I've been driving by this place for years and never had the urge to stop in. They have a patio area streetside that always seems busy in warm weather, so the place seems popular enough, but just hadn't dropped in until one colder December day. Turns out it is a solid place to drop in, with a southern emphasis and a nice looking weekend brunch menu.
The bar area has tables and a large bar that they serve at, and adjacent is a moderate sized dining room, so waits don't seem to be a frustration here.
On the menu, several items caught my eye, and will be worth a return trip to check out. This inaugural voyage had us ordering the Fried Green Tomatoes Benedict and the Jambalaya Cheese steak, sans the andouille sausage from the regular menu. The Benedict was very tasty, sporting a pair of poached eggs over an english muffin topped with delicious fried green tomatoes, bacon and a hollandaise sauce. Rounding this dish out were some top drawer home fried potatoes. The Cheese Steak was an ample mix of small shrimp and chicken (again, I had the sausage removed) with plentiful roasted onions and green peppers with melted jack cheese on a nice sized toasted roll. My only nitpick was the chicken on it was very tough, either overcooked or not properly cooked and perhaps stored away. The sandwich is served with a side of fries and a small side of coleslaw.
Our highlight however was their signature Brunch drink a Dill Pickle Bloody Mary. The price was right ($10), had a dill pickle infused vodka (great flavor!) spicy tomato mix and arrived adorned with a large pickle and large cocktail shrimp spear. Definitely this is a must-have for bruncher's and others who fancy a nice bloody mary to accompany a meal. As mentioned, the menu has other southern options that sounded (and as we spied them being delivered to other tables, looked) very promising to warrant a return visit. Their salad options were also pretty impressive.
