Fun times! Very informative staff, great service and excellent food. We were informed that this needs to be a place to visit. Our informant did not let us down. Southern, not Cajon or Creole food, good/great stuff. From Nashville hot chicken, Poboy sandwich, shrimp and grits with fried okra. Loved every bit of it. Sorry, no picture of the fried cauliflower it was gone before a picture could be taken. It's definitely one of our top 5 in Lincoln.
My husband and I arrived on a Saturday night at 6:25 and was seated at a dirty table. The waiter didn’t notice and was going to set the menu’s down until I told him that it was dirty. He asked me if I wanted to move to next table over, but that didn’t very either. So he went and got a towel and wiped the table down. The place was packed and only one empty table available. It took over 10 minutes to give our order. My husband ordered a beer and I got a hurricane. We both noticed how warm it was in the restaurant and notice a fan blowing by the front door. We found out that their air conditioning had broke days ago. I wasn’t sweating, but diffidently uncomfortable. We waited to get our food for over an hour! Our Nashville hot chicken & waffles arrived at 7:45. Unacceptable!!! A couple that was at the next table over received their chicken 5 minutes before us and they sat down 15 minutes after us. Not ONCE did Max give us any communication that the kitchen is behind or it’s going to be a long wait to get your food! Not once was there an apology or Anything said to us the whole time waiting! I watched several people walk in and didn’t even get greeted so they left. By the time we finally received our food, my husband was pretty upset. He said something to the female waitress that dropped it off about how the chicken looked and he wasn’t even finished before she interrupted him. In a very condescension manner she said it’s fried and walked away. I had been watching her serve tables while sitting so long and she was not happy about something. Never a smile, but scaling the whole time, like she didn’t want to be there. Not friendly at All. She said something to manager so he came over and talked to my husband. We somewhat understood, but there was NO excuse for poor communication, temperature inside of restaurant and getting your food in a timely manner. Manager stated they ran out of the breaded chicken at lunch, which has never happened. So he was breading the chicken with every order they received. He also stated they only have two fry baskets. If half of your menu is fried, you should not have only one fryer. Your setting yourself up for failure. Manager stated since owner was not in the kitchen cooking it wasn’t running very smoothly and she was at the wing fest. I had been there for lunch previously and only a few people were there. It still took 20 minutes to get my food. I thought oh just fluke. I know now why it takes so long. The chicken was delicious and that’s probably the reason why we waited so long to get it. I was starving by the time I got my food that I ate it way to fast and was ready to get into cooler temperatures. Manager was nice and we appreciated him trying to explain. Max was very friendly and nice, but needs to work on communication. This experience has left my husband very exasperation where I’m not sure we will be back.
Yaassss soul food!! The greens 🥬 felt like my grandma was in there! And the cornbread was light fluffy and sweet. The wings had a savory sweet flavor and a nice crunch. I would have add a little more seasoning to the fish but overall it was good with the onions and hot sauce I ate ALL of my food. The strawberry lemonade embodied southern sweetness
As you can see, my husband couldn’t wait for the camera to eat first. 😂 Had the Nashville hot chicken strips and waffle with fried cauliflower and mac ‘n cheese. Delicious! Will definitely be coming back. Our only comment is that we were hoping for a bar/cocktail menu. Overall great place!
First off, the food was INCREDIBLE. 5 stars in that regard. We got the cheesy fries as an appetizer and the sauce was incredible. The fries were well seasoned and there was plenty to go around for 3. I had their Big Smooth sandwich and it was amazing. They did everything right - buttered and toasted brioche bun, seasoned (but not too spicy) chicken, a maple waffle in the middle. Yum! This service on this place needs some work though. I think they must be a newer place. Their menu has no description for any of their items, which was a bit of a hassle to figure out what was what, especially for the sandwiches. Service was also very slow. It probably took somewhere around 45 minutes or so to get our food from when we first sat down. Overall, great place to eat, and I hope the owners can improve their menu and service soon! Look forward to coming back. Edit: their service got WAY better. Up to 5 stars they go!
