Brodie OlmsteadDecember 10, 2016Trendy spot with delicious Southern food. The fried chicken is not to be missed. If you don't want to wait for a table, you can sit at the bar. Make sure you say hi to Rusty!
Mike WinstonApril 15, 2015These delicious Carolina-inspired Southern dishes highlight all the California fresh ingredients well. Don't miss the Fried Chicken, Fry Basket, or Buttermilk Pie. Read more on WinstonWanders below!! Read more
- J JohnMarch 16, 2018One of the best restaurants in San Francisco hands down. Everything is decadent and expertly prepared. Chicken fried steak, fried chicken, southern Mac & Cheese, peach cobbler. A++++
Charlene NaughtonOctober 13, 2017Service is great. The owners serve as front of house and take good care of you. The Carolina BBQ is not my thing, but the fried chicken and biscuits are the real deal.
Tim MacalinoOctober 26, 2017Country fried steak and fried brussel sprouts with parm. Mashed potatoes comes with too. Great yummy portions for sure!!
Byron WilkesJune 16, 2016The catfish was served atop a soup-like beans side dish, dampening the otherwise perfectly fried fish. Truly a shame. Fried chicken great, as were biscuits n pepper jelly.
Anton ShusterApril 14, 2015The burger is topped with whiskey cheddar, remoulade on a brioche bun, and only a dozen are served each night—get there early if you want one.
Joshua NessFebruary 28, 2016Great food and great craft beers on tap. Sit at the bar if Rusty is behind it. You'll thank me later.
Chris MessinaJuly 3, 2016The Griddle Cakes are a solid, decadent choice. Unlike most pancakes. More like dense funnel cake!
- Lears FoolNovember 18, 2015The apps are basic, but the entrées were tasty. The catfish's slaw is a perfect pairing. The pie crusts make dessert worth it.
Elad OssadonOctober 6, 2016Burger is friggin delicious. They claim to make only 12 a night so make sure they have it.
- Aeryn S.August 18, 2016They only make 12 burgers a night? If they haven't run out yet when you're there, order one. Perfectly cooked, and the fries were great.
- Jiexi CaoOctober 14, 2017This is some pricy southern food, but they do that sweet tea right (refills!) Service was A+. Kitchen was slow on a not-so-busy night. Try the pork chops.
Luke AndrewsAugust 13, 2015Great beer selection on tap. The Carolina-style barbecue is delicious and my, oh my, buttermilk pie. 😍
Zoë BrugmanOctober 19, 2018Everything! The service, the delicious ribs (and all other food) and the cozy vibe.
Max WennekerSeptember 21, 2016Good not great. Bourbon barrel ale is well worth ordering. Biscuits dry, hush puppies dry, Mac and cheese lacking flavor.
Melon LOctober 21, 2015Food is kind of disappointing. BBQ plate in particular got old after the first few of bites. Hushpuppies not flavorful and a bit dry. Sure hope brunch is better..
