Had the chicken greens sandwich on the waiters recommendation, had the Bellini sips sour beer and a peach jalapeno margarita. Might have been the best Marg I've had in the states so far. Good stuff.”

Choose a protein, three sides, and biscuit or cornbread.
“We had our first lunch here with a party of six, service was very personable and professional with detail explanation of all the different choices. Most of us chose the meat and three which were all incredible. All the food was fresh and home-cooked like an upscale restaurant but very reasonable in price. Next time we’re in town we will be back. Would love to try dinner the next time. Thanks for having a unique restaurant compared to so many.”
