Loved the food, atmosphere and history
Best soul food in Atlanta, the food is so insanely good. The baked chicken/turkey is the best. The staff are so sweet!
I ordered catering for my family reunion and everything was great! My family especially enjoyed the greens and the catfish. The process to order catering was easy and the service was great.
