2.0 of 5 stars. I've got to bump this one up a star because I went there the other day and actually had some pretty good chicken wings and creamed spinach. A family get-together drove me to this previously derided...

House Salad!

The California Dreaming salad is amazing. The house dressing is something you can only get in the south and a must try! The resturant has great southern charm and wonderful prices.
