    Had the opportunity to visit both the Chicago and Charlotte locations and I must say these locations had a much better vibe and the food was great. My experience at DC wasn’t as pleasurable. My waitress was nice and food came out quickly. However, I had to wait 20 minutes after my scheduled reservation to be seated and the drinks (too much flavoring syrup) and food was okay ( Fired chicken not as flavorful and Mac and cheese made with cheese sauce) Food presenting was subpar served on a plain black plate.

    Alexa was a great server! The food was amazing. I had the catfish, greens, Mac and cheese and cornbread. All 10/10 and so good! The catfish was fresh and had great seasoning. My friend had the chicken fried chicken and absolutely loved it! The mocktails were really good too. I will definitely be back. They also had a live band downstairs and they were amazing!

    The catfish was exceptionally good along with other tasty and creative items. The service was impeccable. The live music was a cherry on top. Always a pleasure to hang out in this lovely space.

    Had brunch with the family. Food & service was excellent! I love the vibe, but the music is loud. It is difficult to have conversations.
