Really enjoyed my experience at this southern comfort food restaurant, especially as this type of food can't be found where I live. The menu had multiple options that were speaking to my soul, but the Nashville Chicken and Waffles won me over. These might be the most phenomenal chicken and waffles I've ever had, the infused jalapeno in the waffle batter was very well done, was very balanced and not overpowering. It made the waffle go excellently with the wonderfully coated Nashville style fried chicken. It was a cool atmosphere that wasn't flashy but comfortable. They were playing straight 90's Hip Hop the whole time which I was vibing to the whole time. I didn't have any drinks but the bar was well-stocked, featuring all sorts of moonshine-derived or inspired mixers. The server was awesome, he treated me with that southern hospitality. Thoroughly awesome experience.

The DJ has the people up on their feet and dance. He is a super cool dude. The food is a 10 out of 10, the service is always on point and the environment is always fun. I go to this place at least once a month.

Had one of the best brunches I’ve had in Dallas here! Things pick up around 1 on Sunday and it is such a fun time with the live DJ! I had the chicken and waffles off of the brunch menu and it was phenomenal! Can’t wait to go back and try more items!!

It's a whole vibe! Went with my cousins for our monthly brunch and walked away completely satisfied. Except for the bottomless mimosas. "Bottomless" is an automatic note to self that there's minimal champagne in the mimosa. As for the food, it's top-tier. I got the shrimp and grits along with a Belgian waffle. I don't know what they use, but they're the BEST waffles I've ever eaten! The shrimp and grits are cheesy. They shrimp could be broiled/grilled, in my opinion, because they look like they came thawed out of a bag of frozen shrimp, but it's still good. And make sure you ask for your syrup to be heated. It makes the whipped butter melt perfectly. The DJ was playing the jams. They even had a karaoke type element to it. My one cousin even got on the mic, much to my horror , but we had a blast! If y'all haven't been to this spot, I highly suggest you go.

I dont think there is 1 item that would not slap here. We enjoyed the fried boudin appetizer, crawfish in butter sauce, all you and eat fried catfish. It came out hella hot, fat, and crispy. Crazymely waffle had bananas, strawberries, whipped cream and Nutella. Insanely soft and delicious. And crawfish enchiladas with side of dirty rice and red bean. All were seasoned to perfection. We will definitely be back
