Delicious food, wonderful service and creative flavors. We started with the fried green tomatoes with spicy sauce, then the shrimp and grits and the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and collard greens. We will definitely be back for more!

My mother & I stopped in for lunch. Our first time time. Very chilled and welcoming spot! The menu had SO MANY great options! I saw MANY things I wanted to try. I had burger & fries & my mother had chicken salad. She REALLY enjoy her food & herself there. Will definitely be visiting here many more times!

Staff were very friendly and helpful with the menu choices. First time in a very long time, I was able to enjoy everything on my plate! The fish was excellent and the sides were delicious. Fast and friendly service is rare these days. Highly recommend. I am an out of towner passing through BTW.

This place has been on my list to visit for a few weeks and I finally made it in. The blackened salmon was a bit over seasoned but cooked perfectly. The fried okra and black eyed peas were delicious beyond words. I enjoyed the max and cheese and yams. I was able to make a second meal out of this. They skimped on nothing. Very nice ambiance. Plenty of parking. Attentive staff. Efficient service. I visited on a weekend during the late afternoon and was able to take a call and work remotely. The music added to a fantastic experience. I would definitely return. I hope you find this review helpful. If so, please give me a thumbs up. Thanks in advance.

A great local Black owned business. The employee provided excellent customer service when I ordered on the phone and picked up. Prices were reasonable and the menu was great. Food was fresh and hot.

Food is great here. Visit this restaurant often. Anything fried here is going to be amazing. Didn’t care for the walleye dinner but that is the only time I didn’t like something at this restaurant. Recommend it!
