“As soon as I got out of my car, the smell of delicious food assaulted my nose. I was hoping the food was as good as it smelled. I was not disappointed. Even though the food was basic, everything was seasoned just right & that made the difference. The jerk wings were not jerk to me, but had a nice smokey flavor. The mac & cheese did not look that great & I wish it had been baked longer, but was still tasteful. I prefer fresh green beans these days, but theirs was the old school kind with potatoes & again, seasoned just right. The cornbread was sweet if you like a Jiffy box flavor. The wait time was a standard 15 minutes. The decor is very old & outdated, but there are a few tables if you'd like to eat inside or wait for your food. I drove over 30 minutes to try their food and If I'm ever in the area again, I'd return.“

“First time at the restaurant on a busy Sunday. The food did not disappoint and either did the service. Stacie our waitress was attentive and on point. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. We had everything from fried catfish, meatloaf, short ribs, BBQ ribs, fried pork chop and chicken and waffle along with a variety of sides and beverages. I even got a ToGo of the short ribs because they were so tender (a little fatty but tender still). We were a party of 9 and they seated us with no problem. It was a little stuffy and definitely needed more air circulation.“
