food done right.

Owner Forbes Cross has forged an accessible menu of gourmet American fare, from fried catfish that's deboned tableside to our famous fried chicken and sour cream apple pie. With nightly featured entrees, happy hour food and drinks, and a special four-course menu for two, you’ll enjoy both the food and the value.
