Reviews & mentions

The house biscuits with pepper jelly butter are unreal and the shrimp & grits is the best in town. Get there before 10 on weekends or you're waiting.

Fantastic brunch and cocktails. Knock a star for the 75-minute Sunday wait — worth it but bring patience.

Food was great but we waited 80 minutes with a reservation. Service felt overwhelmed.
