My grandfather and I were given a suggestion to go to this restaurant by the man working at the desk at the Hampton Inn and Suites across the street. We were absolutely one hundred percent pleased, surprised and satisfied. I had the blackened catfish (a personal favorite; it was great, although it could have used just a bit more blackening. But I like things super spicy.) I got macaroni and cheese (homemade and cheesy and perfect) and collared greens (leafy and tender and absolutely glorious) as sides. Grandpa got chicken and waffles. Our server's name was Harold and he was attentive, kind, and knowledgeable. He even stuck around to make sure we knew how to do the chicken and waffles "right"! I had a bite and they were absolutely wonderful; the chicken was juicy and not overly breaded and the waffle was fluffy and cinnamony; especially with the hot sauce and maple syrup, they were an absolute treat. We had to have dessert, of course, and chose the peach cobbler. Now, I've had bad peach cobbler. And this was fantastic. It had just enough spices and the crust was flaky and fresh (not soggy at all!).
The portions were plentiful and every bite was just as good as the last. And for an added surprise, we got to meet the owner, Phil. He was walking around and talking to customers and he was just as nice as could be (and with a great handshake to boot.)
I recommend this place like crazy (which means a lot coming from a Virginia/DC native like me.)
