So wanted to love this place, but alas... let's start with the good. Promptly seated, nice atmosphere, good vibe. Popular place, food well presented.

Service was good, and to her credit, when she asked about how we liked the fried pickles and I was less than enthusiastic she immediately offered to replace them.

Now the not so good. Bland. Just bland. The pickles had no zip. Consensus of the table. All you could taste was batter. The slaw, as has been mentioned in other reviews absolutely no flavor. All three of us picked at ours and didn't eat it. Surprised the kitchen has yet to address this. We all had the BTC. Bacon fried tomatoes and pimento cheese. Bacon was very good. Tomatoes disappointing, and skimpy. And finally, if I'm giving you $10.50 for a sandwich and some slaw, don't nickle and dime me by charging an extra $1. for a tablespoon of pickled jalapenoes.
