"10/10 delicious!!! Can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu ! We shared a club , hotdog , country fried steak , okra ,curds , mashed potatoes and gravy ! All delicious! Only thing I can complain about is not having enough room to try the dessert! I’m sure that woulda been delicious as well ! If you are looking for a delicious home cooked style meal with lots of flavor , this is the place !"
