The menu centers on expertly seasoned fried chicken paired with house-made honey butter and spicy hot sauces that define the regional culinary profile. Diners encounter a selection of flour tortillas filled with slow-cooked proteins and fresh garnishes representing traditional taco culture. The interior reflects an unpretentious industrial aesthetic featuring rustic textures and communal seating arrangements that facilitate a direct focus on the food. Each dish relies on traditional smoking techniques to achieve deep, savory profiles throughout the extensive protein options. Patrons experience a consistent commitment to comfort food classics that honor the culinary traditions of the American South through precise preparation and robust flavor combinations.

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.

Très bon repas, nous avons apprécié l'endroit & les tacos sont très goûteux. On recommande aussi bien la version croquante que celle traditionnelle. Le service à été rapide.

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.

Food was quite good. Consistent with what I have had there before, having gone once a year or so approx past 9 years.
Fried chicken here is my go - to & it did not disappoint. My cherry on top is their always exciting offering of spicy sauce. Quite spicy indeed but not tongue burning. My son said I was'crying' from the sauce, probably consumed 1/4 of the provided squeeze bottle of spicy sauce on my 1/4 chicken. The shrimp appetizer was quite good (more would have been better as i would say but no complaint), & my son .a burrito afficonado says it may have been the best burrito he ever had (fried chicken burrito), I offered to trade him to ahve some chicken for some burrito but he declined. Good service, great food & parking a little sketchy but hey...
Service was n-ice & personable, & pretty quick A smaller place that dont look like much from the street, but when you know you know.....
Overall did not disappoint. Keep it up (just not the prices lol)

Decent bbq meats. The fried chicken was slightly dry. The ribs were good & tender but very very saucy. The smoked potato salad was amazing.
The service was sort of bad but the restaurant was packed so I don't blame them. They brought us the wrong food & 1 of the guests got his food almost as we were finishing ours.
