    Went for Thanksgiving. First time eating SCK. We were seated on the patio. In the corner by a stack of chairs. I’ve heard great things about the fried chicken. But, being Thanksgiving, I want to try the turkey breast dinner. Disappointed. Most of the meal was bland and the turkey lacked flavor. Wish I would have gone with the fried chicken. Paying $80 a person for a dinner that I didn’t enjoy. And to be seated in an area that had a stack of chairs right by the table, I honestly thought it was overpriced. I will say, our waitress was great. Don’t serve the turkey next year.

    The Thanksgiving menu options were great, but I have to tell you one small ‘negative’: at $79 per head (over $300 for 3 w/tax & tip), to see side charge of $3.50 for one soda, didn’t sit well. It’s a small thing, but would expect that maybe on a cruise ship.

    We ordered the spoon bread and fried green tomatoes as an appetizer and they were truly amazing. Our waitress Kenya was also very attentive and helped explained the menu and the amazing cocktails

    Service was a little too fast. The meals arrived before we had much time to enjoy our appetizer and cocktails.

    Seated on the patio when I requested standard and the fried chicken was dry and flavorless. Had to douse it in hot sauce to eat.
