I'd go back for happy hour & pie
Coming from the South, I have very high expectations when it comes to soul food, and this didn't score so high compared to other Southern food I've had (with names like "the pit" and "the catfish shack"). It did, however, do several things really well. The best food of the night was the pecan pie with homemade whipped cream - my great aunt Connie can't make one better (and peacan pie is the only thing she can make). The sweet potato steak fries were fresh and tasty served with a nice aioli to cool them down. The cocktails were my favorite, esp. the grapefruit gimlet, with the cocktail list changing daily and happy hour $2 off all drinks from 5 - 7 pm, I cannot wait to go back to the bar. As for the fried chicken, mac n cheese, and cornmeal crusted catfish, eh, I've had better.

You do NOT come from Tennessee! You come from Miami - that's 3/4 Latin America, 1/4 southern MAX.
