I was looking forward to eating here, which says something because I don't often look forward to eating at franchises. It's not that I'm against a franchise, rather I feel that a degree of quality is lost (and complacency enters) when the executive chef is no longer present and there are different kitchen expeditors (if any.)
I'm sure this restaurant was once great, hence the high star rating, and why I had bookmarked it. But, what it was is no longer what it is....at least not on the evening we went. To be fair, the biscuits are yummy and the fried green tomatoes are delicious. But the entrees we ordered were not good- greasy and tasteless. To be honest, they could have passed a blind taste test for a Popeye's $5 meal. Not impressed.
