Shrimp n Grits

I'll tell you WHAT-that Shrimp N Grits tho! ?and our waiter Mason was perfect, too! Definitely coming back!

Collard Greens with Smoked Turkey

I really do not care for collards greens I love mustard and turnip but after eating them from Neil St Blues I like them. They had very good flavor and they were tender. I will be ordering more in the further. Keep up the good work.
