"We started with freshly brewed iced tea, which tasted vibrant and not like typical tea from a bag. Normally, I wouldn’t mention my drink in a review, but as a bit of an iced tea enthusiast, I have to say I finished it so quickly that I never even saw the bottom of the glass.
For our appetizer, we ordered spinach dip, which often turns out to be a greasy mess of cheese. However, this one was different. It featured bright green spinach, perfectly cooked, combined with large chunks of artichoke, all bubbling in just the right amount of cheese to make it a dip. It was served with a generous portion of fresh, toasted baguette, cut at an angle and lightly seasoned with oil and herbs. It was exceptional.
Next, I ordered the double-cut pork chop, accompanied by bacon jalapeño mac and cheese and mashed potatoes, while my wife chose the shrimp and grits. I have to say, both of us couldn't help but let out a delighted exclamation upon taking our first bites of what has become one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. The pork was cooked to perfection, juicy on the inside with a crispy exterior reminiscent of hot cracklings. The seasoning was just right, and it came with a dipping glaze that initially puzzled me since I'm not a big fan of sweet flavors. But it complemented the pork beautifully, leaving me feeling quite nostalgic.
Now, about the mac and cheese—normally, I avoid ordering it, as it often feels overdone and boring. However, the addition of jalapeños always entices me. I could not believe how delicious it was—fresh jalapeños nestled in a gooey cheese sauce with bacon. Absolutely amazing. The mashed potatoes were also terrific.
As for my wife’s shrimp and grits, they were nothing short of remarkable—perfectly cooked shrimp paired with sausage, onions, cheese, spices, and butter. It was so rich that I’d recommend sharing it among a few people unless you're a massive fan of grits, as the incredible flavor can become a bit overwhelming over time.
We didn’t order dessert, but the prices here are very reasonable given the quality of the food. You should definitely visit. I’m confident that anything you order will be a fantastic rendition of that dish."
