They were overall out of 4/5 flavors which was unfortunate. I had the sea turtle ice cream and there were no pieces of anything in my scoop. The cookie dough ice cream was grainy and made me cough.

I really want to like this place. They have a decent selection of sweet treats. But the service…read morejust hasn't been good, and the treats have disappointed on taste. On May 26, 2024, it took forever to get a staff member to give us a sample or two of ice cream flavors. They seemed annoyed we wanted to try a flavor and wanted to rush us to order. The Butterfinger ice cream I ended up getting had a weird banana taste to it, the cone was stale, and I've felt funny since I ate it. We've tried baked goods too. They were okay but unspectacular. Some of the items, like cheesecake slices, are overpriced when compared to the same type selections at other dessert shops in our region. The space is big and includes an outdoor seating area, but none of it is that inviting. Sometimes there appear to be staff members' kids or siblings wandering around and laughing judgmentally and creepily. The whole vibe is just odd, and after a few visits the place just disappoints.

The food however is not the best if never really been much of a fan of it anyway really but over the years this place has gone down hill.

One of my favorite parts was that they give whole pieces of bacon, unlike other places, the bacon is cut and they put a few pieces but this one was so good and the bacon was fresh and crispy as well too! My Husband and I did not go inside because it was raining but you could also tell everyone gets in and gets out. We did not see one person to pull up and stay to eat after getting their order, everyone pulled off right away. Overall, the workers were kind and the food was amazing.

They used to have a buffet here, however the waitress said that they don't do that anymore. I think that I have become so spoiled by Papa's and Beer in Shelby that this place was a major let down. I ordered the dinner combination that consisted of a burrito, a chimichanga and rice. The burrito was more like an enchilada. The chimichanga had no crunch to it and it was tiny as well. Last, but not least... Did this place give me, the bottom of the pot, hard and slightly burnt rice? What a disappointment. Sad sad sad. Can't really dismiss this place either. Would I try it again? I don't think so. One and done for me. Especially for the price.

I stopped by after work for my second visit. (I came in for the soft opening and forgot to post a…read morereview). The first time I came, I got the turkey chops and a turkey leg. I was very pleased with the seasoning, the portion size, and the overall taste of the chops and the legs. On this visit, I decided to go with some fried turkey, wings and okra. I waited for about 7 to 8 minutes for it to be prepared. I didn't mind because I wanted it freshly made. I didn't eat inside, but there are four tables and seating along the wall as well. Food was great. It was seasoned well and fried perfectly. The portion sizes were good for what I spent. The okra were extra but worth it for me. I also got the peach lemonade and it was nice peachy and sweet. They also carry desserts, but I will try that the next time. Stop in and check them out. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Great customer service!

I started out with the Turkey Knuckles.....OMG THIS IS A GREAT SPIN OFF TO BEEF STEW. The Turkey Knuckles were tender, succulent and savory. They were well cooked and paired over jasmine rice with potatoes and carrots. My 10 year old son said those were the best carrots he ever tasted! The fried turkey wings and Turkey Tips are fried to perfection, you can taste the seasoning throughout the turkey wing! They have the perfect crunch on the outside and are juicy and tender on the inside. The Grilled Turkey wings are paired with a homemade sauce that consists of sweet and savory spices with a hint of honey. The sauce is a must have it pairs well with everything! The Strawberry Crunch Poke Cake is like eating the best homemade strawberry shortcake ice cream in a cake minus the ice cream! Don't forget walk run and get it! The Vanilla Poke Cake is like eating banana pudding and vanilla cake together! The Sumthin' Sweet NaNa Puddin is so good and fluffy, the texture is perfect with Chessmen Cookies! All the lemonade Flavors are really good my favorite was the Peach!

Well... first, the customer service from our waitress could have been so much better. I liked that many people were here and had high hopes, but that went nowhere. I honestly don't like complaining, but it was interesting that we weren't even asked if we wanted any refills on our coffee, meanwhile everyone else around definitely had some refills. Our waitress hardly checked on us. We observed another young lady who was as sweet as can be (Samantha), and I actually asked her about the tea since I just wanted that because, truthfully, the coffee was basically mud water, and not in a good way. I also found myself having to ask our waitress how much longer for our food to come out because it seemed to take way too long for the food we ordered. I ended up leaving more than half my eggs and the city ham, but I definitely liked the pancakes; they were pretty good, and the norm of a grilled cheese sandwich was eatable. I will add I wasn't expecting a high-class breakfast, but what could've made things so much better would've been the attentiveness and customer service from our waitress. We won't be returning, to say the least; it's added into a list I have of "NEVER go." Wish it would've been a better experience.

Nice place to stop by when you want something quick and cheap, and to keep the kids happy.
