One of their highest reviewed foods is thier delicious and perfectly cooked fried green tomatoes. Order as an app an share with the table (or keep them all to yourself - we won't judge).
Of course, the name of this restaurant implies they have incredible chicken and waffles and with options like this sweet potato waffle and fried chicken combo, you will not be disappointed. Be sure to sample the home made peach butter while you're at it. It's heavenly!
For a great sampling of everything, try their grits and fried catfish with a heaping choice of sides. Their greens and mac and cheese are both huge hits.
