C PThe food was good. The country fried chicken was good. The greens were really good. The crawfish queso was very good. It took them a couple times to get one of our burgers correct. The horse at the entrance is really in the way when you have to wait for a table and not enough seating in waiting area. I would move the horse and replace the coffee tables with more seating.
Jerod StanleyThis restaurant has a great atmosphere and unique vibe. They give you chips and salsa out of a glass jar that you can pour into a little bowl. I had the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and collard greens. The chicken fried steak was very good. The collard greens had a hint of spice that made them taste exceptional.
Matt HollisHas a cool atmosphere and the service was pretty good. Seems odd to me that a burger is as much or more than a entree with two or three sides. I got the Dobbs steak fries. Had the potential to be a really good meal but had way too much char all over the steak. Every bite has over powering taste of burnt or ash. Sux bc it seemed like a good quality steak and the seasons and cook temp was all good. Also it didn't say on the menu it would have beans on it. Maybe just me but I don't want pinto beans on my fries.
Devon SextonThe food was good. I had the chicken tacos, they were spicy and delicious. The service was amazing! It was not well lit and very loud inside, but overall a great place.
