Ashley, one of the owners, is incredibly welcoming. My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of getting to know her personally during our first visit when she came over to our table. We also had the chance to meet Jennifer, the chef, who is simply amazing. My boyfriend ordered the chicken biscuit and gravy, and when Jennifer came out to check on us, he mentioned how much he loved the sausage gravy. She went above and beyond by bringing over a generous bowl of it. Our server, Anonda, was just as welcoming and hospitable. She recommended trying the peach cobbler waffle that Jennifer had made for the staff, and it was absolutely delicious. I initially wasn't in the mood for waffles, but I'm so glad...
I did not have a reservation for Sunday brunch however we were still able to be seated at the bar which had comfortable rolling chairs and a nice vibe. We got there as soon as they opened so we got to engage with the bartender who was extremely friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. The big easy bellini and the **** mary were so good. The peach beignets were amazing. I got the breakfast bowl for my entree and wish I had gotten something else. The eggs were dry and they charge additional for “fried chicken” to be added however it was just a few pieces of what looked like cut up chicken tenders. My boyfriend got the Catfish and grits which was delicious.
I ordered the catfish po’ boy and the smoked gouda grits, and I was thoroughly impressed. The catfish po’ boy was outstanding—my photo doesn’t quite capture how massive it is! It was stacked with three or four fillets of catfish. The couple sitting next to me even asked about it as they were leaving, and it seemed likely they'll be back to sample it themselves. I also enjoyed a smoked old fashioned that was prepared right at my table. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff were incredibly friendly, checking on me frequently. Overall, I had a fantastic experience!
Attention Foodies! Put this place on your list! Intimate and quaint atmosphere. Food that is bursting with flavor. There is something on the menu for every palate. Even got a treat with live music. Visited with friends from out of town who said they would come all the way back just to dine there again! Drinks were so dope!! Had the Wu Tang forever (See menu) and it’s a must if you love Bourbon. Waitstaff was professional, pleasant and attentive. Owner was warm and delightful as well. This was my second time. Will definitely be returning soon!

I enjoy going to Brunch, but this time I decided to try out their dinner menu! The food was delicious. I especially enjoyed the Mango-Ruck wings. Thankfully, we were able to find seating in the back building. The parking lot can get full, so we usually park on the street near the houses across the road. Overall, it was a great dining experience.
PLEASE THUMBS UP IF HELPFUL This was a great meal. First of all it all looked too good to pick just one meal. My friend and I ended up picking on sweet and one savory meal and split them both. Would definitely recommend trying and going back. It has such a interesting style with brick. I love how the decor also served as functional table items.
I absolutely enjoyed our recent date night at 1861. The food was fresh and delicious. I ordered the shrimp and grits and they knocked it out of the park. My girlfriend had the blackened salmon it was also amazing. The staff was very friendly and our service was prompt. I can’t wait to return. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner
