| - We had dinner here last night. It's the second time we've eaten here. The first experience was OK, but nothing particularly noteworthy. So, I wanted to make another visit before reviewing. Last night's dinner was very good... Not quite a 5, but close.
For apps, our party shared onion rings, the stuffed jalapenos, and edamame. The onion rings were so crispy and not a bit greasy, but needed a bit of salt and pepper. The ranch dressing on the side was really creamy. The stuffed jalapenos are really good. They're not breaded and fried, so they have a much fresher flavor. The only downside is the portion is too small. The edamame was fine, but again a small portion.
For my meal, I had pulled pork, black eyed pea salad, and jalapeno grits. All were excellent. The pork was moist and flavorful. The grits were creamy, bordering on decadent. And the black eyed pea salad was so fresh and the peas had just the right amount of bite to them. Everyone else in my party of 7 really enjoyed their meals, too.
The prices are on the high side for the amount of food you get. If you are looking for Southern BBQ that's good but cheap, this isn't the place. That's because the atmosphere is much nicer than a BBQ joint. This place is a bit more refined, with appetizers, a full bar, and no rednecks. Overall the food is good and we'll definitely be back.
