Delicious fish tacos! I asked for my Bourbon lemonade to be diluted to cut the sweetness a little & it was perfect!

Fried chicken to die for. I crave it sometimes, lol. We enjoy going there for an early dinner & a couple of bourbon lemonades. Music is good & service as well. Very familiar & easy going spot.

The person I am assuming is the owner/manager is warm & welcoming. He suggested ordering the whiskey lemonade & it did not disappoint. The taco I ordered was just okay. There isn't much meat in it, so for $13 for two, that was disappointing.

What bothered me is that I asked for a side order of their smoked potato salad, which sounded really interesting, but the waitress decided not to bring it because'someone else's meal comes with potatoes'...soooo I'm just supposed to force them share their food with me? I wanted to laugh when she brought it because there was only about 1 1/2 tbs of potatoes. To her credit, she did say she would bring some if I'really wanted it,' but she had no right to make the decision she did in the first place. That pissed me off, so I won't be returning.

The place was just down from our airbnb. Two of us decided to stop in for a beer. As we walked in, we both commented on how cool the atmosphere was. Service was great that night, & the food smelled incredible. 2 nights later we went with our group of 5 for dinner. The Burritos, Nachos, & Po'Boy sandwiches were incredible, not to mention the house specialty drink, Bourbon Lemonade. The service was incredible as well. They were very welcoming. Well worth checking out!!

Not what it used to be, but was still good. Lemonade is a bit on the sweet side... you've been warned!
