text: Came here on our first visit to NC from California so I am not a local cuisine aficionado if you will Our goal was to intake as much southern cuisine as possible as this was the most southern state we had been to With that in mind I ordered the shrimp and grits and my partner ordered the fried chicken The shrimp were well cooked in a red sauce but there were not many and I did not find the sauce anything extraordinary I could not take the grits They were just too thick cheesy and rich I love cheese it is one of my main staples but I could not handle these and my partner agreed I would have much rather had her homemade white wine and garlic shrimp and grits which are also a while lot healthier than the heart attack on a plate I had She was also generally unimpressed with her fried chicken which also arrived a little cold Fried chicken should be piping hot The service was friendly and the place was very busy so it is clearly well liked however I would not go back
