You can really tell they put a lot of love and energy into this restaurant. The food came out fast, hot, and tasty! Ordering is easy on their kiosk, and also you can order at their counter. The staff was very friendly and made sure we had everything we need during our visit. And the food, of course was delicious. I got the Cajun seafood pasta and it was delicious! Comes with a roll as well.

I love how you don't have to mention that you would like your chicken fried extra crispy, it is just served that way. A little quaint diner looking restaurant, no frills, just simple and straight to the point. The staff is super friendly and helpful, which is great for first timers because you don't know how to navigate what's going on. So we were informed to order at the kiosk and we could take a seat at any table. Our food was brought to us by a robot. The downside, yet another place that doesn't want to serve you FREE water and charge for every additional condiment. Whyyyyyy if I'm a paying customer do I need to pay for bottled water. How are you washing dishes, etc..... Also, as an owner of an establishment, anytime a patron walks into your establishment, this is a key moment for you welcome and acknowledge your customers. How rude is it that for us to be the ONLY customers eating inside the entire restaurant your staff is friendlier than you are. I appreciate that Cathy herself was making each dish and she does know what she is doing but the customer service on her part is highly lacking, luckily her employees make-up for the short coming. The catfish and grits is a delicious well crafted dish that is incredible when eaten cold. That speaks volumes to how good the dish is. The New Friday special which comes with 3 whole wings, 6 jumbo shrimp, 1 Catfish Fillet and coleslaw is another great option to try 3 items in one dish. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and crispy, the catfish was tender on the inside and fried to perfection on the outside and the shrimp were large and not over cooked. Cathy definitely has her seasoning game on lock. And last but not least we ordered the cajun pasta with chicken and shrimp, added mushrooms. I would opt out of the chicken next time because it was chicken chunks that seemed to be out of the can, so it had a fake texture. The pasta sauce was flavorful and delicious and the entree was plenty for two. The wait was not long for our food which is a plus, some items I feel are over priced.

We tried so many things and I have to say that the oxtails, smothered pork chop, banana pudding and sweet potato cheesecake were our faves. The mac and cheese, wings, greens, mashed potatoes, black eyed peas were good. They weren't bad by any means but definitely added some seasoning and hot sauce for preference. Oh, and the strawberry soda was crisp too. My sister wasnt too enthused about the meatloaf. My daughter said the cornbread was just okay, yams too. Service was phenomenal. Every single person we spoke to was kind and very helpful. Ambiance was great, gospel music in the background.
