End of edit.
I expected a lot more given the hype around this place. The food was good (just good) which is the only reason I gave this place 2 stars. The other 3 stars are missing due completely to front of house issues I experienced during my visit. I served throughout college and am pretty patient, but frankly the service flat out sucked. Like really sucked.
We started by grabbing a drink from the bar while waiting for our friends. The girl that helped us was a snarky and condescending. It was pretty obvious she didnt really want to be there. If you go to their bar, try and get the male bartender with the long hair as he's much nicer and friendlier.
At the table, our waitress was just a mess. It was Sunday night and the restaurant was well staffed, and yet our waitress was seemingly too busy to stand by our table for more than 5 seconds. As a consequence we never got her name. After our appetizer we sat at the table for 15+ minutes before she came back to take our order, and she had to come back by and ask us again what it was because she'd forgotten parts of it. (Maybe she should have written it down?) As the food came out, she was nowhere in sight. The foodrunners (or other servers?) ran our food out and we were missing an item. We just figured she didnt put it in and were going to let it go, but she came back to the table after we'd asked for our bills and noticed we hadnt gotten some of our food. Aka this item died in the window. She would probably have known if she ran any of the food or came by at all.
Foodwise...
Biscuits with bacon jam were very meh. Never thought I'd say this, but it was too much bacon and not enough biscuit.
Fried chicken was okay. Pretty juicy but heavily breaded and a bit saltier than I prefer. Decently spiced. All-around, just alright.
Sides were the best part of the meal. Cornbread pudding, okra, and cheesy grits were all very flavorful and textually pleasant. The okra was not over or undercooked, and had some firmness to it. The cornbread pudding was very nice- rich, decadent, and a bit sweet.
Despite haberdish's played out concept, the restaurant manages to have some level of uniqueness and identity. One that I actually liked. The food was alright and the ambiance was nice, but the service was terrible. Overall, I'd go once more to try it again if the service hadn't been such garbage. But it was. So I probably won't be back.
