“5 stars, because the food is *chefs kiss” I picked up my to-go order during a lunch rush and when I got home I realized it was not what I had ordered. I called once I realized the mistake and Crystal (manager) was so polite and even asked ME how I wanted it to be handled. I completely understand how hectic it gets and sometimes things get mixed up. No biggie, I was able to go back and get my correct order with Crystals help. She even gave me a cookie. So with that being said…. 5 STARS.“

Rec: Catfish with cheese grits.“

“Good food, good service, and a clean environment! LT is one of three restaurants our family can easily dine at, given our food diversity in a family of seven. My only wish is that their desserts were of better quality.
Please note that most of the veggies are seasoned with pork , so I wouldn't consider them vegan friendly.“
