by Song S. on A good stand-by option when I'm hungry for Mexican-esque food and don't feel like driving. Setting-wise, it's a good place to enjoy the patio or watch the latest game with a ball projected on the wall. Complimentary chips and salsa with as many refills as you want moves it up on my scale. As for the food, I haven't been totally wowed. So far the Veracruz-styled fish is my favorite. The sauce is delicious. The carne a la parilla is a humongous dish (I had to ask for a take out box, which is rare), but the meat was so-so. The mac and cheese was just weird. Jalepeno mac and cheese sounds good in concept, right? This version was soupy. Wasn't sure if it was supposed to be used as a queso dip as well. I've also had their huge Hamburguesa Sedgwick. Beef with bacon, topped with some guac and jalepenos. It's a beast of a sandwich. But the beef itself wasn't spectacular - would've been too dried and bland without all the toppings.
by Jeff T. on What I liked about this place is that they are at least trying to do something different. They start with good southern food (mac & cheese, collards, cornbread, etc.) and then they bump it a little. While not everything was a home run, it was a refreshing try. First, the biscuits and cornbread came out and they were pretty dry. Plus, they were so room temperature-ish that the butter wouldn't melt into them. Not a good start. But then came my entree and side - chicken and dumplings with collard greens. The chicken is thigh meat with the skin still on. It's not shredded like you might have had, but nice size pieces that were tender and tasty without being greasy. The dumplings were interesting, but what was set it all off was the gravy sauce. Not the brothy butter sauce I've always had at the K&W, but a brown meaty sauce that was yummy. The collards were served at just the right temperature and texture and while they aren't like my mom makes, I liked the sweet and smoky flavor they added to them (molasses?). Give this place a shot.
