| - The ambiance is nice, the background music was great, yet neither of those compare to the food on the table in front of you. Some of the best fried chicken this side of Price's Chicken Coop!
As good as the chicken was, the sides were possibly the highlight. We ordered mac & cheese (wouldn't get again, simply because it was the weakest of the bunch, but if you must, go for it!), kale grits (OMGG! O Maizing Green Grits), okra with enough bacon jam that it's approved by the Pork Council as a meat, sweet potato dumplings (some said they were a little on the salty side, which they were, but still the highlight for me), kale salad (sounds blah but try it and you'll change your mind), and tater tots (smaller than most other places, but it packs a flavorful punch). The Alabama white sauce is good for dipping, as is the house made hot sauce (which is not overly hot btw).
A friend got the special, which was chicken and biscuits (described as chicken pot pie filling over 4 biscuits). A very large portion but it looked amazing. I had too much food in front of me to try, but everyone said it was good.
The beer selection was a little weak for me, but still enough options to find something. They certainly push the mixed drinks and wine as opposed to the beer menu. I stuck with beer but a few folks at the table had mixed drinks and all were pleased with their orders.
2 beers, an order of 2 piece chicken, and a side had me out of the door for $30 after tip.
We were there by 5:30 on a Tuesday and had no wait. However, the place was packed out by 6:30. As others note, there is a waitlist option on the Yelp app, so save yourself some stress and take care of that before arriving. Walk down the street to any one of several bars for a pre-dinner drink, or just hang out in the bar and run up your tab.
Whatever you decide, just decide that this place is worth the wait!
