a special and it never ceases to amaze me. We' got the pappardelle pasta with hazelnut pesto and ruby red shrimp. It was delicious and a generous portion. We also got the hamburger steak that never fails, it's always so tender and flavorful. You can tell they take pride in quality ingredients therefore prices reflect that but worth every penny!Always a good experience here with great service.

Shrimp and grits

Friendly staff, good drinks, warm atmosphere, and excellent flavors. Modern takes on southern classics. I recommend the roasted sweet potatoes.

The service was timely and smooth. The vibe was ok it felt like we were opening the place so no music or background noise but TV were on. They have a beautiful facility with a upstairs private section in all white. The downstairs is all black. There is a setup of beverage of twa, lemonade and water that is automatic at $2.50 called VIP. I ordered pork chops with 2 sides, spaghetti, northern beans and cornbread for 19.99. The portion size was good. The spaghetti was sweet. Beans were salty but good. But the star of the dish was just that, the star! Them pork chops were perfect. Pot roast was good and turkey necks were huge! Overall a great spot for good food. Most dishes were $17-19 with 2 sides, overall meal $24! Not bad at all and closed in parking lot.

As per usual, I forgot pics - but imagine your grandma's cooking during a summer harvest from her…read moreown garden. A perfect meat and three. Everything was delicious. I had the veggie plate with butter beans (they were a bit sweet and limas, not true butter beans), fried squash (the slice it long ways and hand batter), spinach mashed potatoes, and deviled eggs (delicious, no notes). I tried both hush puppies and a roll. Personally, the hush puppies weren't my favorite, but the roll was buttery goodness:). Most importantly, I asked our server at the beginning if they still had chocolate cobbler and if they were running low to go ahead and bring it out. At first they had plenty, but a few minutes later cobbler was in front of me because she noticed it was running low. So dessert first! Don't mind if I do:) it was warm, gooey, and delicious. Others in my group had the chicken fried steak, and chicken tenders. Everyone was very happy with their meals! Service was great, though the kitchen was a little slow. It took about 30 mins to get our meals. Fun, old timey atmosphere - great service - and delicious home cooking. Will definitely be back.

As soon as you're seated, you'll have a tempting signboard presented at your table with every southern classic you can imagine. With entrees like fried chicken and catfish, endless sides like turnip greens, white beans, and just about anything you can imagine fried, and every kind of southern pie, it's all there. The catfish is magnificent, with that wonderfully gritty cornmeal batter surrounding flaky, tender fish. The complimentary roll is also delicious! And the servers are very nice here! But there are some downsides. The fried okra, my favorite southern side dish, is actually soft and soggy. No self respecting southerner would ever make soggy fried okra. It's about the worst I ever had. And the onion rings, which are hard to mess up, were burnt black and lacked flavor. They were inedible. The cashier is rude and doesn't have time for "thank you" or small talk or a smile or even giving you your receipt when nobody else is in line to pay their bill. That's just how it is. If you want good catfish, Sling Shot Charlie's will come through. But if you want a southern culinary experience that's enjoyable, there are much better places to have it!
