This place was really busy on a Tuesday evening for dinner. It was hard to find the hostess stand but we were able to locate it in the back of the restaurant. The service was a little disorganized but the guy managing the place was over the top with making up for the initial poor service we received. We were sitting down for 15 minutes before anybody noticed. There was also a mixup with our order as we were supposed to get the salad first but everything came at once. They quickly rectified the situation, by comping part of the meal and also bringing a peach cobbler, which was an added bonus. The fried green tomatoes were a little too fried, but the duck tater tots were absolutely amazing. The serving was pretty large, barely leaving room for dinner. The wedge salad was pretty good and the tomato bisque was just OK. The peach cobbler was fantastic. Overall, the service was really good and the atmosphere is energetic and hopping. I would go back for sure.

We came here for date night while in town and I’m so glad we did. Their food was amazing. For an app we ordered the oysters which were beyond flavorful. Dinner was their salmon and filet, then we shared a baked potato which was HUGE. The salmon skin was crispy while the salmon it’s self was soft and juicy. The sauce had a little kick to it but the roasted potatoes balanced it out perfectly. The filet was cooked correctly and was so tender it cut like butter. The flavor of it was amazing. Will definitely plan dinner here again. Reservations are HIGHLY recommended.

If you want some awesome people watching for Broadway, a lively place for a meal with ok food, this is your place. We were fortunate to reserve a table and they gave us a front row to the stream of people outside. The waiter was good - checked in on us at a good interval. The food was not that good. Tater tots were a “specialty”. Honestly, it wasn’t something they should be known for. The sauces were good, but the tots? Nothing special. Jambalaya - same. The BBQ sandwich was dry / bun was borderline stale and even the BBQ sauce had a hard time helping. I would give them a second chance due to the really close location. Other than the location, not my highest recommendation.

Got the duck fat tater tots, fried green tomatoes, French dip, and the pork chop between two people. With drinks, bill came out to $113 before tip. Tater tots were just fine and the green tomatoes were limp and sad (although the jam was pretty good). French dip was greasy and flavorless. Pork chop was good and the sauce was excellent. Service was attentive and pretty prompt. Would not come again.
