Nina LoSchiavo: Anything with eggs will be great - go for the country pie and make sure they bring apple-topped corn bread to your table!
Pauline King: I had the farmer sandwich, which was great, but the corn bread with apple compote was amazing! you have to ask for the bread.
Robert Gaal: A good selection of beers, corn bread for the table, chicken pot pie, a killer fish of the day always. Nuff said.

adelina: The best jalapeño cornbread and it's complimentary
Valerie Brown: My southern roots find the fried chicken dish to be among the best here along with the short rib. They bring you corn bread at dinner and not at brunch which is an issue because it's delish.
Chantal Salomon-Lee: The tuna sandwich is frightfully good! And the cornbread they give you, yowza!
Gothamist: For sides, opt for the stellar, creamy mac 'n cheese and sweet cornbread with ancho honey butter, and wash your meal down with a glass of Sweet Tea served in a 16 ounce Mason Jar. Read more.
Harry Raymond: Moist brisket with sweet potato, cornbread and coleslaw.
Angie: Super friendly staff and pretty efficient for getting the food at the counter considering the long line. The moist brisket was great plus the bbq sauce added a good kick. The corn bread was amazing!

The Corcoran Group: Despite the crowds, you won’t wait long to dive into Train Wreck Fries, Virgil’s Pig Out, Corn Bread, Virgil’s Coleslaw and Cheese Grits with a Fall Off The Porch Ice Tea.
Jane K: The corn bread is great. Has corn kernels in it. It comes with maple syrup butter, which is amazing. Also try Georgia chicken fried steak. Big portion with 2 sides. Totally worth it.
Sebastian: Got the pick 3. Not necessarily worth the price.Mac & Cheese, Cornbread, and fries were amazing though.

Hershel Guerrant: Food is bangin!!! Buffet of soul food. the mac and cheese and collards are the best

SizzleMel: A gem of the neighborhood! Diner food (omelette/pancake/burgers etc.) done really, really well. Strong coffee. Awesome pies. Great prices!!
K A: Blackened salmon complemented nicely with an even spicier, creamy and sweet slaw. I chose not to have the fries which admittedly look epic.

Eric Grant: Their combo dishes are great, especially with the mac & cheese side. Not a fan of their bland guacamole or the unusual "buns," which are just sandwiches made with very thick pieces of cornbread.
Rob: The cornbread is very legit. Get the burnt end brisket burrito, worth it. The Arnold Palmero is tops. Wish I had know about this place sooner.
Kimmie Ohh: Get cornbread, brisket taco, tuna ceviche tostada & seasonal guacamole.
