Definite potential. Service is good and a nice atmosphere. I went here as my wife met with a friend for dinner. The place was close and looked promising so I checked it out. I started with fried green tomatoes, which were good but I think the batter wasn’t fully cooked through. But I would order again. For my main meal I had the Charleston chicken, which was a solid choice. Well priced, tasty, and filling. Finally, I closed my meal out with the key lime pie, which was great. Overall, I think this restaurant deserves your visit.
I especially recommend the jalepeno honey pulled chicken, whether as a salad, sandwich, or nachos. The fried sweet pickles are a favorite appetizer my out-of-town family keep asking for. when they’re here.
The 815 Biscuit appetizer is a must-try. It uses sweet potato biscuits but they’re not sweet at all so they go perfectly with the salty Virginia country ham and the lump blue crab meat and white gravy.
The chicken fingers are also a must-try. Very generous portion, more like multiple chicken schnitzels because these are pounded a little flat (but still thick) and breaded with nice thick flour batter.
THAT REMOULADE SAUCE. Best ive ever had.
And those poboys are great too. I got a oyster/crawfish combo. Very generously stuffed.
All the best to Nick and we wish him and his establishment all the best. Give that man a promotion !
The service was great. We were greeted and seated immediately. Our waiter was awesome and very attentive to our needs (refilling glasses, bringing us more napkins and condements, etc. without us having to ask.). He had a pleasant smile and a warm personality that made you feel welcomed.
The food was delicious! I had the fried green tomatoes for my appetizer and the blackened catfish for the entree. I highly recommend both!
We plan to go back. It was a great experience, especially for a busy Saturday.
