“We’ve had such good meals here, the jambalaya, gumbo, mac and cheese bites are to die for, the biscuits are delicious, the sides are all super fresh, like the asparagus, and done perfectly, the rice and beans casserole actually has nice surprise meat in it too, we’ve not had the dishes others are complaining about but we can say all the dishes we’ve had have been amazing. So disappointed to read some of these reviews, that’s not been our experience. We really hope they make it because the menu is not your usual salmon chicken steak fare, like most places, it’s special. That’s our opinion!“

The breakfasts were unbelievably awesome and the coffee was delicious. Manager came over to our table. Also a very nice guy. We don't get to Boca often, but we'll absolutely put this on our things to do list.“

“Great recipe. Super small chicken cuts. I understand inflation. Legs are like chicken drumets. Just charge more. Looks like Qual but super great Chicken! Perfectly cooked
Ok so just remember when you order . The online prices 30% less than what you pay. The owner could take an hour on Google and change the pricing! Great chicken deceptive pricing easy to fix.

I'm a Chef for 45 years. I love these mom and pop companies. I love the no frills same interior for decades. The wooden window from the kitchen like trap door. I would love to meet the owner. This place would crush KFC. It could gross millions in franchisee. Maybe the owner doesn't want to . But the history is worth mollions“
