The woman behind the counter was welcoming and funny. Loved the music and can't wait till the next time I get to eat there again. I had the turkey ribs with jerk seasoning and hot honey sauce with yams and mac n cheese. EVERYTHING was delicious.

This family owned spot has all the charm and warmth you could hope for. And then there’s the delicious food. First things first. The grits. They are the most flavorful and delicious grits I’ve ever had. Go cajun, for sure. And the French toast, y’all. Definitely, put this restaurant on your radar. You won’t be sorry.

The food is amazing. The staff ZURI is very friendly professional and the prices are very affordable. I fed my whole of 4 family for $17.

The chicken tenders were juicy and perfectly crispy! The fish sandwich had more filets than I could eat. It was flavorful and flaky. We tried to finish it all, but had to take it home. The fries are just like ones you get at the ball park! The food was amazing! We can't wait to try the French toast on our next visit. It's a hidden gem! Definitely gonna recommend to all our friends. Sorry for taking pictures halfway through. It looked so good we couldn't help ourselves.

This establishment serves up a satisfying fare at an attractive price point. I highly recommend the chicken and fish plate, where the chicken tenders stand out with their irresistible crunch and juicy interior. The whiting fish, while flavorful, could benefit from a crispier exterior. The shrimp and yams are also a solid choice. The house-made lemonade tends towards the sweeter side, so consider diluting it with water. While the Oreo banana pudding is enjoyable, the lack of real bananas detracts from the experience. In conclusion, this spot delivers delicious, budget-friendly meals that satisfy you.
