5 /5 Pearl Lee: I have had this spot on my bucket list for a while but the only days we were able to drop in were when they were closed. However, we got the chance to check them out on Sunday morning after dropping off our dog for a grooming appointment. We entered and were greeted with a gorgeous restaurant that was blasting soul music. There were a few people ahead of us which was fine as we got to look at the menu to see what we wanted. Our cashier was polite with us and made sure to read back our order to ensure it was correct. It was nice to listen to her sing along with the music playing too.
I got the shrimp and grits while my boyfriend got the smoked turkey leg. Our order did take quite some time, like maybe 30-40 minutes but we enjoyed the vibes and each others company. We later find out from our cashier/cook who told us that she saw we were busy chatting and wanted to make a fresh batch of grits for me so Im grateful for that. The food was absolutely some of the best soul food that I think I had in Washington state, which I know may not be saying a lot but there are also a few Southern stables in Washington. The shrimp and grits were just heavenly and comforting. The smoked turkey leg is definitely worth the menu and you will be leaving with leftovers unless you have a big appetite. I also didnt know that it came with cornbread which was also so good as it is already sucked with some honey and it was just a fluffy sweet cloud. Just melts in your mouth! We also did get the sweet tea and it was probably one of the best sweet teas that I had ever had as it was simply refreshing!
My only complaint was that my shrimp and grits was supposed to come with egg but I did not receive egg in my order which was disappointing. I was so hungry though so I just ate my food without thinking to ask since the female employee did mention she made my grits fresh. Other than that, we are definitely wanting to come back to try out some other dishes!
