The food is delicious but unfortunately I won’t be going back, because what do you mean 3 bites of food is 4 dollars? The portion sizes they give for the sides should be illegal for the price. Overall the food is great but it’s crazily overpriced in my opinion.

This place is great! We were on this side of town for a show at the Van Buren and we stopped in for a bite first. A great decision we made.
Service was amazing. Jimmy D had great customer service, very friendly and helpful. He made suggestions without being overly pushy. Never let our drinks get low and made sure we had everything we needed.
The food! This was the best chicken and catfish that I have had in my entire life. The fried okra was cooked perfectly....

One of the best spicy chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. Jimmy was a wonderful help and went over all the specials for us. Hush puppies are AMAZING! Very low key and chill atmosphere.
