Horrible Disappointment

by robinhg

I didnt have a reservation for a wednesday night so we had to wait 30 minutes which is fine, makes you think it must be worth the wait. i had found the menu online and was impressed and looking forward to southern food with a gourmet feel. We were on a rare date night downtown and wanted a good meal, willing to pay for it. Once we were seated we were given happy hour menus (at 7pm) and thought how nice they have happy hour but that was the whole menu, burgers, pizzas and salads. Not the "southern"food i was expecting.. We asked our server for a dinner menu and she looked bewildered that we would ask for that, we told her never mind and ordered drinks and some mini burgers and pizzas. If you were looking for cheap they were only $2 but not the nice meal i was looking forward to. The burgers were cold. We told another busser and he still left 2 plates of barely eaten burgers on our table while we ate our pizzas. If we said we arent going to eat them why would we have to look at them for the rest of the meal. The pizzas were good, Our drinks came as we were almost finished eating. We were never asked how was our food, although the burgers were sitting on the edge the whole time. So our nice elegant meal was cold meat and $2 pizzas. As I walked thru the restaurant to go to the restrooms I glanced around to notice that everyone, in all there nice business attire, was eating burgers pizzas and salads. I thought maybe only our burgers were cold but i saw other barely touched plates of them being collected as well. The service was about the worst ive ever had anywhere. that is the main reason i am writing my very first restaurant review. I was really confused and shocked and we were out of there in a half an hour.

• Pros: dinner on less than $20
• Cons: unedible, rude service, website lead us on

Really Great Food and large portions.

by corndog85

After walking around and just finding some random place to dine like we usually do after a show on a friday night, we stumbled on this little gem. We were hesitant at first because the place practically looked deserted but went in anyways, what heck it's an adventure right? We were seated right away. Usually when going into a restaurant you have a few seconds up front before they bring you back, it was probably because they were slower that evening. Our server was great and we had our drinks very quickly. We ordered the beef tar tar and I got the butternut squash with goats cheese, while my boyfriend enjoyed some sort of deep fried chicken with mashed potatoes collard green and veggies. It was very southern. Everything tasted great. And the portions were huge. Thankfully my dish was a small plate at a very affordable $8, so I was able to enjoy the two huge bowls of potatoes and greens they put in the middle of our table. When they say large plate they really mean it. Dessert was good to and the wine selection was pretty good. Overall we had a good time with a friendly server who wasn't over attentive. We would defintly go back.
