I ordered the Dabs Heavenly Lemonade and shrimp & grits. The food itself was good, though on the expensive side. Unfortunately, the customer service left a lot to be desired. When I arrived, I wasn’t acknowledged at all—no greeting, no “I’ll be right with you”—and the overall attitude felt unwelcoming.
I genuinely enjoy supporting small businesses and want to see them succeed, but for the prices being charged, a little warmth and courtesy go a long way. A simple “Good morning” would completely change the customer experience.

I'm still in the parking lot eating. First of all, I'm Mississippi born and Louisiana bred, so I take my soul food/cajun/creole VERY seriously. Second, don't go up in here expecting to grab and go, because she cooks to order, and my 20 min wait was worth it. Small inside, so I'd suggest to-go orders.
NOW, let's talk about the food:
1. Wings were super hot, well seasoned, and crispy! Perfectly golden brown
2. She got the YAAMMMSSSSS, Baby!! 10/10
3. Mac n cheese was wet and SEASONED! 10/10
4. The Dab's Heavenly drink was soooo good.
Price point: OK, but I was shocked at the $7 for a homemade drink.

I ordered the fried pork chop meal with greens and fried okra. My food was absolutely delicious and seasoned to perfection. The owner/chef is a complete sweetheart and the space felt like you were at home. Whenever I'm in town I will definitely be stopping in again. Thank you for the amazing meal!

I had dabs wonderful meal experience today for the first time, I had Gumbo for the first time and I am in awe. Flavors are definitely in every single bite with that hint of spice !!!! The strawberry lemonade is ONE of a kind!! I have never had a strawberry lemonade like this one! I am coming back and recommending friends to come.

Absolutely terrible customer service the lady is very rude and watched my food sit there for 10 mins before she gave it to me! She has no sauces so that’s crazy

I came in and ordered the fish and shrimps to go The container is small compared to the large price. The grits are so creamy yet everything was extra salty and it didn't come with any bread or rolls to balance the saltiness. I definitely would not spend $15.00+ on this meal.. maybe the others are better.

Over the last two weeks I have been to this location twice and twice I had to read a letter that said they closed for the rest of the day. Life happens but as we are in the 21st Century, let’s forward the business line to your personal line and tell customers directly you are closed. No one will give me a Reimbursement for my time and gas right. Shameful!!!!

Surprise my little cousin all the way from Colorado just to come get the pork chops, same recipe from pasted down, and family. This is an amazing one person show with good southern cooking from Alabama to the Carolinas. Must stop to enjoy a home cooked meal and bring back memories from your childhood when grandma was cooking up some good southern food. Go see Dab and get the pork chops and tell her “ your cousin Derrick sent us”… enjoy!!!!
