A Taste of Southern Comfort

Best place 4 brunch. Make a reservation as they fill up fast…especially on Sundays! Get the Tennessee Hot Chicken sandwich (sous vide). Perfectly crunchy ever so slightly w/ a hint of sweet honey drizzled/smothered (very surface level), lovely hot sauce w/ the right amount of bite, & sour pickle.

Brunch selection was excellent! Supper friendly staff. Nashville hot chocolate sandwich was just the right amount of heat. Fries were perfect. Great beer selection and interesting cocktails. I swear there was a time warp because it only seemed like 1-2 minutes and are food was in front us, correct, fresh, and piping hot. Would definitely go again.

Fantastic food, in a cozy setting. Chicken and waffles were flavorful and absolutely perfect. Beautiful smoke ring and smokiness to the ribs. Grits with cheese were an excellent side that I would not usually order. Fried green tomato appetizer was excellent. Generous portions, and a lot of food for the price. Will be back next time I’m in Albany.

We had a wonderful experience overall. Great service, amazing food, at a fair price. Parking can be challenging as the restaurant is located in an urban area. Luckily they have a small parking lot behind the building. The exterior and interior decor was nice and welcoming. The establishment lacks good handicap parking or access but can be accommodating with some assistance. Great place, we will return.

The food was good. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The appetizers were kinda disappointing. They are really over priced for what you get in my opinion. We ordered fried pickles for 13 dollars. It was a nice presentation, but not even a whole pickle. It was done in spears instead of chips and the pickle flavor was lost. Fried green tomatoes for 13 dollars consisted of 3 tomato slices.... There is nothing out of the ordinary about the atmosphere. Very clean.

Went for chicken and waffles. Note they don't skimp on chicken. Very crispy and delicious. The pieces are a little like KFC, though -- it's hard to tell a thigh from a breast the way they're cut. The chicken did tend to have a slightly chewy texture, not particularly juicy, but not dry. The waffles are fabulous -- light and crisp, served with bourbon syrup. We couldn't resist starting with biscuits, also crisp and light and served with honey butter. Can't really miss here. You will be stuffed.
