Xavier KadmielJanuary 23, 2018Hands down and up the best Chicken and Waffles you'll have in Birmingham. Great service, good atmosphere and exceptional value in the prices. Will be back again to try the rest of the menu! Lol
Brian POctober 12, 2016Pleasant little gastro spot. Nice local beer selection, good wines and service. Had the Crispy Duck, which was cooked properly (for a leg quarter) although the Soy glaze was a bit salty for my taste.
Rami IsmailFebruary 17, 2018Came her on a recommendation for the Mac & Cheese, and we were disappointed. The breaded trout is a solid alternative. For dessert, the bread pudding is phenomenal. Traditional feel, great service.- The Parmesean crusted trout was awesome! For the appetizer we tried the Fancy bacon which did not disappoint! Definitely try it when you are there!
Classic standbys are Mac and cheese or Chicken and Waffles ❤ Before you make a final decision, wait to hear about the daily specials - usually made a local ingredients!- Jackie HagueJanuary 6, 2018Dark chocolate bread pudding is a must. Shrimp and grits phenomenal. The Fish and Chips were impressive.
Alan YouSeptember 27, 2014Give the Three Little Pigs a shot if you're looking for some fancy mac and cheese.
Jane MarascoOctober 4, 2016Mac and cheese ... and turkey club were excellent .. and more than we could eat ...
- Jennifer CarusoJuly 25, 2013Chicken and waffles by far the best meal ever. You won't regret this one!
DiscoverBhamApril 4, 2013Try the meatloaf! It's amazing! And they close for lunch at 2:30 and open again for dinner
FE LormilFebruary 22, 2015We had a reservation, waited "cause they were so slammed." Several servers, not waiting on tables, and still we were not seated. 15 minutes later, we left.
- Hollie SickJanuary 30, 2017Was extremely disappointed they were out of chicken and waffles. Wish their hours weren't so limited
