Honestly, this soul food I've ever had or at least very close to my wife's grandmother's cooking. As we arrive, the parking lot is full. The tables are full coming in you go in and you order your main and choose your sides right there. Between all this, we have beans, collard greens, yams, mac & cheese, potato salad. We all had fried chicken, which was so flavorful. Like I said, everything is good. And then The water cornbread was something totally different and enjoyable. Service was so friendly and an example of true Southern hospitality I believe a lady that really stood up. Her name was Starla, so kind so sweet. Oh and the Sweet Tea

It was fun to see how the restaurant ended and the store began. It was such a great vibe showcasing all things local to the area including jams, pickles, and sauces! Now to the food! Definitely recommend their jalapeño sausage and BBQ sauce. The two of these together bring an amazing heat and sweetness that just makes your taste buds sing! I also really enjoyed their green beans that were well seasoned and not overly salty! The staff was also very nice as well! Remember to grab some pickles and onions from their topping buffet as you eat in or get to go!

There is a daily menu on the board and you just grab a piece of of parchment paper and a pen and circle your likings. The service is above and beyond friendly and helpful and they showed me dining like a Sunday dinner at my aunt Rosie's when I was going up. I ordered everything I felt I had to try and now that I'm all growned up I don't have to eat it all to leave the table lol I ordered deviled eggs (Amazing) Mac n cheese (sooo good) stewed potatoes (seasoned so perfect) fried pork chops (to die for ) and both desserts banana pudding and pound cake , both are making there way back to my hotel for my snacks . Everything has good taste no salt and pepper needed and the price for all that was reasonable and most definitely worth every dime . I work out here on and off every other two weeks and now found a place that's good down home eating . If you live here and haven't been , shame on you (unless you haven't yelped it yet like I did) and if you do know then you've been back multiple times I'm sure , as I will . It's got enough seating for a small gathering , probably about 12-14 tables of four . I support the little places before the commercial places and this is why!!!

So after sitting waiting on our food for over an hour the server offered us something different from what we paid for because they had no more of what we ordered. Yes you pay in advance! The menu says the plates are $11.75 & $14.75 but in actuality the plates are $18+. After they ran out of the beef tips and vegetables i ordered they just brought me what was in the kitchen. Chicken thighs. For someone who doesn't even eat chicken! Oh, they had a problem with me not just taking what they offered me. After 2 hours we left. No apologies, no compensation and not even a return good bye when we said thank you while leaving. This woman will cater to the business around town and treat her black customers like we should be glad just to be in her facility.

The venue is delightfully intimate and cozy, offering lovely private seating options and a wonderfully inviting ambiance. Their offerings are quite well-rounded, featuring everything from great coffee and fine wines to an impressive selection of craft beverages. The hospitality was exceptional from start to finish the team, from the kitchen staff to the servers, was remarkably warm, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable. It felt like true, classic American warmth at its finest! For my luncheon, I selected the small Smokey Pig Pizza paired with a crisp Coca-Cola. When the pizza arrived, it was an absolute triumph boasting rich, complex flavors and a perfectly crafted crust. It was a complete hit in every respect!
