Provided by YPmobileWhen I think of this restaurant I think of not being able to hear the person two seats away. Between the large number if customers, high ceilings, and loud music, I find it difficult to enjoy the meal. The food is Southern, but not blue plate. Not just fried fish, but encrusted fried fish. All recipes are up scaled. Veggie portions a bit small for my liking. I've always gone with friends on an incite, but never chose to go there on my own. I guess it's the loud acoustics that overpower my enjoying a meal.
