MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking

Ronnie Killen’s Heights hit is the wrong place to count calories or dabble with salads. Quite the opposite, this Southern standout is an all-or-nothing celebration honoring his grandmother. Deviled eggs are crowned with brilliantly smoky bits of pulled pork – a clever nod to his barbecue accolades. Biscuits are warm and flaky. Fried chicken is listed on the menu at least five different times. A favorite is the classic buttermilk version, which is cooked to order and arrives golden-brown and juicy. For sure, this is comfort food that rings familiar, satisfies with ease and all but demands for a nap once you’ve cleared the last crumb. Those who bravely walk in hoping to go meatless can take refuge in the sizeable selection of vegetables.
