I wanted to like this place, I really did. To an extent, I did. I sampled it during first Friday when they had a dj playing at the door and the owner greeting people. He seemed like a nice guy, and in their menu they boast about giving back to the community on a variety of ways- things i can really get excited about. The restaurant seemed like it was being run by family or friends, with a group of people hanging out in a booth and gossiping about various things.
I sampled the ribs with collard greens and mac & cheese. The ribs were salty and tender with a bit of smokey flavor, but weren't outstandingly memorable. The collard greens were bitter and cooked down, while the mac and cheese was alright but nowhere close to my southern grandmother's.
The interior of the restaurant isn't very fancy and the beverages come in big foam cups. The bathrooms were locked and when I attempted to use it, I saw a roach scurry across the floor. EEK! :( The roach killed it for me.
