Always excellent food and reasonably priced. The lady is a sweetheart but the man is not kind at all. In fact he is rude. They need to hire some help but the food and quality is worth the hassle.

Very rude staff and owners. No need to call in ahead because food will not get started until present. Will take your payment and then inform you that you still have to wait. Also food isn't season and cooked in very old grease.

Today (06/24/2020) and in the future, I wanted to go to a Black Owned restaurant to get some fish. I noticed a fish place on Beltline Blvd and went there; surely, this was Black Owned. When I went into the establishment it was then I realized it was owned/runned by Chinese/Japanese proprietors. After the surprise wore off, I ordered catfish, french fries, and cole slaw for $8.99. During the time I waited for my order, I reflected on a previous experience on N. Main Street where the seafood restaurant was also runned/owned by Chinese/Japanese proprietors. The culinary experience was not a good one and the fish was horrible; but, I digress. After my food was prepared and ready, the person behind the counter showed me the contents for my approval. I accepted the bag and drove home. When I sat down to eat the food, I was pleasantly surprised. The catfish was still hot and the taste was superb. The french fries was soft (the way I like them) and a golden brown. The cole slaw was not to my liking and the taste was not too good. I have tried a Black Owned Seafood Restaurant off Hardscrabble Road, but, I was left wanting better. I'll continue my search and will post my findings in the future.
