When I YELPED this place I wasn't expecting to find a home style exterior, and was pleasantly…read moresurprised when I went inside. There is a daily menu on the board and you just grab a piece of of parchment paper and a pen and circle your likings. The service is above and beyond friendly and helpful and they showed me dining like a Sunday dinner at my aunt Rosie's when I was going up. I ordered everything I felt I had to try and now that I'm all growned up I don't have to eat it all to leave the table lol I ordered deviled eggs (Amazing) Mac n cheese (sooo good) stewed potatoes (seasoned so perfect) fried pork chops (to die for ) and both desserts banana pudding and pound cake , both are making there way back to my hotel for my snacks . Everything has good taste no salt and pepper needed and the price for all that was reasonable and most definitely worth every dime . I work out here on and off every other two weeks and now found a place that's good down home eating . If you live here and haven't been , shame on you (unless you haven't yelped it yet like I did) and if you do know then you've been back multiple times I'm sure , as I will . It's got enough seating for a small gathering , probably about 12-14 tables of four . I support the little places before the commercial places and this is why!!!

The service was the only thing good on my last visit. They…read morefilled the call in orders for the local businesses before feeding the customers in the restaurant. So after sitting waiting on our food for over an hour the server offered us something different from what we paid for because they had no more of what we ordered. Yes you pay in advance! The menu says the plates are $11.75 & $14.75 but in actuality the plates are $18+. After they ran out of the beef tips and vegetables i ordered they just brought me what was in the kitchen. Chicken thighs. For someone who doesn't even eat chicken! Oh, they had a problem with me not just taking what they offered me. After 2 hours we left. No apologies, no compensation and not even a return good bye when we said thank you while leaving. This woman will cater to the business around town and treat her black customers like we should be glad just to be in her facility.

We lucked out as this place is only open on Sundays and it happend to be Sunday. We stopped in for…read morea late lunch about 1:30 and we're given a nice welcome. We were told there were only a few items left as they had sold out of other stuff. We got the smoothered pork chop, two scoops of rice with the pork chop gravy on top, and a scoop of cooked cabbage. The meal also included a roll similar to a kings Hawaiian, a slice of cornbread, a slice of cinnamon cake, and a choice of drink which was koolaide or bottle water (since I am diabetic We went with water), also a side of hot sauce and small container of cranberry sauce.The man and I shared the plate and it was enough for the two of us or easily one really hungry person. The pork chop was so tender we didn't need a knife and the gravy was so flavorful. The rice was lightly seasoned and I appreciated the gravy on it (next time I will ask for extra gravy). The cornbread was sweet and the roll was soft. I loved the cabbage it was soft and had a sweet flavor to it. Overall I can't wait to go back and try more things on Sundays. The meal was about $14 and some change and that included a 3% credit card charge which was fine.

Second time here and still delicious…read more We tried to go Friday and the parking was insane, that's probably my only complaint about the entire experience . We started with the upside down chicken Caesar salad with fries. Delicious. Fries could've been hotter but the salad was the star. A meal on its own but i love that red fish so much. So seasoned, beautiful meaty fish, mmm. The service was wonderful and the sweet tea was delicious. I will always come here if I'm in town!

as a visitor to Monroe, Louisiana, this restaurant was a highly recommended place. The restaurant…read moreitself was very large with a nice decorated bar. The music playing was very fun and the workers were extremely welcoming. However, given that it's near the river, it would be nice if they considered having outdoor tables, but it doesn't seem like there is much to see either way. We all got various cocktails, and I would highly recommend the lemonade if you really like something sweet. My table and I shared the duck wraps. they were filled with cream cheese jalapeño, and was wrapped in bacon. It was slightly sweet, which I didn't entirely prefer, but it was still very tasty and a unique dish that I would recommend everyone to try. I personally got A Burger and it was much larger than I thought it would be. It was very tasty, but it didn't have much sauce so it was slightly dry. The rest of my table got various seafood dishes, and they had very large portions. They all mentioned how well seasoned everything was. The one caveat of this restaurant was that everything took so long to get to our table. our waitress also didn't come check on us after delivering our food until it was time to pay, which was unfortunate.

They normally give a meat over rice and gravy with two sides along with hot water cornbread and cake! Today they had no cake and for the fried chicken I received two of the smallest wings after waiting 39 minutes for them to fry some! Then had the nerve to charge full price for a plate!! I was hungry so I paid, I called afterwards just to tell them the food was bland and the woman was not pleased with me! She informed me, "Well what do you want me to do about it, that's your prerogative." I then hung up and all I could do was laugh. I also will not be back there unless the usual cooks and staff are there! And I didn't even finish the food. It was that bad!

The food was mainly deep-fried: fried chicken, fried chicken livers, fried catfish. And fried catfish steaks were so full of bones, I barely got a few bites. Anyway, no, I would not recommend. Too expensive for a "greasy spoon" restaurant.
