• OMG! This food was sooooo good. Delicious! I had the Mac and cheese, greens, and fried chicken. They welcome you with a piece of cornbread, which was excellent, when you are seated. Very nice touch.

• Took my boyfriend here for his birthday, we loved it. They pride themselves on having great food, not the best waiter/waitress service; the food made up for it though. Peach cobbler is a must have!

• Huge disappointment in this establishment as the food was average at best. I noticed that most of the positive comments were made a few years ago, so I can only assume the quality has gone downhill.

  by Stephanie B.

  
  

• The food is just average. The salmon cakes I had were barely seasoned. The macaroni n' cheese was good. The sweet tea was ok. Service was good but I probably won't go back during my stay in Charlotte.

• Southern and Low Country dishes prepared with heart by owners James and Renee Bazelle at this Uptown favorite where everybody takes out-of-town guests. It's Charlotte's version of NYC's Sylvia's.

  by Creative Loafing

  
  

• Incredible cornbread! Had the soul sampler. Chicken fingers are way too salty. Beef ribs are smokey and tender. Friendly staff.

• The Shrimp and Grits are a must have. Get as much cornbread as you can because no restaurant does it this good. Shrimp Creole was amazing, have plenty of sweet tea to wash it down though.
