“I had a small mishap with my food. The manager was so nice and had no problem replacing it and even let me get a desert for the inconvenience. I explained it was no worries. I love this place and would have come back regardless. It was so refreshing to have someone actually care about their service. The fried mushroom with garlic parm is my favorite. 8.5/10 would highly recommend.“

“I’m not going to lie, when we first moved here we gave them a try when they were in the food truck, we didn’t like it at all besides the fried ocra and hush puppies. BUT we decided last night to give them another try since they are in the new restaurant now and they are only 5 mins from our home…. Boy… am I glad we did! BEST FOOD OF MY ENTIRE LIFE!! We got the bangin shrimp plate, fried ocra, a BBQ sandwich, the dinner special they had going on (I believe hamburger steak), Mac n cheese and hush puppies. The bangin shrimp was so good that we are going back in another day for our anniversary. All of the food was amazing to the point we’ve invited our family to drive 3 hours here to visit us and eat here so they can see just how GOOD this food is. That fried ocra is the best you’ll ever have and the BBQ sandwich was so good! Oh we also got the BBQ nachos and my goodness, my pregnant self was so happy with those as well. If you haven’t given them another shot since the food truck, you are truly missing out! They are officially our new go to. Thank you for amazing food!“

“I placed a to-go order on the app and apparently ordered it twice. My server, Corinthia was very observant and brought it to my attention immediately. We got the issue corrected and I was still able to enjoy my order! She is a very pleasant server who presents very helpful and with a smile EVERY time she waits on me!“
