Of the five adults in our party our favorite dish was the Salt & Pepper Beef Brisket Plate. The Fried Chicken Plate w/ Boneless Breast tasted good, but it was mostly breading. Our favorite sides were the Cheddar Grits, Collard Greens w/ Bacon, Apple Dixie Coleslaw, & Sauteed Beets and Greens. We didn't try the Mac & Cheese or the Creamed Corn. The Fried Pickles were yummy. Our favorite desserts were the Watermelon Soft Serve, and The Butterscotch Pudding. Two of us had the Watermelon Lemonade, and we loved it! I forget our servers name, but she was great! We all loved the atmosphere.
