For years, this intimate Inman Square hangout has been a bright beacon summoning service pros to its famous industry brunch on Mondays. It still shines. The retro, ’60s roadhouse-inspired decor has a vaguely rockabilly air, augmenting the cultish street cred of a spot where servers, cooks and bartenders—and interloping neighborhood hipsters—chow Cajun-style fried chicken and slurp carbonated cocktails when they’re finally off the clock.
