I found this full service restaurant to be a hidden gem. There's a wide selection of appetizers and main courses along with some pub favorites offered. Be sure to look at the specials menu as well. My take out order was freshly prepared and delicious. My server was also welcoming and helpful. Come hungry as portions are on the large side. There's plenty of dining available and looks to be a good place to have gatherings.

Very good food, excellent customer service, and the best part, I’d consider it a hidden gem since you can actually get in on Saturdays without a reservation.

I went here on my son's recommendation. I was very pleasantly surprised. We ordered an appetizer sampler with crab cakes, stuffed mushrooms, cheese curds and fried okra and four dipping sauces. The stuffed mushrooms were the best I have had and the crab cakes were delightful. One if the sauces served with the appetizers was a like a smokey tomato pesto that I found as a delicious change to the normal ranch and ranch derivatives (although these were good also). I ordered the mahi mahi tacos and was in fish taco heaven! The meals of my companions also looked wonderful. Total for 3 people was approximately $80. Well spent, entirely worth it.

This is my go-to place for authentic soul food. I have never had a bad experience in my 10+ visits. Great food, service, and atmosphere. Worth the price.
