Stopped in on a whim, and super glad we did! The place doesn't really look like much, but the food is southern down home divine! Items on the salad bar were fresh. Both kinds of okra (in tomatoes, and fried) were so good. And the fish!! I tentatively tried a small piece, and it was so good I went back and got 2 more! The fried green tomatoes were also good, but they ran out too soon, which was probably good for my waistline.

Excellent food prepared well and hot. Real southern cooking that is always wonderful. We have eaten here at all times of the day and have never been disappointed ! If I could convince the owners to open a Crawfordville location , my family would rejoice !!

About 5 years ago a friend brought me here. I have to admit the food and service was beyond what I expected. The food is always flavored perfectly always fresh and warm when it's supposed to be warm cold when it's supposed to be cold and fast-friendly service as well. I've been a loyal customer of theirs every since. I've been telling others so they can enjoy this delicious food also.

Food is delicious. Fried fish, chicken, gizzards, and okra are all as southern as it gets. This is NOT a Chinese restaurant. If you like soul food, you will like this place. A good variety of veggies too. Even the neck bone and broth is so delicious.
