Old Skool Cafe

This place seems so small and non-descript from the outside, but inside, you're immediately greeted by some wonderful staff and, from what I've experienced, nice music in the ambience. The place itself has a distinct personality. Although, I can't quite put my finger on it, I would guess it's jazz age and it works really well.Now the food. Some of the best shrimp and grits I've had. I've gone around trying this dish in different spots in the city and I like this and Brenda's the best. The ribs are also a must. But pretty much everything my family had the couple of times we went here were delicious.

We had a lovely Valentine’s Day special dinner — special thanks to Isaac, Sky, Jonathan, and Chef Kevin for making it wonderful. Beautiful ambiance and live piano performance, perfect for a date night. We are excited to come back to try the regular menu too. Love what you all are doing!

The atmosphere is warm and cozy and food is tasty! Staff were friendly and service was fabulous. I love the concept of this restaurant and hope that not only survives, but THRIVES in this competitive scene. I know that some people don't venture to this part of the city, but in not doing so, they are missing out! I hope that people will venture down here from their usual neighborhoods because this is one of the gems to be discovered when you go outside your comfort zone.
