Always greeted immediately. Small take out only location, sometimes it may be a slight wait if a line has formed but moves quickly and you won't even mind, as the owner engages with each customer as he fixes their food. The prices pretty much match up with other similar food places, the food tastes great, and nobody can beat the portion sizes here. It's definitely worth checking out

Unimpressed with last few times coming here. Porkchops were chewy, definitely not fresh. Sides tasted like they came out of a can. Service is always wonderful but quality of food has gone down tremendously. appreciated portion size but food wasn't tasty so ended up wasting most of

My meal consisted of turkey wings, cabbage, yams & cornbread. The turkey wings were delicious, fall off the bone tender. Cabbage was good and crisp just like I like my vegetables. Now yams on the other hand had an excessive amount of strings in them whiich I deem them to be unedible but they had a good taste to them and the cornbread was stale, so glad it was given to me and not purchased. And the atmosphere is small standing only with limited people at one time. The man behind the counter had an awesome attitude, very pleasant he asked if this was my first time there and gave me a free drink, just the kind of business I wouldn't mind spending my money at. Yes. I will most definitely go back..

Nowhere better to spend your hard-earned money for a meal. One meal here will last you dinner and lunch, and dinner again the following night.

I called ahead of time to ensure the restaurant was open. However, when I arrived, the cook was in the kitchen cooking and the door to the facility was locked. There was a lot of people standing outside. I am deducting points for the lack of customer service. Also this location only accepts cash. But there is no signage letting you know they are a cash only facility. The food was seasoned and I appreciate the fact that the food was not salty.

OMG!! So much food. I shared with son and still didn't eat rest. Cash only and you can't dine there but I am definitely going to try another dish. I did smothered pork cops. I would've liked some onions but still very tasty. Didn't care for sweet potato pie but it didn't taste bad, ok.
