Fresh off the plane from Southern California, my wife and I were starving and craving fried chicken—and this place delivered! We dropped in around 6:00 PM on a Tuesday, and the vibe was lively and upbeat. Even though it was packed, the service was fantastic; two of the bartenders teamed up to take great care of us. My wife ordered the fried chicken plate (she dove in before I could even snap a photo), and I went with the chicken and waffles. Both plates were huge and absolutely amazing. Whenever we're back in town, we'll definitely be stopping by again! *Would note plates are pricey here for fried chicken, but its good

We had an amazing evening with great food and expert service. We started with drinks & the bread service & both were perfect. My main was the Nashville Hot Fried Shrimp Po Boy and it was awesome. I especially appreciated that the bread didn’t overpower the shrimp! The red beans and rice made the perfect side.
