"I had the turkey wing plate. I usually only eat a small piece of turkey at Thanksgiving dinner. Well, Danielle and her team have really changed my mindset about adding turkey to my diet a little more! Great customer service! Friendly atmosphere! Clean facility! Food taste, smell, and presentation was EXCELLENT!"

"Was wanting some nice home cooked food and stopped here based off of reviews and they did not disappoint!! I just got some sides and the Mac, yams, and black eyed peas were AMAZING. 10/10 will be coming back! Would much rather stop in here than go through a drive thru! Such a great price for amazing quality food."

"In the area for work. I was finally able to visit this place especially since they are only open for 3 hours or so. I ended up ordering the Crawfish Etouffee w/catfish. The sides were potato salad and corn. The Etouffee was pretty decent only complaint is the rice was a little sticky. The fish was well cooked and moist ( just a little salty). The staff was friendly and helpful. My only advice to the owners of this place is to please have them lower the music in the waiting area. It was way too loud for an area that small."
