| - I came here with high expectations after reading reviews of both this location and the original in Miami. I left sorely disappointed.
During a slow lunch service, we ordered the Mama's Chicken Biscuits, the Crunchy Yardbird Sandwich, and the Mac and Cheese.
As far as the chicken biscuits, the actual biscuits were wonderful: buttery and fluffy. They were exactly what a biscuit should be. The pickles were gross. I have never liked sweet and sour pickles, and I was in for a surprise as I popped one in my mouth. (We opted to order the biscuits without the pepper jelly).
The chicken is very weird. It's almost as if the staff takes a piece of white meat, a piece of dark meat, and sticks it together before battering and frying. I am not big on dark meat, so I was not happy with it. I could only take a few bites before I decided it really just wasn't worth the calories, and I did not enjoy it. I will give it to the chefs, as it was juicy.
The Crunchy Yardbird Sandwich had mayo and more of the yucky pickled vegetables. This was not listed on the menu, and I would have a preferred a head's up on these items, as I do not like them. the bacon is not so much bacon as it is pork belly. The hot sauce is definitely the same honey hot sauce on other items. Again, they're adding sweetness where I would really prefer they left it out.
The Mac and Cheese was okay. Not bad, but I can make better, and why come to a restaurant for something that you can make better?
The food is also fairly pricey. Especially because I left feeling that my calories could have been spent better elsewhere.
The decor and service were top notch. Not only is the environment warm and welcoming, but the staff is so attentive that it is on par with a fine dining restaurant. But, ultimately, I don't come to restaurant for the service and atmosphere.
