Food is excellent but NONE of the workers seem too be happy, even the kitchen workers don’t look too be happy. No smiles or anything between any of them.

I'm a foodie so im very particular about my food. I had heard alot of great things about this legendary location so I made it my business to go get a feel of it. The staff was very friendly and answered all the questions I had. When the food came it was tasty and definitely not too salty. I will definitely be returning to this location very soon.

Lived in Columbia since 1971, they opened in 1978 and I never visited until Friday March 15th, 2024. My son born in Columbia 1982 been there many times wanted me to try it. So I say it was ok he says best sweet tea he ever has had and loves there roast chicken. Chicken was good, tea too sweet for me but over all he'll be back and I might try again. STILL is spot is one of our noted places to visit, glad I finally did.Parking: Look like small lot, lots of space in the back, don't be fooled

So, if you want some great southern soul food, this is about as good as it gets. Everything was phenomenal. The fried chicken to the fish sandwich, the hush puppies even the lemonade... listen, this place was nostalgic for me. It took me back to when I was a kid waking up on Saturday morning, getting dressed for a family cookout or reunion. It's something about the food at those events that imprint on your mind because it elevates your palate to another level. You just don't get good cooking like that every day, but here you can.... love the family-friendly atmosphere and the smiling faces I get every trip I come here. Just go there and see for yourself.
