The creaminess and smooth texture and flavoring reminded me of my grandmothers candy yams in mashed form so kudos to them on that. My lady had mashed sweet potatoes and it too was very yummy. So if more shrimp was in the dish I'd definitely give them 5 stars hands down. The shrimp and bbq sauce they use was delicious and I could of easily eating another 5 more. Now yes I'm aware that grits expand and most of its absorption is during the cooking process so the grit amount I was ok with but the shrimp I could have definitely had more than 4 jumbo pieces specially considering they still had tails on which takes away from the jumbo size of it if you don't bite pull and twist correctly each time. The wait for the food wasn't too long despite the crowd so I was pleased with that, however, once my dish arrived I was a lil set back on the portion size specially after the price. For Entree's my lady ordered the 3 veggie plate and I ordered the bbq shrimp and grits. Molasses although sweet has that smokey flavor and you can only stomach but so much. We got the appetizers of sweet potato biscuits with butter and molasses which wasn't to bad.

Hey, it was a busy night so ok free pass. I'm certain they skipped the sugar cube, poured in 85% bourbon or rye and used 0 dashes of anything esle, we were not pleased with that drink. Normally an old fashioned consist of a sugar cube, bourbon or rye whiskey, dashes of plain water and 2 dashes of angostura bitters with a orange for the citris and a cherry garnish to top it off. So we ordered a ' Old fashioned' and it was savorless. We ordered our normal, water, but decided to get an adult drink to split as well. Our waitress for the night greeted us and asked us about drinks. We reviewed the menu and the selections were pleasing to read. The Bar was huge and took up a lot of space as well. The overall size of the restaurant was a lot smaller than i had pictured it would be. The place was packed in a matter of minutes which confirmed to us why it was a great idea to jump in the line despite the rain. The table had a lil candle, we could see the entire restaurant, and we were close to the bathrooms. We were seated in the back right hand corner in what we called the 'nook' which wasn't bad. They open doors and staff immediately began to seat the line of people outside the door. We figured they know something we didn't know so lets get in on it early to be safe. We noticed people forming a line outside the door and decided to join them despite the light rain coming down. We got there around 4:45pm and realized they didn't open til 5pm so we visited a few stores around that area in walking distance. Was a Saturday afternoon and perfect strolling weather thru downtown ( the first 15 mins :-! ) My lady recommended the location I'm reviewing and I heard a lot of great things in the beginning but then heard mixed reviews the later years so decided to see what the hype was.
