Read all the great reviews and decided we would come here when we were visiting our son in Athens - a Sunday. Love the building, love the atmosphere, service was spot on. Parking is tight. The food was OK. Definitely hit and miss.The hush puppies are some of the best I’ve ever tasted. But the fried green tomatoes are really really thick and when you bite into them, it’s like biting into a really hard, uncooked unpleasant thing. The coleslaw tasted weird. The oysters were delicious, don’t bother with the crawdaddy hash because it’s all potatoes with a few oversalted tiny almost bitter tasting crawfish thrown in and as the photo here shows, the onions and peppers weren’t even cooked. Not even a hint of hitting a pan.Neither were the mushrooms, but I ended up eating those. The poached egg was perfect. My husband loved his burger and he’s very picky about his burgers, so that’s something. My son liked but not loved the black beans and rice and also the red mule grits were quite good. Our server apologized and said it was shift change, but shift change shouldn’t equate to careless or bad cooking. Ever. Won’t be back. 😔

The atmosphere is beautiful. The food presentation is spot on . Unfortunately, the foods flavor is a little lacking. The sea food is good but I was not impressed. Coming from Maine where seafood is top-notch. I guess I'm a bit spoiled.

My fiancé and I just went for the first time and we absolutely loved it. The surf and turf was 10/10! Also recommend the grouper and gouda mac and cheese. All of the food and drinks were great as well as the service. Casual, comfortable atmosphere. Definitely going again and bringing my family next time they visit!
