She gave us just the right amount time to review the menu. The food was served in a timely fashion. Nine people, nine different entrees and no one complained. Highly recommend this restaurant“

“Wonderful home cooking in a friendly cozy atmosphere! I had the Big Daddy Mac & Cheese. OMG-delish! Homemade creamed corn with the Mac n cheese and real barbecued brisket on top. It doesn’t get any better! Large portion too-I brought home at least 1/3 for lunch tomorrow. Don’t hesitate to give them a try!“

“We waited longer than we should’ve and started to walk out but we decided to see if the hostess would eventually show up this year. They were not crowded at all but I knew the other steakhouse would be. Employees kept looking at us at the entrance but no one came over to seat us. I am glad we waited. I’m a patient woman. I enjoy fishing so I get plenty of practice. The hostess needs a better attitude and personality. The waitress Ash was awesome and made up for what the hostess lacked. Ash is one of the best servers we’ve encountered anywhere in a long time…and that’s shameful. The food was well seasoned. My daughter’s steak and lobster tail were on the small side but she said it was delicious including her asparagus that were cooked perfectly so she felt it was worth it. My steak and broccoli were seasoned and cooked nice. They definitely know what a medium steak looks like. Cudos to the cook(s). Again, Ashley was outstanding!!! We DEFINITELY will be returning and hopefully have her as our server again. The bill was almost a hun for the two of us and that’s without dessert but we felt it was worth it. It was so nice my daughter tipped 3% and that’s a lot for that frugal lady. I’m normally the big tipper that she complains about but I was pleasantly surprised today. This visit was nothing like the location in Killeen before they closed down that we swore never to return. I’m glad we waited on the young, slow hostess. An attractive curly haired server wished us good evening as we left. I told my daughter she should’ve asked him for his number lol We enjoyed our meal and the movies afterwards. It was a blessed and pleasant Sunday for us. If you go to this location, ask for Ash. She adds to the experience.“

“Had the pleasure of visiting this establishment along with my family in celebration of my granddaughter's birthday. The food was awesome as it was an eclectic mix of everything. I personally ordered the single serv Southern Fried Chicken upon a slice of toast with sweet baby carrots and seasoned rice. The chicken was buttery without being tough or hard to chew. It was delicious and melted in my mouth. Honerable mention goes out to our Server (Tony) a seasoned host and good at his job. His presentation was professional and impeccable. He accommodated all our needs with a warm smile. Let's not forget the Manager (Richard) who took the time to check with us making sure we were comfortable and offered a complimentary birthday treat of Chocolate Fudge Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream topping with whipped cream and a cherry on top. It was decadently delicious! Richard was kind and obliging making us feel at home. We enjoyed our entire birthday celebration and vowed to come back!“
