Let me just say that if you are craving some crispy and delicious fried chicken, THIS is the spot!! And the amount of food they give you, lets just say i had leftovers. The mac and cheese was phenomenal, and the potato salad was very good as well. And i can not forget about the fried green tomatoes they were amazing! And the cocktails were refreshing. I’m definitely going back in a few weeks when we visit again!!

Great Service, Food and Drinks. We had nachos as an appetizer and they were really tasty and a generous portion too. I had the fried green tomato blt and my daughter had one of their signature chicken sandwiches. Both were delicious. The fried chicken tastes so good! We’ll definitely try again on our next visit to the Wilmington area.n

This was the best brunch food I’ve had in my life. We were seated quickly which was a pleasant surprise on a Sunday morning. I had the smothered hoop cheese biscuit with gravy and it was just heaven on a plate. Our waiter was super nice as well.

New Favorite Restaurant!!! Went with our friends and everyone’s food was spot on! I ordered the fried chicken beignets and wow, *insert chef’s kiss* we’ll definitely be returning. It’s a really nice set up with indoor and patio eating, and very close to the downtown scene. If you want some flavorful cooking with good atmosphere, this is the place to go!

Excellent lunch here. Had the chicken and waffles which the waitress had recommended. They have excellent fried chicken here. They went with honey over syrup for the chicken and waffles and it was an excellent choice (syrup is still available upon request). They have a great beer menu and it is definitely worth a visit. With an attached arcade and very affordable prices, this is a great place to bring the family. My son also loved the chicken fingers. So definitely worth a try in Wilmington!

Great niche restaurant in a prime location at the waterfront. Yes, parking is at a premium, as at all downtown areas, but they validate up to 3hrs. Menu is small but creative blend of favorites and food taste was delicious. Only one of three plates were served hot, melted pimento cheese wasn’t melted but chunky cold… Wasn’t bad but was a little disappointing. Staff corrected by replacing a plate.

Big serving of chicken! As per my pic, you can see their corn on the cob was absolutely delicious as were the collards. Green beans were excellent, too. Great service and friendly atmosphere.

What a great find for Sunday Brunch. The service was great, food was amazing and I loved the music. We sat in the back room and it was pleasant. There was a small line waiting for them to open at 10:30. So worth it!!
