Reviews

My mother and I are in town for business, and we wanted to try a new place out. It took us about half an hour from our hotel, but it's definitely worth the drive! This place has the BEST food and the BEST service I've ever gotten at a restaurant. I got the Cobb Salad, and it gave me new standards for how avocado should taste, lol. My mother also got the fried catfish and let me try it. Let me tell you, I don't like fish, but that was one of the best things I ever put in my mouth. The portions are HUGE though, so be prepared to stuff yourself and still have leftovers. They also have a large variety of alcoholic drinks, but we didn't get any. Our server was really great, very kind, very good vibes, and you could tell he had a lot of confidence.
