"So LRoth and I randomly wandered in here one night after some Christmas shopping. They were decently busy so we got seated on some high tops at the bar. The place is cozy with eclectic decor in a good way not a cheesy knick knack way. The pork belly burnt ends were amazing. Tender and flavorful. Pairing with pickles helps cut through the fat and savoriness with acidity. We also tried the poutine fries. Gravy had amazing flavor. Fries were crispy. Lack of cheese was not an issue. We tried the Thanksgiving sandwich and the fried chicken sandwich. Turkey was a bit dry on the Thanksgiving sandwich, and it didn't hit with a ton of flavor. The fried chicken sandwich was delicious. Great crisp with great flavor in the breading. Corn bread with the butter was fantastic. Mac and cheese was so creamy with a night crust. We did come two days later. Tried the pulled pork sandwich, which was amazing. Juicy and tender pork with great flavor. We also got shrimp and grits. Grits were creamy but the sauce/gravy to grits ratio was too high. Definitely needed more grits to thin out the sauce. We also got a side of biscuits. These were okay. A bit heavy on the breading and not as crumbly as I would've liked. Felt more like bread than a biscuit. For dessert, we got a chocolate pecan pie. So flavorful without being overwhelmingly sweet. Over all, a place I'd recommend trying!"
