Another week of being obsessed with Fried Cornbread 😋

Our Fried Cornbread is made fresh to order. It spends a moment in the fryer, comes out sizzling, and gets a dusting of powdered sugar. Served with a side of our honey butter for the perfect sweet finish 🍯 Come give it a try, and while you're here, check out our exciting new menu additions. We can't wait to hear what you think! Open daily.

We don't make the rules

and that's the short version

Lincoln Square - thank you so much for your warm welcome... We have a pro tip for you this busy holiday/opening weekend: there will be a wait during peak hours. Want to eat delicious hot chicken quickly? Stop by after lunch/before dinner. 3-5pm is our slow time, and it's easier to get a table/takeout during these hours. At 6:30, there will be a line and wait for delicious hot chicken... Thank you for your support.
