A mural of Fillmore Street circa 1962 covers the wall, which makes sense given that the chef grew up in the neighborhood and spent years dreaming of bringing her soul food restaurant here. The rosemary fried chicken, fragrant with fresh herbs and marinated in housemade spices, is the reason people line up, though the butter cornbread and mac and cheese give it real competition. Bon Appétit named it one of America's Best New Restaurants in 2025.

Rosemary fried chicken
“Dish to order: Rosemary fried chicken”
Condé Nast Traveler -
Brown butter cornbread
“Don’t miss the golden-brown butter cornbread—rich, decadent, and almost a star in its own right—or the rotating specials like tender oxtail and lamb ragù.”
Condé Nast Traveler -
Mac and cheese
“sides of delicately sweet brown butter cornbread and melty baked mac and cheese, made with a blend cheddar, fontina, and parmesan, with chewy, crisp edges, are exemplary.”
