If you like spicy get the Nashville hot chicken . Add hot honey sauce and a waffle with bourbon syrup . Portions could be bigger, but it helps you save room for pie . Get a local beer . Did I mention pie ?
Hipster or not (psst...it kinda is) this place usually satisfies. Good chicken , good hearty sides. It’s basically what it presents itself to be, which is really all you can ask of a restaurant .
Food was just ok. A little overpriced. 2 leg quarters are 16.00 (sides not included). Pork skins are very good and seasoned well . The Nashville hot chicken was pretty good.
As far as fried chicken goes, it's probably the best you can get in the area. That being said, the menu isn't very diverse and it's definitely a splurge in terms of healthy eating
All the cocktails and the wings ...but you can't go wrong. Also super chill and friendly .
Chicken and waffles . The syrup is AMAZING
Tasty tenders and great fried okra. Will definitely be back. - Stephen Quirk
TJ's just opened here this week, taco bravos and potato oles. A small step up from Taco Bell. - Erik Rowley
Their craft beer is fantastic. Prices are reasonable. I love the rustic appeal of the place. - Grace Wisegarver
BBQ chicken pizza and the Asian dumplings are favorites. I second the pineapple tequila recommendation. - Desiree G
