Fat Tuesday I came in to this restaurant looking for some good southern cooking with my grandmother. I've grown up with southern food my whole life since my family is from Memphis. Unfortunately, they weren't starting their Fat Tuesday specials till three which I feel is a missed opportunity to the lunch time crowd like myself.
My sever was very nice and attentive which was great. I ordered the fried green tomatoes which were pretty good, the pimento cheese spread really kicked them up a notch. My grandmother and I each ordered a po'boy, I got the cat fish and my granny got the beef.
When I went to order my side of collard greens I asked for some pepper vinegar on the side to dash in then. I was SHOCKED to hear that they didn't have any. Why would you serve greens and not have pepper vinegar?! That's like ordering Mac and cheese without cheese. So I didn't put up to much of a fuss and let them come as they were, with hot sauce on them.
When my food got there and I finally tasted some of it, I was disappointed. The catfish in my po'boy had no seasoning, which is dumb because catfish is a bland flavorless fish, it needs at least salt. On top of that both my grand ma and I both agreed that these were the MESSIEST po'boy a we've ever eaten. The waiter had to bring us extra napkins. Despite the fuss about the pepper vinegar my green were alright, they were rich and almost buttery, however I did still wish I had the vinegar to give them the right kick. My grandmothers beef po'boy was great except all you could taste was the horse radish.
Overall, the experience was okay I guess. I probably won't return because nothing was especially good to make me want to come back.
