I always order the combo tray for pick up. Its a little over $20 but it comes with yellow rice, French fries, ribs & chicken. You can feed up to 4 people, maybe more, depending on the portions served and preferences.

I can not say enough great things about this place! The food is of course delicious. Portions are big and prices are very reasonable. The real draw for me is the amazing service! Staff makes you feel like you are so special. This is our go to place love it!

The two of went on a Saturday night for the first time.
The entire staff is top notch. Polite, helpful, and willing to go above and beyond to cater to guests.
The prices are incredibly fair considering today's costs. Knowing restaurants run on a very tight profit margin, the quality and amount included in any appetizer or meal is much appreciated.
We will return.
