“Had a lot of fun. I spent my first time there for my birthday. The food was good, the drinks were strong and the karaoke was a blast. The patrons were very nice to my singing lol. I like a lot of 80s music and it clashed with the vibe of the restaurant but everyone there I think was just happy to have someone sing.
Definitely will be coming back again soon“

The team working here is the FAMILY!! The customers who dine at Nana's Kitchen are the FAMILY!! The atmosphere is energetic (live DJ on weekends) and the food will keep you coming back for more. I am absolutely hooked on the black eye peas, greens, pinto beans and Mac and cheese!! Don't get me started on the fried food items 🙌🙌🔥🔥 Catfish filets are my favorite. The fried pork chops, wings, and juicy tenders are all amazing!! Cakes and pies are delicious. On Sundays Nana's Kitchen serves her special menu of Oxtails over rice, Smothered turkey wings, Beef tips over rice. Chicken spaghetti is also a fan favorite!! When you come to Nana's Kitchen you'll leave with a belly full of food and a heart full of love!! But hey, don't believe me...come see for yourself. We're open Wednesday -Sunday. See ya there!! ❤️“

“Wife and I wanted to try Slim Chicken, we have drove by it many times but never tried it. Went to the drive through and was greeted by the most professional person I have ever ordered from. He asked if we have ever been here before and gave the best explanation of the menu covering every thing. With the detail of where we can find the sauces. His name is Caleb. (Management should give him a raise and place him in as head trainer or Management training)
I ordered crispy spicy chicken sandwich with fries. The fries were cold and the sandwich was good but a little salty for my taste. And a little on the high side.“
