Sit inside-the bus stop right next to the outdoor tables will disturb your meal. The sweet tea is delicious, but it's more like an Arnold Palmer than a plain Southern sweet tea .

Avery Jenkins

Get the sorrel drink! It's a lovely purple refreshment!

Alexandria Baker

Make sure you have time to eat here. We waited 45 minutes for our meal and those who ordered 20 minutes after got their meal before ours. Basically eat something before you come here.

Closed on church day.

Chicken and waffles are scary good.

Courtney Anderson

Waited about 50 minutes before our food came and when it arrived it was cold and not cooked all the way through. I won't be coming here again.

Larry Goodwin

Service is the worst , waited an hour just to find out the cook never got our order. So we left.
