It's A Southern Thing: Kitchen & Bar

Loved it ... 3 shrimp w/ grits, shrimp po boy, mac n cheese wth blackened chicken & chicken Calabasas & didn't disappoint on any entree! This was after some fabulous hush puppies & we passed around some banana pudding & pecan pie ... this place delivered & the service was spot on! We will be back we thoroughly enjoyed this new addition to freedom drive!

I actually came in the second day they opened for their shrimp and grits. The best I've ever had. Came in with a couple friends last night and was blown away by the crab cakes. I already made reservations for my birthday in two weeks. Looking forward to exploring more of their unique menu. Genesis was our server last night and even though this is her first job as a server, she acted like a seasoned Pro.

When my wife & I entered, we were immediately greeted by staff where my eyes focused on all the draft taps at the bar, 23 looking at the menu. I ordered Short Fuse Brewing's German Chocolate Stout which came in a 10 oz Mason Jar and was good.
This is our first experience at NC southern style cooking so we were eager to try it out.
My wife ordered the Pete-Loaf, half beef, half bacon which came with crispy fried Brussels & substituted chorizo & avacado hash. The meatloaf was good, the brussel sprouts & hash was very good. I ordered the Pulled Pork BBQ which was good with the NC BBQ sauce but I didn't care for it with the fries (I am a diehard ketchup fan w/fries). The greens & hushpuppies were very good. We will definitely come back to try more food & beers.
