Wait staff was friendly. Place was fairly busy for a Tuesday, but they were still on their A game. Had a pork chop with slaw and yams. I've lived in NC for the last 20 years, and slaw and yams are basically staples here, but rarely together. The slaw was served over the yams, and the chop sat on top.

The slaw was simply the best I've ever had. I ordered this plate expecting to pick around the slaw, since it's not usually my favorite dish. It was crisp, not drenched in mayo nor vinegar, and was perfect. The yams were creamed, sweet and perfect. I'll bring people here when we're in town. Bravo.
