While I know many come for the food, I personally make the 25-minute drive for one thing: the Sweet Potato Cheesecake. Or at least, I used to. Lately, it seems like something has changed in the process. The cheesecake hasn't been setting properly, and the cream cheese isn't fully blended into the sweet potato, leaving noticeable chunks. The flavor, once rich and decadent, has also diminished, making me question if it's still worth the trip. That said, I've heard the rest of the food is still solid, so if you're craving Southern comfort food, it may still be worth checking out. But for me, unless the cheesecake returns to its former glory, I might have to sit this one out.

Everyone that worked there greeted us and was so friendly. The baked lemon pepper chicken, yeast rolls, sirloin steak patties and Mac and cheese were delicious. I love all the floral/magnolia decor. The sweet potato pie was really yummy. The only qualm I have is that EVERY single vegetable item has pork in it. EVERYTHING. I know we're in the south, but I haven't eaten pork since the late 90s so it just truly never occurred to the that would be the case in 2026. I likely won't go back for a full meal because of this, because I don't want to get just meat and carbs. It was also a little pricey. $50 for 2 meals and a slice of pie. I would absolutely come back to get a slice of pie to go! That would definitely be worth the drive.

I ordered the turkey wings over rice, yams and macaroni with a side order of banana pudding. The customer service was friendly and polite. The food took about 10 minutes. The turkey wings were falling off the bone which I love. The seasoning was done well. Yams were soft and not too sweet. I love that they packed them in a separate container to avoid the juices moving around in the styrofoam container. The macaroni needed some work as I got the burnt cut. It was definitely left in the oven too long in a non greased pan. It wasn't bad but there was definitely a burnt aftertaste. The cornbread and drink was also included. The price point was very reasonable for that meal. Banana pudding was $7.00 and I feel it wasn't worth the price. The price point gave homemade dessert when in actuality it was a container of pudding with 4 wafers and 4 slices of bananas. Lastly completely check your order before leaving as I had to return for my dessert as it wasn't in my bag. Overall I would return and try some new items. I would recommend.

Our friends have been here before and wanted us to try it out since it's been around since 1955 --…read morethat alone made me curious! It's located right in the heart of downtown Tucker, with plenty of parking on the side and a spacious interior, including a private dining room for large parties. We came around 2:30 PM, after the lunch rush, so it wasn't too busy. The setup is cafeteria-style -- you grab a tray, walk down the line, and let the servers know what you'd like. Everything is à la carte, with entrées around $6-$8 and sides about $2.50-$3, so you're looking at roughly $15 per person for a full meal -- not bad at all. Everyday they have a different set menu of what they serve so you get a mixture. We ordered a bit of everything. I'm a big meatloaf fan, so I had to try it -- but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my hopes. It didn't look very appetizing and the texture was overly ground and slightly gritty because it was a bit dry. It comes with your choice of gravy or marinara sauce, but honestly, I would've preferred some classic ketchup on top instead. The fried fish was mostly batter with very thin fillets, so there wasn't much substance there either. The country fried chicken, however, was the highlight -- large portion, well-cooked, and flavorful. Just note that once you add the gravy, it loses that crispy texture and becomes soggy. The sides were decent but nothing memorable, and the bread and hush puppies were pretty dry. Since everything is counter-service, there isn't much staff interaction. You pay upfront, find your own seat, and when you're done, you just leave your tray -- there aren't any trash cans to clear your own table. Overall, the experience was just okay. It's a neat place with history and friendly vibes, but the food didn't quite hit the "soul" level I was hoping for. There are definitely other country-style spots I'd try before coming back.

They kept the spicy margaritas flowing, and let me tell you those drinks have just enough kick to make you rethink your life choices in the best way possible. Now, let's talk about this food, because I'm pretty sure I heard angels singing. The Fried Wings were fried to such perfection I'm convinced the chef has a PhD in crunch-ology. The Yams! These sweet potatoes were clearly touched by the Candy Lady herself. I don't know if it's sugar or magic, but I'm addicted. The Mac and Cheese! It was so perfect I almost asked it to marry me. My husband, went the "responsible" route with the baked turkey wing, green beans, and yellow rice. That turkey was falling off the bone like it was tired of being an overachiever, and the green beans had more flavor than my entire childhood. Even the rice was seasoned like it had a point to prove. Bottom line: If you're looking for us, we'll be here. This isn't just a meal, it's a spiritual experience. If "Soul Food" is the question, this place is the only answer.
