I found this place on Yelp Since it has great reviews and been wanting to try this place out for a few years and finally got a chance on Christmas! First I'll say I love the decor and the set up. The service is awesome and fast. However when we were seated, our server offered water but gave us room temp water; I actually had to ask for ice. The menu was limited for brunch but I figure that means they make a few things great and stick to that.
We started with the Fried Green Tomato BLT. The presentation was pretty and the flavors all bended well together. I would give that 5 stars! Most of their cocktails seemed to be Whisky or Bourbon based, I hate dark liquor but didn't seem to have much of a choice *shrug* I tried the watermelon sling which was made with white whisky and was actually pretty tasty. For my entree I had the shrimp & grits. The shrimp was good, but didn't have as much flavor as I would have liked, the grits were good too separately, But together, the flavors didn't seem to blend well. I guess now that I live in the south and have had shrimp & grits in various ways, the shrimp & grits here were memorable. I would not get them again. My partner had the chicken with a side of
Mac & cheese. The chicken was good, I liked it. I had better but it wasn't bad. The Mac & Cheese was good but could have come out a little hotter and less dry. I prefer my Mac & Cheese more creamy. For dessert I tried the butterscotch cake with bacon infused frosting. I had been eying that ever since I discovered this place online. However, though it wasn't bad, it just wasn't as good as I thought it would be. The cake itself was kinda dense and the frosting was too. I prefer a moist fluffy but rich type of cake. This one was heavy.
This place is mediocre at best. The flavor and quality of the food unfortunately does not match their superb service. I expected due to the location and price but left a little disappointed.
