The service was hometown perfect, no rush, friendly vibes and the food let's just say I'm back home once a week from Peoria and so yeah I'm about to be a regular. The only chicken in 20 years that I enjoyed every single crumb of that well battered bird, the greens and Mac and cheese was on point. PS, you cant leave without the catfish and red beans and rice. So grab a few more dollars and get a second dinner to go. They cooked that food with love. Thank you to the Taylor family for showing love to the community that shaped us all. We will continue to support your efforts.
