Description




Brothers Oliver and Nicolas Poilevey run this carryout-focused spot, roasting pasture-raised Ivory Amish chickens in an Old Hickory rotisserie until the heavily seasoned skin slides off the bone. The simple menu features these birds alongside au jus, collard greens, and breads from Mindy's Bakery. The setup is casual enough for families but executed with high standards, matching quality ingredients with a relaxed neighborhood feel.
