This is a nice restaurant truly, it serves great comfort food and the chicken fried chicken/steak are great ?! You can get them small or large, plus this restaurant keeps a pretty impressive diverse menu. The prices are affordable and won't break your wallet for the good quality food that is served here.
In sum, a great lunch break stop or Sunday after church or an event to grab a bite to eat or fellowship with friends and family ?
