Totally delicious! The fried chicken is WOW, crispy, fresh, and juicy. The collard greens are perfect, and the mac and cheese is pure perfection. The crispy catfish is spot-on, and the sweet potato pie is the best I’ve ever had. On top of that, the owners and staff are exceptionally kind. Tiny cute spot probably best for take out then planning to dine in!!

This place is AMAZING! We ordered the ribs, fried chicken, candied yams, mac and cheese, and vanilla cake. Everything, and I do mean everything, was a 10/10! The place is super cozy and cute. They have a wide variety of dishes to pick from on their menu which I really appreciated. I will be back soon! (I placed my order over the phone and it was all ready for me when I arrived about 15 min after I called) :)
