The website and the menu show $7 frozen drinks on Thursday's. I haven't been in years before my recent visit so I went based on posted info and ordered 2 frozen drinks after asking the waitress if they were in fact $7. She acknowledged they were. Get the receipt and they both show as $9.99. The issue was that when we politely asked why the manager just dismissed us and said they don't do it anymore even though we confirmed it three different times based on their ad and waitress knowledge. No they did not change the price or discount it. So we just paid,left, and won't be going back. It's the principle. Yall enjoy the mid food and dishonest customer service.

But I was hungry for a steak, and I ordered a filet, cooked med. What I received was some cut that had gristle in it. Very hard to cut, and it was undercooked rare. The server offered to send it back to cook it a little longer. But why would I want the same unknown cut of steak cook tougher. I declined. I ate the sides paid for a 36.00 steak. On our way out, I spoke to a manager. His response was, basically the same. Not I'm sorry, it was "we could have cooked it a little longer" This was a horrible cut of meat, definitely not a filet.

Sorry but to many young kids running around and saying stuff and doing things I don't want to see or hear while I'm trying to eat. I will go to the mall or go to the store in Oxford or Gasden to have a sit down meal. They mall isn't have as loud or anything like this was. Even on a weekend with all the kids running around.

The service was fine, but it was a little slow, maybe because they didn't have many servers working that day, when we talked to a server, we learned that the whole business had changed ownership completely, so the original owners were not in charge anymore. They actually sold the entire franchise company. There are many memories here going to college and visiting afterwards, but unfortunately, that place has changed. I still may come through here when I come through town, but just know if there are some better places in town to eat now.

Convenient parking, very friendly staff. We were seated right away while at the same time another waiter got started with our drinks. It's a very homie, relaxed ambiance with a couple of TVs playing sports. Now to the best part. We shared a Rib Plate and a Pulled Pork Plate with a side of Mac & Cheese, Cole Slaw and Corn Bread. They are not lying when they say the ribs are fall-of-the-bone and seasoned to perfection ribs. 110% recommended. After we got all our orders, a staff member stopped by our table to ask if everything was good. I loved that. He then asked if we were trying their famous pie? We said no. He emphasized we must try it. So we did. WOW! It was gone in the blink of an eye. We had it with shrimp and totally recommend it. Everything was delicious and priced fairly.

I did finally spot the smoker going outside, and saw the entrance obscured behind some trees. It is actually inside or what looks like an old dining hall or gym. The catfish I ordered was fried fresh and came out hot. The sides were lackluster IMO, with them not being bad, just nothing I would write home about. Greens did not have meat or flavor, outside of a hint of onion. Mac and cheese was baked and peppery, but just missing the rich cheesiness and gave buttered noodle vibes. There was an extra charge to have it packaged to-go, and a modest credit card convenience fee if you don't have cash. There appeared to be plenty of parking, although the designated areas for this restaurant wasn't clearly marked. Since the fish was good and I want to support a local black owned business, would probably come back and try the BBQ with either potato salad or just fries as a side. $2.50 for the red kool aid gets 5 stars

The historic vibe of the building adds something truly special. (If you're curious, this restaurant is located in a structure with roots dating back to the early 1800's--look up the history; it's fascinating to see how it's been preserved and transformed.) The dining room was buzzing with conversation, laughter, and a genuine sense of community. Black-and-white tile floors, exposed brick walls, vintage decor, and soft lighting make the ambiance cozy and nostalgic--like stepping into a different era. Dinner? Fantastic. Service? Even better. The staff was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Everything from the drinks to dessert hit the mark. This is more than a meal--it's an experience. A place that reminds you of the good old days, where time slows down and the food--and people--bring you joy.

$74 check! $22 steak for my 15 year old. Waitress Jessica got my order wrong. I'd never ordered a ribeye here. I ask for the 8 Oz. Pork Ribye and she rang 12 oz. Ribye for us both. No wonder we couldn't eat it all. I have patronized and given business 4 times in the last 4 weeks and I would think that if I let you know that the order was wrong and that I by no means intended to order what was rang I'd expect an apology and correction. I guess they are pressed for money to make me pay $74 for myself and 2 kids! The manage had sh*t customer service and seemed to not give a damn. It's not the money for me it's the principle! I am not broke! I had no problem paying any check but that was really f***** u* service today. I'm not at all happy leaving. read more
