This was our first visit and we had always heard wonderful things… it’s safe to say it went beyond our expectations. Every flavor was perfect: the cocktails, the pimento cheese, the chicken, the steak, the macaroni… perfection. We will be going back.

We ordered shrimp and crab Benedict - the shrimp were fried to perfection. The house oysters were delicious, and the Bloody Mary topped it all off - would definitely recommend!

This was our second time eating here. The first time was pretty good, good enough to come back but this time the foot was remarkably better. Even the bread was better than last time. They have easily earned a spot at the top of our regular rotation.
