“The atmosphere is great within the restaurant, family friendly and nice for a chill date. Our food is always good and comes out in a couple of minutes! Our waitress from this visit was great with her friendly and welcoming service. Rose was beyond helpful and had a great attitude to talk to!!! Thank you Rose!“

“Delicious Food!! Very tasty and yummy!! Will recommend I give it a 5star !!“

“Lemon pepper wings were spicy, flavorful, and crispy. Quality chicken. Mac and Cheese was cool, fries could use a little more salt but everything felt made to order. Valid spot, don’t expect table service or much for the dining room ambiance, but take the food to go and enjoy in your own home 👐“

“Enjoyed a good meal. We had breakfast and as always, guests are allowed to stay for lunch without paying an additional cost. I appreciate it. I have a family of seven. Five certified children can hold down the fort. The cost has increased over time but a lot of that is going around. Our server was on point.“

“Fantastic representation of southern food! The west indie crab salad was so good we ordered another after the first was delivered. 10/10 will return for that dish alone, and everything else was superb. Staff hit every note and made the meal perfect. Can’t wait to return!“

“Absolutely loved this black owned spot. We met the owner who was very friendly as well as our waitress Kim, oh and the bartender was on point with her drinks!! They have karaoke night every wed. 5-9 and I will most definitely be returning!!“

“Definitely join the wait-list before going to the restaurant! That's what I did for my party and we got seated in less than 5 minutes after checking in.

I would've given this 5 stars, but their chicken was a bit dry. Luckily I had it with their grits, so it helped. Service was also lacking and a bit non-existent.“

“solid food with a personal touch! The owner is an awesome guy. Be sure to try my favorites, the catfish sandwich, fried gizzards or the greens. You won't be disappointed!“

“From the moment we sat down, everything about this place exceeded expectations. The staff. The atmosphere. Just the smell of bbq when we opened the door gave it a 5-star. We had BBQ ribs, catfish, shrimp gumbo, hushpuppies, mac and cheese, and fried okra—and every single dish was phenomenal. The BBQ ribs were tender, juicy, and packed with flavor, falling right off the bone. The catfish was perfectly fried with a crisp, golden coating and flaky, well-seasoned meat inside. The shrimp gumbo was rich and comforting, with deep, authentic and creole flavor that represented the cuisine from back home to a T. The sides were just as impressive. The hushpuppies were warm and perfectly crisp on the outside, soft and moist on the inside. The mac and cheese was creamy and indulgent, and the fried okra was seasoned just right with a satisfying crunch. You can tell these owners truly understands its cuisine—everything was done right. If you’re looking for authentic bbq, seafood or comfort food, this spot is an absolute must. We’ll definitely be back! And shoutout to the owner for sending us home with enough hushpuppies to have for breakfast!“
