I saw this place recommended on TikTok. I’ve lived in the area for nearly 11 years and had never been, so we decided to try it for the first time. Here’s my honest feedback.
Before heading over, we checked their website and OpenTable and saw plenty of availability, so we didn’t think a reservation was necessary. We walked in around 6:30 PM and were asked if we had a reservation. When we said no, the host immediately told us there would be a 45-minute wait. Her delivery came off a bit abrasive and not very welcoming. The customers who walked in right after us were told the same thing.
We checked OpenTable again while standing there and nothing had changed, so we booked the next available reservation at 6:45 PM. After waiting just a couple more minutes, another group came in and was given the same 45-minute wait explanation. We then overheard that bar seating might be available, so instead of waiting, we decided to check that option.
At first glance, there were plenty of open tables on the dining floor and several seats available at the bar, so we’re still unclear why there was supposedly a 45-minute wait. There also didn’t appear to be any large event or private function happening in other rooms.
Once seated at the bar, the experience improved. The bartenders and servers were friendly, attentive, and helpful. We reviewed the menu and ordered the platter that’s been going viral on TikTok.
As for the food: the coleslaw was unimpressive and honestly a turnoff—it tasted like it had been sitting out for quite some time. The pickles were mediocre, and the cornbread was served cold, almost as if it came straight from the fridge (not sure if that’s intentional). We didn’t ask to speak with a manager, as these felt like minor issues and we’re not the type to make a fuss.
The meats, however, were very good—no complaints there. That said, having experienced true Southern BBQ in places like Memphis, South Carolina, Georgia, and Texas, this doesn’t quite compare. Still, it’s slightly above average for BBQ and comfort food overall.
