The table wasn’t ready for 45 minutes and then they told us they were no longer serving food due to a gas fire in the kitchen. They should have told us that right away so we didn’t waste time waiting.

And right now currently it’s decorated for Christmas. The food was amazing, I recommend the pimento brisket sliders. As well as the famous gumbo. Chef Lambo really lockdown, southern comfort food. Whenever I have friends craving really good southern food I always recommend hunters.
