| - This place just makes me laugh - we had such a ridiculous time here. The portions are so completely over-the-top, it's great fun and we definitely don't have anything like this up North.
Fried chicken.. with bacon waffles.. drenched with syrup. I get the same look from everyone when I describe this to them. It's a cross between absolute revulsion and incredulity - that I LIKED it?! Yeah, we don't have fried chicken and waffles up here - that's a new combo. But damn, it was good. It's I'm-on-vacation-and-what-happens-in-Vegas-stays-in-Vegas good.
The green fried tomato is stacked up in a tower, layered with goat cheese. I have no idea what this is supposed to taste like, but it was just like very firm warm tomatoes, with goat cheese & balsamic. Not bad, but nothing exciting beyond its portion size.
The crab cakes are more like crab patties. They are burger sized, the biggest crab cakes I've ever seen. Taste-wise, nothing to write home about, but not bad in the traditional sense either. There were decent amounts of real crab meat in there, not just filler.
The hammered pork tenderloin comes served in a plate that is the size of the table-width. No joke. It made for a great late night snack.
I really enjoyed the complimentary biscuits - big, buff and buttered with honey. Just the way I (now) like them. I had to exercise considerable restrain in eating just one.
Arriving early enough on a Friday night at 6:30, we were able to get a table right away. The place was pretty packed by the time we left at 8:30.
