Brian Dela Pena: poutine, devil eggs, Mac and cheese, pop overs and Fried chicken!!
Julie Kang: Everything on the menu is masterfully crafted, except flavor leans salty. Cocktails, poutine, fried chicken, deviled eggs: great. Surprisingly transcendent: their salads.
Justin DiSanto: Fried chicken is excellent and the avocado and heart of Palm salad is tasty. Sitting by the fireplace can get warm and it's near the server station so high traffic.

gail.: We had a few starters: beignets, fried okra, & mac 'n cheese. I had their incredible fried chicken & waffles- the bacon in the waffles takes the dish over the top. Everyone left feeling fat and happy!
