Fantastic food! Really enjoyed the crabcakes. Also loved the biscuits with house butter that came out before our food arrived.

The Best Restaurant in Southeast Charlotte with Farm to Table meals that are ALWAYS Delicious. Last night's Chicken dinner meals were the best and the fried green tomatoes hit the spot. Best Biscuits in town.

Walking into the restaurant, we were immediately greeted with a warm welcome and seated by the hostess. The server was polite and courteous and service was good. I decided to order the meatloaf as my main course. The food presentation on the plate looked very good. Sadly, it was a bit dry and salty.

Fantastic food, shrimp and grits were perfect, fried green tomatoes with corn relish were also top notch. My wife highly recommends the mushroom soup as well as the Bibb & Arugula Salad. Our server, “Heather” was absolutely the best. Can’t wait to come and try the fried oysters that were recommended, and hopefully have room for dessert.
