The Mac and cheese was top notch but the standout performer is the Sweet tea. That stuff is addictive and once they sell out there is no more being bad. The butter sauce for the fried lobster tail is hands down the greatest and I recommend putting it on everything you can. It can get crowded but the line moves along and be warned fried lobster takes forever so call it in as someone has to wait almost 25 minutes for the sole item.”
