I stopped by this place to check it out. I must say, I'm glad I did! the lady who took my order was very friendly and the food was so....good! I've been looking for homemade tasting mac and cheese and I must say, they did not disappoint. I had fried chicken, green beans and mac and cheese. My food was hot and my chicken was fried to perfection. The guy came out and asked how everything was, he was also a funny guy. I love this place and will definitely stop by again. read more

This is the best kept secret in McDonough, GA for now because in a couple of weeks this place will be the best Soul Food spot in the state PERIOD!!!!!! Great Food from the Collard Greens to Mac and Cheese, then there was the Chicken to the Salmon Cakes. The food was hot and had the Home Cooking touch to it. I don't even live in GA.

Carolyn Quinns is the best southern comfort food in South Henry County. I love their fried fish, mac and cheese, potato salad, but the blackeye peas is out of bounds.

This is strictly about the customer service I received from Shay, the short older lady serving the line. I asked for my pork chop to be cooked fresh when I placed my order. I did not want the pork chops that were already sitting there. Instead of honoring that request, she served me the same pork chops I specifically said I didn't want -- and then wanted to debate with me about when they were cooked. Ma'am... why are we debating? I asked for my pork chops to be dropped upon request. This wasn't unreasonable -- I've asked for it before with no issue. Customer service matters just as much as the food.

We used to have family in the area, but unfortunately haven't been down here in 5 years as a result of them not being in the area anymore. When we used to stop in, the service was unbeatable. Everyone would treat you like family, and would get you your food fast. Now, since the restaurant is under ***new ownership***, we are not sure if that is still the case. Our server was great (she remembered our family even after 5 years (connected the dots to us)), but the rest of the employees and the community within the restaurant felt a bit stuffy. They used to have the best coffee. It is still good now, but something changed (not quite as good). Their pancakes are unfortunately rubbery, but contrastively, they have great bacon; crisp with a bit of fat, that's how we like it. Their hash browns have not changed one bit. They are still crispy!! Some stuff has changed in the atmosphere of the restaurant. They generally have the same theme, but some of the signs have changed.
