Took my husband here for his birthday and it did not disappoint! Our Server, Kat, was amazing and recommend some appetizers. We decided to try the Smoke Salmon and the Cast Iron Corn Bread. The Smoked Salmon was amazing- if you like medium cooked salmon and the Cast Iron Corn Bread was AMAZING! It had a hint of spice to it yet was sweet. We then got the Maryland Crab Cakes & Southern Shrimp & Grits. My Crab cakes were full of crab so definitely a good choice. My husband's Shrimp & Grits were super flavorful. The ambiance was intimate, business causal wear, efficient, and cozy. Defintely would come back again.

Had dinner at 131 MAIN-Southfork based on a friend’s recommendation. And we are so glad we did. The ambiance was very relaxing with the jazz music playing softly. Our servers (counted 4) were so attentive, polite, having a sense of humor, and were extremely helpful. Our food was delicious. We started with the recommended cast iron cornbread. And it was better than what we expected. My husband and I jokingly call it our undercover dessert because it has a sweet taste, especially with a drizzle of honey. I had the shrimp and grits. I want to say thank you for peeling the whole shrimp. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his wedged salad and blackened chicken pasta. Our adult beverages were good. For me, I will definitely ask for the sugar for my margarita next time rather than having the salt (personal preference). Ended our evening with casual conversation around the fire pit. We will definitely be back the next time we are in the Charlotte area. Thanks again for a positive dining experience in Queen City 👑🏙️👌🏾❤️.

This restaurant has always been for years my favorite. They won my heart and taste buds from the beginning just from the absolutely best ribs I’ve ever had and the staff always amazing. But this evening they became family🥹. Since I moved to Columbia sc, I have to make an hour and a half trip to visit, which I do so once every few months because I miss this restaurant so much. Currently 4 months pregnant and craving my ribs and my birthday in a few days i figured id make the trip. I came in to a busy Saturday, there was a wait but it was so worth it. Serena was my server, what a sweet spirit! Being alone i sometimes feel like the odd one out. She was like a close friend I was coming to visit and her service was amazing. I work in the service industry, so I appreciated her that much more for it. I told her I’d made the trip for my ribs, I suppose word got to management and I am so sorry I cannot remember this angelic young woman’s name but she wore glasses with dark hair. Both these women were angels.. the past few months have been exceptionally difficult for me and the comfort of food is what I was seeking. This woman then explained to me that the restaurant was wanting to take care of my entire bill for me😭😭😭. It took everything I had not to cry my eyes out, in a world where it is sometimes hard to simply connect with another human being in such a pristine and classy establishment as much as they are amazing I just was not expecting such a kind gesture… I hope they know what a an impact they had on me. Not because of a free meal but making me FEEL.. less alone when I came all by myself. The manager or one of the management team was right, you never know what someone is going through in their life. Thank you to those sweet hostesses, Serena, and that management team. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Reservations, small wait. Didn't mind. Food was delicious. Shane was awesome. Detailed knowledgeable, great recommendations. Had marinated steak and grits. Key lime pie for dessert.

The first time that I came here earlier this month I had an amazing filet mignon that was recommended by the server. I loved everything and had to come back tonight for dinner! I just love the food here and the service is always great! Tonight I sat at the bar and was serviced by Natalie. I had the roasted chicken. It was well seasoned. Large portion and it came with the red mashed potatoes. This is now my top restaurant and once you try it you’ll fall in love.
