It was also the first time I didn't get the chicken & waffles and a side of cheesy grits (which, by the way, I LOVE. Like, want to marry it love).\n\nSo anyway, I really wanted to eat fried chicken, but I had just eaten fried chicken at a less desirable place for lunch (boo), so I decided to give the ribs a try. So, when you get an entree, you get either soup or salad, plus two sides and a big slab of cornbread. I got the chicken & dumpling soup which was very, very tasty. For the sides, I chose the sweet potato fries and the mac & cheese. Um, the mac and cheese was THE. BOMB. For real. So good. I will say that I did not much like the sweet potato fries, but I felt like maybe it was just an off night for them - there were some in the basket that were really good, but most of them seemed underdone. The cornbread? DELISH. I love cornbread and usually get it anywhere that it's available and this did not disappoint.\n\nThe ribs were also super good. Meaty and falling off the bone delicious. \n\nIf you haven't been there. GO. Go for breakfast. Get the chicken and waffles. Eat cheesy grits. GO for lunch or dinner. Get the mac and cheese. Your life will be better for it. Seriously."^^ .
