I had a birthday brunch for my daughter on Saturday. We drove from Benson for the shrimp and grits, only to find that it was only on Sundays. So we ordered the jambalaya and the red beans and rice. Our disappointment quickly faded because both of these dishes were fantastic! Our waiter ( I wish I could remember his name) was one of the best. He even brought my daughter a piece of rum cake with a candle for her birthday! We will definitely be visiting again.

An awesome restaurant in a unique location! We ordered the Shrimp & Grits and the Gumbo over rice and were completely satisfied. Great taste and great portions. The strawberry lemonade was great too! Planning to stop by again during my next visit to Durham.

It was our first time here and we definitely will be back! The food was incredible. We had the Smoked Brisket Plate, the Shrimp Creole (Special of the night), and the Rum Cake (not pictured). The service was also excellent.

The server was great the restaurant looks really hipsterish, not in a bad way or anything like that. It’s fitting , really nice inside. The cauliflower with hot honey was amazing, highly recommended. Little disappointed in the brisket though. Seemed like it was cooked in the oven over being smoked. Not that it was bad but was a little tough, only reason as to why the three star rating. Also if the server does read this review, we did find the Brunswick stew. Thank you very much! Would recommend this place and would love to come back when we’re in the area.

This is a hidden gem. You walk inside to an instant New Orleans vibe. The specials delivered on creativity and taste. I had the short ribs omelet with crispy breakfast potatoes. Their sangria was delicious as we’re the beignets with rum sauce. I can’t wait to return for the Mardi Gras celebration.

I’m from Louisiana and have a very different palate! This was great! This was my second experience just for a heat check and it was great!
I had the Loaded potatoes and the burnt ends! Some of the best I’ve ever had!
I’m putting them on our monthly rotation until we’ve done the menu

Loved the brisket and red beans and rice. Also got the succotash on the side and wish I got a bowl of it. Great flavors, brisket was nice and smoky lots of flavor and juicy.

An excellent restaurant. We had the brisket, the fried seafood plate, and a side of gumbo. Each dish was perfectly cooked, rich in flavor, and beautifully presented. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere felt comfortable and inviting.

Ended up eating there while attending a painting party run by @DavidUnderwood – held Wednesdays at 6:30 – 9 pm. Food was incredible, staff was helpful and present even in the back room event. The painting thing is SOOO much fun- all materials are supplied and a master painter is there to assist. two HUGE thumbs up.

Service/Vibes: Rustic/homey/festive decor, has bar seating. Service was fine.
Food:
Brisket plate: Brisket was kinda inconsistent. Some of it was tender and moist, some was kinda hard and dry. Some of the potatoes were a touch undercooked, but crispy outside and well seasoned. The cabbage slaw was vinegary and a nice cut against the heaviness of the other food.
Gumbo: Seemed a bit on the salty side, but comes with a piece of very light, airy, and crusty bread
