What our guests are saying
Absolutely no complaints. The oxtail was hot, SO tender and the gravy was good. Both the mac & cheese and candied yams, could’ve been a little hotter, but were good and paired well with the oxtail. The young lady at the counter was pleasant & professional. And the restaurant seemed clean (note: I didn’t stay to eat, I just sat down to wait for my food). This plate was a little under $20 and was well worth it.

I was so excited about finding this place right off the highway. Just enough room to park my rig off this side shoulder. The food is delicious, fresh and the seasoning is in every bite. I even got complimented my banana pudding for being my first time. Chris is a great salesman and has great customer services. Any time I’m driving through here I will be stopping by‼️

Was at the Mighty Kamm Band Pre-Fathers Day concert & dinner. Food was excellent & service was very good as well. That fried chicken, fried whiting & collard greens was the business!
