“Best fried walleye in GR. Perfectly breaded and fried, crispy yet juicy. Wings were excellent, fried mushrooms were delicious as well.“

“Y'all!!!!! My mouth is so happy!! Flavor poppin'!! Meatloaf balls made with love and flavor that have a true homemade texture...and the sauce!?!? Oh my! And the Mac n Cheese is true! No premade junk here, I even got some real, dark, pan edges....heaven! GR, take note and GO!!! You will NOT regret it!!!!“

“First time here and we were blown away with the flavors and the food. Rib tips, Mac & Cheese and baked beans. Along with collard greens and yams. Everything was so good we needed to try the catfish & coleslaw. Definitely worth the trip here.“

“Absolutely delicious! We stopped in on a Tuesday for dinner and were greeted with great service. We got the catfish, mashed potatoes, fried chicken, and mac and it was all amazing! I haven’t found anything so close to family cooking in a restaurant before. We both left clean plates. Will definitely be returning!“

“Fantastic food!!!! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back soon!!! The staff was really friendly and welcoming. Best catfish I've ever had hands down and I am very picky about my catfish. The fried chicken ..... Sweet baby Jesus delicious. Everything was great!!! Love you guys keep up the awesome work!!“

“The space inside and parking is limited. But that chicken is fried to perfection every single time! I went back twice! Not to mention, I found out that the location on Eastern is the only black owned location so I will support that one for sure!“

“The mixed drinks are out of this world! They're not too sweet, and not too boozy, the perfect balance. The food was pretty good, definitely worth coming back for. The food was not brought out at the same time. The first guest was finished eating before the last even got their order.

My biggest complaint probably isn't the restaurant's fault. You order through the website. Their payment provider would not accept either of my cards. Luckily my partner's Apple Pay worked. This would have been very embarrassing in other situations. The cell service is sketchy (not their fault), but the guest wifi password at the table is not correct (their fault). Since internet connectivity is required to order, make sure your guests can access it.

Overall we had a good experience. Everyone is friendly and helpful. We will be back.“

“This is our new favorite breakfast place when we are in Grand Rapids. The food is wonderful and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. Service was great and even the patrons were friendly and sweet. I even got a hug from a fellow diner. Everyone there was having a great time and the vibes were wonderful ❤️💕“
