“We visited this location for takeout. Our order taker was meticulous in taking our order. He got all three orders correct. I should have gotten his name. It was on March 4th, 2026. He is about 5'5, small frame and African American. We didn't even check our order before leaving the store. Our breakfast that morning was delivered with care. Thank you, young man. God bless!“

“A pretty nice breakfast with fresh biscuits and pimento cheese for my sandwich, and hash brown potatoes that are deep fried for crispiness. Her biscuits and gravy were also pretty good, with a side of scrambled eggs that was actually too much food. Nice staff, but the running room itself is pretty plain. I wouldn't hesitate to return.“
