I found this restaurant on the maps app and thought I'd give it a try…read more The staff were courteous and friendly and greeted me when I walked in. I placed my order and grabbed a 10lb bag of ice for $2 for my cooler in the car. The menu selections and sides were plentiful. I opted for the fish and shrimp combination plate with greens and black eyed peas. The dining room was clean and I noticed that it is available for private parties. One of the staff also mentioned that they host events like paint and sip and have a Thanksgiving buffet planned. They also have take out and delivery options. The food arrived hot and fresh. The shrimp was battered well and seasoned to perfection. The fish was a large portion and seasoning well. It was just a little salty, but that's a "me thing" because I don't use salt for health reasons so I notice it when I dine out. Again, the fish was seasoned well, just a bit salty for my personal taste. It will probably be fine for someone else. The price point was mid range. My total bill was $28.15 for the combination plate, ice, a bottle of water, and gratuity. Great restaurant with great staff. I'd definitely frequent often if I lived closer.

For the amount of money I paid for our meals, I was highly disappointed. The food wasn't good. And,…read moreI didn't get what I ordered. Unfortunately, this was a take-out order, so I didn't check my food until I drove away. How can you not mention you're out of potato salad and give me a double dose of green beans, which tasted like they came straight from a can? The mashed potatoes certainly tasted like they did. Before I opened my to-go container, my sweet potatoes were so runny they spilled out of the container, down the sides, and dripped into my bag. It was a mess! The fried chicken tasted burnt, possibly fried in oil that needed to be refreshed. I was hoping for a better experience considering the highly-rated reviews, but unfortunately, I didn't get it.

I love the food and the customer service is great. Great atmosphere and music for the family.read more

Listen! I know good soul food, and this spot here has "hit the spot!" But because it's Friday, it's…read moreCatfish Friday! So I quite naturally ordered the max. piece catfish (3 pc.) with fries and greens, and OMG! The flavor, the crispiness! Just like I fry it! Excellent customer service! Needless to say, this is now my "catfish spot" whenever I visit the area again. For dessert, I had the peach cobbler. Another hit! So balanced with flavor and sweetness! My family had the oxtails and blackened salmon. They are licking their fingers! Why is this place not rated a perfect 5?! You better believe they get 5 stars from me! Earned! (Sorry, I ate my fish and peach cobbler before I realized I didn't take a pic. And the presentation was magnificent on all plates!)

The point is plentiful, delicious, so much to choose from and the customer service is next to none! The restaurant was filled with diverse patrons, the mood was set to great old school music.

I got a small corn so to begin with the macaroni and to your neck cause that is nasty. It taste like came out of the air. Secondly, there is no season on these oxtails no gravy and nothing there is nothing going on here like the greens are spectacular. It could use a bit of seasoning on the rice and oxtail on the pork chop plate the pork chops are perfection the gravy not so much. The yams they are OK. The corn is bussin. Nice staff clean and service was quick and easy
