Every item i ate tasted exactly like i wanted it to taste and like i would have cooked it myself. Love their vegetables, chicken livers, cornbread dressing and gravy and of course fried chicken.

Food was not the best I've ever had but it was good. My husband and I come to Emerson once a year and found this place last year. My husband was super excited because on Thursday they have chicken gizzards, which he loves.
I am not a meat eater. But the veggies are good. They didn't have fried okra which I love but they had other things. The yeast rolls were really good. Green beans really good.
Good value for the money.

I didn’t hate it. Probably better if I didn’t have a frame of reference to compare it against. Mediocre at best. Wife liked it well enough. I’ll go back for her.

They need healthier choices. Baked 🐠 would have been nice. Had my gall bladder out. I can’t eat any greasy w/o paying serious consequences. That aside, healthier in general, would be appreciated.
Service-⭐️. Server did picked used plates, but no one ever...
