Edson was a great bar tender. The food was awesome. Nice ambiance. Clean place. The take home salad was tasty. The citrus dressing was a little runny, but sweet. The brisket mac was more than I could eat. It was delicious!

Laid back atmosphere with live music. Food was a little cold and the waitress was a little slow. But the ribs, coleslaw, sliders and tater tot appetizer was next level. Skip the chicken fried steak, worst I've ever had.

The atmosphere was great. Great band. Good service. Food was OK. The fried green tomatoes could have been river and lighter breading. Fried shrimp and chicken fried steak are really good. The scampi is good but too lemony..
