Southern-inspired restaurant in Page, Arizona, founded by Charleston native James Adams. Serving authentic breakfast, lunch, and dinner with traditional Southern flavors including shrimp and grits, biscuits and gravy, and smoked brisket dishes in a spacious, welcoming atmosphere.
A very friendly place offering excellent food with an atmosphere similar to that of a family-restaurant. Amazingly friendly and caring staff, especially Delilah, who all want that you have the best possible experience.The oxtail skillet and the Navajo taco were superb. The fried olives were something new to me; very tasty, though it could do with a tad less cooking oil.The decor is mostly focused on Navajo art, which I love. Some of it is for sale.I highly recommend this restaurant.
Drea was my server. She was amazing and very attentive. Everything is made from scratch I ordered the meat loaf. It WAS SO AMAZING. It tasted so GOOD. I also ordered the blackberry bourbon drink it was phenomenal. The service here is PHENOMENAL. Very clean, nice, and welcoming. My first time here and I will definitely recommend this place if scored 1-10 i would pick 10 due to the entire experience and taste of everything ☺️ 🙂
Best restaurant in Page. We visited Labor Day and was very busy, we waited 30 minutes to get our food but it was worth it and understandable.Justin made our experience enjoyable, we had to come back the next day to have breakfast and it was amazing, the gluten free pancakes were delicious. 10 starts and totally recommended!!!
This is a must stop while in Page! Wow! Everything on the menu sounded incredible. Clean and comfortable restaurant with incredibly kind staff. Great meal to kick off the day before hiking or exploring the area. Can’t wait to return to page to try the rest of the menu!
Highly Recommended. This was my 1st time as I pass thru on a drive. Marcus, my server, took great care of me and made good food recommendations. I had the crab fries as an appetizer. It was excellent. I had the Southern BBQ chicken as an entrée. It was cooked perfectly, the sauce was sweet and tangy. The veggies and mac-&-cheese were a perfect companion. If you're in Page,AZ, stop for a meal at the Rustic Thistle.
