Pretty much everything is good here. The shrimp grits are AMAZING!! The she crab soup is a MUST, the collard greens are GREAT! The bread is awesome, so is the snapper . Great staff . Go hungry ????

Katie Lafountain

The complimentary collard greens lived up to the hype!! Those along with the warm freshly baked bread and the appetizer portion of shrimp and grits made for a perfect meal. Hubby loved the crab cakes !

Michelle Boardman

Awesome service, and the she-crab soup is a must try! It was amazing, especially with the bread . Their bread is my favorite- like a cross between a French bread and white cornbread . SO. GOOD.

The highly recommend shrimp and grits were delicious and the staff helpful and friendly .

Hansen Leong

Get the she crab soup !!! Fantastic. You may want to request that chef put less salt in/on your meal if you don't want too salty food -- a bit heavy-handed, but maybe that's how they do it down south.

Deon Melton

Had the blackened snapper with key like butter sauce (not on the menu ), collard greens and grits with bread . There was nothing that wasn't delicious.

Gwendolyn Harley

We visit Columbia often. And I must say this is our favorite restaurant . Customer Service and the meals are great!

CITY GRIT

The food at the old school seafood joint is just that - old school and a bit dated. But the She Crab soup is still a solid winner!

Jennifer Hugg

The shrimp and oyster skillet did not dissapoint. The she crab soup amd key lime pie were also excellent.

Lisa Edington

We had the Shrimp Creole and the Chicken Pasta . Both were crazy good with HUGE portions .

Francesca Okolie

The shrimp and grits are delicious! The Pisco Punch is also a great cocktail ! Can't wait to return.

I really enjoyed the Ribeye .. Very surprising quality, good size and excellent taste

Sallie Johnson

Mahi-mahi Orleans and she-crab soup are wonderful

Cobb salad the size of your head with your choice of grilled chicken , shrimp or salmon

John Becker

Great bartenders and very inventive cocktails ...and the seafood is just terrific!

Natalie Rankin

The Hawaiian Steak is the most massive, beautifully cut and marinated I've had in my extensive experience. The flavor outranks Ruth's Chris

Jeff Berryhill

Go for an appetizer trio. She crab soup , shrimp and grits and then crab cake . Great trio.

Colin Lord

Giant portions . Bring your appetite! Shrimp and grits were amazing.

Jenn Keating

The shrimp and grits are crazy delicious. Great service, very friendly !

Brionnie Chantoria

Fried green tomatoes here are amazing. Pair it with the bread and She Crab soup .... To die for!!!

Earl

Shrimp and grits ..more like grit soup..taste okay.. But shrimp too small and too few with grits being very saucy. Not award winning as proclaimed...next time Motor City

Sarah Katherine Gottshalk

You won't regret trying the shrimp and grits - made from local Adluh grits , just across the street!

Mo Chiav

Nice ambiance. Good food. I recommend.

Darrick Suen

A must for out-of-state people. Gotta try the She Crab Soup .

Randy S

The grit cakes were dry and overly Salted. The asparagus Spears were grilled correctly but the chef did not have a deft hand with the salt again. The salmon was medium and was properly Seasoned.

katrina kral

Love the she crab soup with their crusty bread .

Walker Knight

Great service and hot waitresses ! Try the teriyaki salmon and the key lime pie , they're great!

Ashley Jenkins

Try the New Orleans gumbo or their famous Shrimp & grits ! :)

Tim Unger

The bread is great. The service is attentive and the food is tasty. I also love the music , just sayin.
