    The old cliché “momma’s home cooking “, well this is Down Home Southern Cooking, Grandma’s House, chicken fried steak ( don’t need a knife just a fork), fried catfish & shrimp with shut dogs ( hush puppies)for those not from the south, just like Grandma used to make. Wow and the manger made you feel as if you were the most welcome and important person in the Restaurant, the staff friendly, caring and accommodating.👍👍👍👍👍

    Our food was delicious, the service (Jude) was attentive, and the restaurant has a casual atmosphere. However, it is a loud environment. We didn’t know, as this visit was our first. It was hard to have conversations. We’ll definitely come back again, because overall it was a very good experience.

    Portions are huge (way huge), so be prepared. Take a few friends. You'll want to split. Service and food spectacular.
