Met a friend there for dinner. She liked the fried catfish and fries that she got. I got the 6 inch fried green tomatoes po’ boy. It was tasty, but I thought there could’ve been a couple more fried green tomatoes on it. The blackened cauliflower was tasty. The added sunflower seeds was an odd touch. But as a vegetarian, I can appreciate the added protein component. The biscuit was fine. Would’ve been nice for it to come with butter and/or jelly for those of us not eating it with the meal, but as a separate entity. I had to ask for butter and or honey and was given it free of charge. The drinks were good. I got a frozen hurricane—very good and my friend got the margarita. The seating is family style. Which is nice. Order type Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Group size 5-8 people Recommendation for vegetarians Somewhat recommend Vegetarian offerings Vegetarian menu or section Parking space Difficult to find parking Parking options Paid parking lot, Free street parking, Paid street parking Parking A little tough to find parking in that area. But doable. There is a paid parking lot across the street and paid parking on the street. But there is also free neighborhood parking, if you’re willing to walk. Kid-friendliness With the opening seating style, I think place would be good for families.
