OMGooodness this was the best sausage I have ever had! Great place to have brunch. Wonderful food and great staff. A must go to when in Little Rock. Definitely will be back.

Stopped in here after reading reviews and trying to find a place that could accommodate someone with Celiac Disease. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and helpful. The food was very good.

Our favorite place in Little Rock! Think top-notch upscale southern food combined with being the best venue for live music in the city. Most weekend nights they have live acoustic music with no cover charge! It is in the South Main (SoMa) area which has a great vibe with restaurants and bars.

The brunch was good. I really want to go back here for dinner. The staff was nice and the ambiance was on point. Looks like they have a stage for a live band so I think it will be nice to come back and enjoy the food and live band.

Food had no flavor at all. I have the potatoes with the roast and the roast taste like water. The potatoes taste like potatoes with no seasoning. I don’t put salt and pepper on food but I did on this and put so much hot sauce on it. Food, drinks, and even my own debit card took forever to get back. Definitely will never go back here beyond below for a restaurant. 1 star not for the wait but for the food. The food was bland and not good at all I would rather go to McDonald’s

High points were the service and drinks. Was very busy, but was seated within 5 minutes.However, I did find everything I tried was very bland.The gravy was not seasoned well, it tasted of just flour as did the biscuits.The brisket hash was equally bland, mushy, was more like roast and taters. I expected a crispy hash not a Sunday pot roast! I needed some crispyness to break up all the mush but it wasn’t there. Also I thought for 15$ the portion was fairly small.The shrimp and grits. The shrimp was cooked well and generously portioned. But the grits themselves weren’t great and lacked flavor.I’d come back from drinks but I’d be leery of trying the brunch again.

Sunday brunch was very good. Make a reservation as it was very busy at 11:30. The staff was very hard working and tried to keep up with the full restaurant. Under the current labor conditions all you can do is have patience. Would certainly go back and eat here again.

Stop - let me save you the money. We arrived right as the evening staff began what we would expect as a busy Friday night, but we knew we needed to beat the crowd and we wanted to try a “new” restaurant to us. We just wish we wouldn’t have bothered at all. We had the fried chicken livers off the appetizer menu and the flavor was fine, but they were NOT fully cooked. We know what chicken livers look like cooked. We were glad we at least ordered the grilled sourdough appetizer, as this was basically the only palatable option. For our main course, I had between the buns Rico’s Fried Chicken Sandwich. This was basically Church’s three piece Fried Chicken with some additional seasoning on ONE soggy piece of bread and no mayo. The greens taste exactly like you would get out of a can, and the house pickles I guess were replaced with chow chow. We also ordered the Smoked Chicken and Dumplings…where to begin? The dumplings were still raw in the middle, so we basically brought the dog home a $16 dish of mush better served to our dog that doesn’t care what she eats. I can cook Southern, but this wasn’t it. If you want drinks, I imagine this is your place- oh, and I almost forgot…the waiter literally hovered and watched us eat. Incredibly uncomfortable being stared at while you eat. We aren’t confrontational, and did not want to complain. But this is your opportunity to save yourself 60 bucks for something you can make better at home. Lesson learned. Next time, we will read the reviews of the next “new” restaurant to us we want to try. Hope this helps save you the $60 we wasted.

This was our first visit in several years, and it lived up to the font memories! Staff are helpful , food is innovative and plentiful, patrons are friendly, and the music is great! We were able to get a table with a short-notice reservation at 545pm, but they were booked solid for the night after 615. We saw the jazz band setting up at 715pm but left before they began jamming.

An excellent Sunday Bruch, with live music. The Biscuit Appetizer came with biscuits of course but included good gravy and very tasty Apricot Jam. We had Eggs Benedict one traditional with country ham and one with salmon, both were excellent.
