    Food was ok. Service was good. Be mindful when paying the bill. They added an extra $10 if you choose to pay with a credit card. Never seen that before.

    Fantastic fried green tomatoes! Excellent bartender who sensed we would rather have been seated outside. He stepped up and made the effort to find us a table in the lovely courtyard. Really reasonable yummy comfort food. Kind staff. Will be back!

    Very good food, nice server, but took awhile. Bad thing was sirens blasting. I realize the restaurant couldn't do anything about the police, but it ruined the dinner, as it lasted half of the time we were sitting there. Maybe bad timing....hoping it's not a common occurence.

    We got sat then got ignored for about 20mins then we left. Looked promising but when the place was half empty we could have at least had our drink order placed.

    Nice small spot, short easy menu, easy to find, fire station is nextdoor neighbor and close by major walking area. I felt safe and cared for.

    Food was very bland and the banana foster bread pudding was like a cold brick on a plate. Staff were arguing loudly with each other in front of customers about having to do each others jobs.

    Service was awesome. So friendly. We ate early so not busy or loud. Music in background was fun! Food was good- not great. A bit under seasoned. I would give them another try!
