| - I feel sort of bad about this, but we only ended up tipping our waitress $1 here. I honestly think she deserved a lot less, like one cent. We did tip our bus boy $10 though and let me tell you why.
I had truly high hopes for this so-called 'classic' Vegas restaurant, but I was just disappointed.
We were quickly assisted in finding seats as soon as we walked in. We had to move to another table because the table we were given was very wobbly. It was weird that they kind of expected us to deal with that, instead of finding a solution and just leaving the table that way. I told them I was clumsy and that I needed a different table.
Our bus boy was great and refilled our drinks several times. It was kind of cute that they were in mason jars. Our waitress, however, was unacceptable. While she was taking our order, she left in the middle of my man talking to speak to another customer just walking in. She came back 30 seconds later and didn't even apologize for interrupting him. The worst part was that she got our order wrong. We were going to get it corrected, but ended up deciding not to. They would probably going to mess that up too and we didn't want to deal with her any longer.
I did, however, ask for the smothered gravy sauce that she failed to bring us for our smothered gravy chicken. She came to our table irritated and said "sorry", in a very unapologetic matter, as if it was our fault she forgot to bring it. She didn't check on us the entire meal, unlike the other waiting staff there. The only time she was polite, was when she brought us our check, which we had to have another employee get for us since she was not around.
As far as the food, the fried chicken was better than okay (not better than Roscoe's in Cali), but the sides were absolutely horrid. The mac & cheese had no flavor and the collard greens tasted as if they had no spices added to them. I think I could make better at home and I'm not even a Southern cook. The mashed potatoes were edible, but that's about it. I didn't like the corn cakes, but that was my first time having them.
I have had way better Southern food here in Las Vegas. It is my opinion that you could get your filling for Southern food elsewhere.
