This eatery's been open less than a year, but it's already stolen my heart. My favorite dish: chicken & waffles. Those boneless chicken legs are Southern fried and delicious and served up with housemade waffle wedges made from scratch. Pair them with the smoked Gouda grits for the best wintertime stick-to-your-ribs breakfast you can get for the price. Other menu items include bacon-wrapped French toast on a stick and beignets with lemon curd.
