    My boyfriend and I stopped by this place randomly while in Fayetteville for a graduation this past weekend. The food looks and is amazing, it's a nice spot and has some good vibes. The waitress and staff were very friendly, I had the fried fish with mac and cheese and collard greens and it did not disappoint. I also had the peach tea and that was pretty good and not too sweet. My boyfriend had the fried catfish with shrimp and french fries and he enjoyed it. They have a bar and it seems like they probably have some regulars that come that live in the area and they were having a good time. Definitely recommend this place!

    An impressive restaurant you have to try! We travel frequently between the East and West coast. This is our favorite. The lamb chops were so tender and the grilled salmon was delicious! The chef was excellent, and the customer service was outstanding! Kudos to the staff!

    My visits at Uptown's Chicken and Waffles were typically enjoyable, despite errors with service and staffing dilemmas - I was able to enjoy a nice meal that reminded me of a style of catering that feels familiar to that of one's own family. I had a salmon dish which was served perfectly to my personal standards and the 21+ drink menu complimented the dish well! The pricing was affordable and reasonable in regards to the party size allowing us to enjoy our meal without too much of financial repercussions. My peers were also able to enjoy the dining options and receive adequate service whenever requested. I mostly appreciated the dining and speed of the food to our table after ordering whilst being served well. My only critique is the environment but I can see that there is improvements in the works!

    I was informed by family in Fayetteville that I had to check this place out! The location looks like it is located in an office building….when entering you see the space is open and spread out! So…we were here for lunch and I ordered the Lamb Chops w/two sides - Mac & Cheese and Candied Yams. Our server was prompt..friendly and offered refills when sodas were running low. The food was flavorful and portions were adequate. I would definitely return on my future visits to Fayetteville.
