I ordered the chicken with mashed potatoes. Chicken was very good but i could swear the mashed potatoes were instant. While waiting for our food we heard the hostess taking an order over the phone for carry out and they requested mashed potatoes. She stated they didn't have mashed only fries. I thought that was strange since my meal said mashed. When our waiter boxed the leftovers he asked if i wanted the grits boxed. There is no way by the texture were the "mashed potatoes " grits. Not sure if they serve real potatoes and ran out or always serve instant. Too pricey of a meal for instant potatoes if you ask me.
