WALKING INTO either location of His Place, you’ll wonder if you know the folks behind the counter—the greeting is that warm. The fast, friendly, and efficient service ensures whatever you order, from the half slab of barbecue ribs to the Red Velvet Chicken and Waffles, arrives as fast and hot as a bolt of lightning.
The second bolt comes when you take a bite, as owners James and Shawn Jones know their way around spices and seasonings, ensuring the kitchen puts out some of the most flavorful food in town. Comforting sides such as slow-cooked collards get the same level of attention as the mains, and desserts such as sweet potato cheesecake and peach cobbler also stand out.
