And this is 1 spot that hits just about every box for me. They have seats for dining in & tvs. I went on a Sunday right before they were closing at 4. It's already hard enough to find a good soul food spot open on a Sunday. The staff took my order over the phone and I got there 15 minutes later and it was ready. I tried their fried chicken with some creamy mac & cheese & dressing. Now prior to this Ive had similar meals at other locations and was not impressed. This spot definitely made my visit! The food was so hot, good, and seasoned well; even my mom was impressed. So that's a great sign. I would definitely be back.

The chicken and waffle was just what I needed. Get the wings if you order this dish. I took the recommendation from the cashier and I am glad that I did. Waffle wasn't sugary. The wings were proper crispy and seasoned just right, not heavy-handed on the salt and not underwhelming either. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. Food is cooked to order, so nothing came to the table as if it had been quickly reheated or microwaved. Next time I come home to visit, this will be my destination for breakfast one of the days I'm home. And seeing that they also have lunch and dinner options, I may stop in later in the day for that.

The staff working the line was so sweet and patient as I tried to make a decision. There were so many good looking sides that I went with a veggie plate and added one smoked wing. That Mac n cheese was heavenly. Oh man it was good. The Lima beans were flavroful, as were the collard greens. I didn't care for the boiled okra, as the dish lacked seasoning and the cornbread wasn't my favorite. I will still go back to get a plate as I love plate lunches where I can get home-style vegetables! Address is 1254 Macon St, right off of Lynch Street.
