This perfectly fried, fresh pond-raised catfish has a crisp breading and a great choice of sides. Take your pick from southern-style corn bread , okra and tomatoes , or smoky peas—just to name a few. Read more
The Deep South-inspired casual eatery blends New Orleans classics with Delta-inspired dishes. Think cornhusk tamales , pimento cheese plates and fried catfish with hushpuppies . [Eater 38 Member]
While fried catfish with hush puppies is an obvious specialty, High Hat's fried chicken is a destination dish—and it goes quickly. Read more
The pimento mac n cheese is the best I've ever had from a restaurant . The pulled pork is also phenomenal. Red beans slightly different than the classic, w/green peppers , but very tasty!
The fried chicken with the mac n cheese , green beans with apple smoked bacon , hush puppies and good Southern sweet tea !
Ask for "Daddy's Little Fatty." Not on the menu and a splurge ( take Lipitor immediately after): Oyster Po'boy with slaw , pickles , pork debris , and ask for Creole mustard . Ultimate hangover cure .
Solid upscale Southern diner fare . The prices might be a little bit high. Get the specials. They're usually the best food of the day.
I highly recommend the satsuma mojito and the slow roasted pork , which is out of this world. Greens are a touch on the sweet side; order the green beans instead. They're remarkable, crisp, with bacon .

Nummy Nummy Southern food sourced locally (really - its of importance to Chef Jeremy Wolgamott) and prepared simply and properly AND the handcrafted cocktails are off the chain!
Lovely food and great service. They pack a lot of flavor into everything. Eat slowly and enjoy. :]
Jesus Christ. Jeremy is an amazing cook. Get the lamb bacon BLT, when it's available. The service is spectacular. More napkins without being asked? Holy crap!
it's all about the side dishes here! the collard greens and mac and cheese were fantastic.
Pimento Cheese ! Fries , grits , & macaroni ! Also make room for pie .
All food is great, but especially the pimento Mac and cheese
i got catfish , hush puppies , field peas , apple pie ... all good. get anything. it's good
Ask about the daily specials . Everything is good- including the tapped beer options . Yum!

Great homemade ginger ale ! Food is very good but overpriced.
Incredible service and delicious food.
