"This place is one of a kind, as it offers an assortment of ingredients that top a biscuit. I ordered the Kickback Chicken with cheddar grits. Each bite of my biscuit had a unique flavor!" Yelper Amber S. enthused. "The chicken was seasoned really well and the goat cheese with jam topped it off just right. My grits were amazing! The consistency was just what I like (not too loose and not too thick.)"
