Get there early so you can try the banana pudding and cobblers. They were out by the time we arrived. My Brunswick stew was good. All the food was good not great. The restaurant is a an old time country restaurant. It’s a little tired and dirty on the inside but it kind of fits the vibe. The staff was super friendly and helpful.

I come here at least once a week, sometimes 3. Lady working the window in Saturdays has a nasty attitude. I’ll never stop coming here but I’ll stop coming on the days she works. Everyone else working the window is so nice and says hello. This lady just stares at you until you order… doesn’t bother me that bad but to ask me if I want a hush puppies or rolls and give me the opposite of what I ask for is crazy.. starting to feel like I’m being pranked lol. This has only happened when she takes my order…I’m currently staring at hushpuppies although I asked for a roll. Why ask what I want if you gonna give me what you want anyway??? good food tho for the price I love itttt. But get that mean lady off the window. Only time she talks is to say the total.

This is a great place to get home cooked food. I have patronized this restaurant for numerous years. I’ve never been disappointed.

Food was amazing. Chicken was tender and falling off the bone. Mac and cheese on point and hushpuppies had just the right amount of sweetness. I also had blackeyed peas which were delicious. The staff was very accommodating and they had nice country charm. I felt welcomed and would definitely come back if I'm on this side of town.

The guys who work here are so sweet and polite! 5 stars for service.
Ordering a tiny challenge since the menu is not consistent. You’re better off coming inside, looking at the food display so you can choose your meat and two sides. Plus, you have a choice of a roll or hush puppies.
If you go through drive thru, you should already have an idea of what you want to order. The day I came, there were porkchops, fried fish, baked bbq chicken and fried chicken. Sides were various beans, deviled eggs, and other stuff I didn’t pay attention to (sorry!).
Dessert was banana pudding - $1.25. Can’t beat that! I can’t wait to return here.
Ps: the fish was not my favorite, as the texture was a little tougher than I expected. However, I came late afternoon so the fish may have been a later batch. I’m willing to try again.
The price, variety, and service make me want to return.
