What a great place, food was delicious and the prices were great. Plenty of room to accommodate a part of 20 plus. It was greatly appreciated, servers were top notch.

Like a step back in time to when people knew how to home cook everything! I had a whole fried catfish, fried green tomatoes, and beans and peas. Yum! My husband had fried chicken, dressing, and turnip greens. Everything was delicious! But the thing that beat them all was the butter roll. No it is not bread. It is their signature dessert! Don’t pass it up just because you are stuffed. Take some with you! Everyone was so friendly and the service was great! Don’t miss this treasure!
