Tricia Childress says "Owners James and Renee Bazzelle create delectable Low Country and Southern country dishes. Service is solicitous, art provocative, food down-home and honest, and prices incredibly low."
		says "The pork chops are widely considered the finest in the city, served with two sides and a mini-loaf of sweet cornbread. You'll ask for seconds of your veggies; mashed potatoes and red beans and rice are solid choices in this category, along with more traditional choices and macaroni and cheese."
		says "Owner/Chef James Bazzelle, a Georgia native, serves mouthwatering southern dishes taken a few steps further than other country cooking places. Shrimp and grits come heavily seasoned with a touch of gravy stirred in. Under no circumstances should you leave without tasting the macaroni and cheese or the banana pudding. Loyalty may prevent you from saying aloud that they're better than your mama's, but you'll know the truth."
