I even enjoy the sweet greens they serve here in the South, where a little sugar is perfectly acceptable! I love all the dishes on their menu, and I can't wait to go back.

Best fried chicken in the state. Generally, food is wonderful with the exception of sweetened turnip greens. Nobody likes sugar in greens??? read more Best fried chicken in the state. Generally, food is wonderful with the exception of sweetened turnip greens. Nobody likes sugar in greens???

The menu is similar to what it used to be, but I don't think it's as good as it once was. The prices were reasonable; I arrived around 1:30 PM. Unfortunately, the food didn't seem fresh at all. The chicken was overcooked and dry, and the fish wasn’t any better. The chopped BBQ was decent, though I didn’t see any BBQ sauce available. I skipped the vegetables and mac and cheese because I follow a low-carb diet, so I can't comment on those. Will I be coming back? Probably not, as I don’t find myself in this area often, and I can easily skip this place.

Their country-style fried chicken and fried pork chop dinners are absolutely delicious. However, my personal favorite is their made-to-order liver dinner with brown gravy—it's simply the best!

This place is really great! However, they should consider expanding, as it can get a bit cramped. Overall, it's a cool spot! read more This place is really great! However, they should consider expanding, as it can get a bit cramped. Overall, it's a cool spot!
