| - I really wanted to like this place, because all my friends had been and they seemed to like it. I give this place name the "fake southern food".
We arrived at 5, parking is to say the least difficult. At 5pm we were told it was an hour wait. So I spotted two seats at the bar and snagged them. I asked the bartender if we could eat there and she told us yes. I ordered the tupelo honey draft, which was great. Since I was sitting at the bar you would think the service would be great... Not so. She couldn't be bothered with us when I asked what was the best thing on the menu.. She simply said it's all good..(I don't think she's even eaten the food here) we ordered the okra to start. The okra came out pretty fast. I love fried okra, however this was wormy tasting mushy and not at all crisp on the inside. Fail. Won't try it again. Since it was so bland I was hesitant to order dinner and we thought about going some place else. It was filling up in the place the bar barely had standing room, and people were pushing and shoving. Some man came over and asked me if the seat next to me was taken and I said no he proceeded to shove another seat in next to me. If you've been there the bar area itself is small, an extra seat doesn't fit well. Then the man asked to try my okra! Sure since I was done with it now.. And still waiting to order. Weird.
We got veggie plate and tomato soup and grill cheese. When it finally came, it looked ok. The grill cheese is just grilled cheese on big toast. Bland at best. The tomato soup was barely warm, no worries though because the five people tending bar couldn't be bothered to even ask. The veggie plate with Mac and cheeses, beets, and some kind of roasted collard greens was absolutely nasty. The beets were not cooked. Think raw beet dipped in some kind of vinegar sweet juice.. The collards were terrible not even cooked. And I didn't bother tasting the Mac and cheese. My husband said it was ok. But if your in this area of town looking for southern food I suggest skip this over rated place and head to midnight dinner or macs speed shop. Unless of course you just want beer and crowds.
On one other note the guys next to us asked for a couple shots the bartender lady said well this isn't really a bar bar, if you want that you need find just a bar.. Indicating she had no clue how to mix this shot they wanted which was just pickle juice and Irish whiskey.. Seriously not hard and all she had to do was google it which they did for her.
I'm not going to bother going back here. The service was sub par, the food was worse. Try it if you want to wait 1 hr or more at any time of day and want just say you've been to the new hip trendy place in town. Cheers.
