I love corn bread, so it was no surprise when that was the first thing I picked off the menu. The cornbread was shaped as a muffin. It was warm, moist and had the perfect amount of sweetness, probably one of the better corn breads I've tasted. I wasn't a fan of the sauce served on the side though, it was like some sort of lukewarm tomato and beef mince chili, without the chili.
I had the "Aunt Lilly Mae's BBQ ribs" that came with a side of southern potato salad. The meat was falling of the bone and topped with tangy and sweet BBQ sauce. The sauce really was delicious; if it weren't for fellow diners, I would have picked up my plate and licked it clean. The potato salad although not all that different from a regular potato and egg salad, was very tasty and seasoned well. Only down side of this dish, was the size. It was pretty small for a half rack and even with the addition to the side salad, and half a corn bread, I wasn't completely satiated afterwards. Unless you're a light eater, you really have to order a few extra sides or at least a large size of ribs.

The restaurant isn't fancy inside or out and decor seems a little outdated, but it's cosy and humble and has a lot of interesting memorabilia to check out while you wait for your food. The music played in the background is pretty great, it was a mix of jazz, soul and blues when I was there. Although the food was a little bit expensive for the amount you get, it was still delicious and I definitely want to come back for more ribs and maybe a hoagie and some wings too. Sometimes you just have to splurge a little to get good food.
