    Seated right away. Service was excellent. Food was good but for me, the chicken was too spicy. Waffle was cooked just right. If you order chicken and waffles and more than one piece of chicken, they pile the pieces on top of each other, making it almost impossible to cut and eat. Ask for a second plate. Parking structure right next to the restaurant. Powells book store within walking distance allows you to walk off your dinner.

    Food was Southern "inspired". Oyster appetizer was great! Perfectly fried with great housemade tartar sauce-a remoulade would have been perfect, but they were delicious nonetheless. Red beans and rice and chicken were well cooked but under seasoned. The hamhock was expected to do all of the work in the red beans and rice. The macaroni and cheese was most disappointing. It was a ramekin that tasted like Kraft with a layer of cheese run through the MerryChef. The Pecan Pie with Bourbon whipped cream was delicious but the extra drizzle of syrup unnecessary. Will go back to try brunch sometime.

    Service was excellent, professional and attentive. Food was good I had the platter with alligator sausage which I’d never had before. My friend had the pork sliders which were very good. We both decided next trip to go with our old favorite, fried chicken. Its the BEST.
