It’s brined, dredged, then dropped into custom-built fryers. Its got a little kick and is served with our house made hot honey. Our sides are modern takes on down-home favorites. Made in house every day.The lively atmosphere is relaxed and upbeat — driven by a blues heavy soundtrack.

This was our first visit and overall we were quite pleased with all aspects. The food was superb!! My wife had scallops and I had sea bass which was just excellent! My wife will likely get sea bass next time. We will definitely be repeat customers.
