   Visiting from Austin for the Specialty Coffee Expo and Gatlin's was on the list! From the lovely host to our fantastic server Laurie, the whole experience was a 10! Hospitality is at an all time low in Austin so to be treated like family was very special. Thank you, thank you and we will be back next time we're in town!

   I was super excited to visit this restaurant …the biscuits, macaroni, and fries were stellar. However, the front of the house meaning the service was not. Although they told us that they were very busy (we were told repeat that they only had two servers for the entire restaurant) and I am empathetic our table service was bad. Tables that were seated well after us received their appetizers and food first, we had to wait over 50 minutes to get any food to our table. We also had to ask the busboy for part of our order.Then we had to flag a busboy down to see if we could get a Togo box and our ticket.The food was good but unless you have an extra 2.5 hours to spare… the food was good though. Maybe this was just an off night.

   Our server, Laurie, was an absolute delight. She let our group of 10 know that she and one other server were covering the entire restaurant that day. Despite being busy with several tables, Laurie remained kind, pleasant, and as attentive as she could be. There was a small miscommunication on my part regarding brunch—it’s only served on Sundays—but the food we ordered was still absolutely delicious. I’ll definitely be returning! While this location isn’t ideal for large groups, they still managed to accommodate us, and we truly appreciated that.

   Visiting from Dallas discovered this quaint southern restaurant on instagram and decided to go check it out. They did not disappoint. Felt the love from the minute we came into the door. Hostess sat us and told us who our server would be. Whitney- was so amazing. She was super knowledgeable and patient with us as it was our first time. Then the food came and it was absolute perfection. We will definitely be back to visit and make this a mandatory stop when we are in town!

   We have really enjoyed this restaurant in our previous experiences. Unfortunately, this time was different. Very disappointed with the food and kitchen service. Ordered 2 orders of blackened catfish with crabmeat topping. Both my guests received two small thin pieces of catfish with thin layer of crab meat. For $34 each, this was a very disappointing outcome. Our reservation was at 6:15 and they already ran out of collard greens. By the time they informed us that this side dish was no longer available, my guest had already eaten more than half of his entree and the rest of his entree well before his 2nd side choice arrived. Again, very disappointed.

   Food was ok. Service was great. We were able to sit as soon as we arrived for our reservation. Our waitress was attentive and very nice.

   Overall the food was.. okay. The chicken was not freshly fried, it was like it had sat for a while and began to sweat a bit, not crunchy. The biscuits o. The other hand were marvelous!

   This was truly impeccable service!!!! I was greeted by the host, our server was AMAZING, and the food was hot, fresh, and well seasoned!!! Our server took the time to explain the menu. She also was very kind and made us feel right at home! If for any reason I come back it will be because of her!! She took care of us expeditiously and our drinks were never empty! That food was also extremely good! Everything from those delicious biscuits to the oysters to the foods with the Mac and cheese!! Whew 10/10!

    Very good food. It’s all prepared after you order, so be prepared to wait awhile. Well worth the wait!
