Fun restaurant with friendly staff and great food. Oysters were decent, a little larger than I am used to and the cocktail sauce was a bit thick. We had small plates for sharing and the rest was excellent. Wings were crispy and meaty with flavorful spicy seasoning. Wedge salad was excellent. I only had a small piece of the hot chicken, which was spicy, but not as much as I expected from the description. Parking is on street/metered depending on the time of day.
Great breakfast! Long lines already at 8am, but worth it. Everything our group ordered was delicious. We cleaned our plates. The waiter was super friendly and struck up conversations about the book my friend had at the table, my other friend's minor league baseball hat, the trip he heard us mention we were on, etc. Not too expensive for a lobster dish, either, and the drinks were very reasonably priced. Lots of hot sauce options.
The food was delicious. Service was very good. They were able to seat us in about 15 minutes on a very busy Friday afternoon. The place is a little cramped though. We loved the fried chicken and pulled pork. The coffee was also very good. Parking can be difficult to find around the restaurant as it does not have a dedicated parking.
I stopped here on my way to Acadia and and back home from Acadia. It was very busy both times but parking was easy and I was seated quickly both times as I was by myself. The staff is very friendly and their motto is “Be Nice or Leave”. The first visit I had a Cuban, French toast, and a couple Bloody Mary’s. It was all delicious and it may be the best French toast I’ve ever had. The Cuban was also very tasty. The Bloody Mary is quite spicy but very good. I usually don’t like any bars/restaurants bloody Mary’s but this was a rare exception. My second visit it was just more French toast and bloodies. This place is a must if you like any of the items I mentioned. Just reserve a table if it’s more than yourself as this place gets busy quick and doesn’t have a lot of space.
Me and my roommate had a fabulous experience here. Our waitress was super friendly & accommodating. Our food was fresh and delicious. The best waffle and the best fried chicken I have ever had - and I lived in North Carolina for almost 4 years! Everything was excellent and we can't wait to be back!
