Andy HalvorsenNovember 11, 2016Fried Chicken,Catfish and Collared Greens are the standout winners. Sugar tea tasted peculiar on my visit.
Marques StorgaJanuary 19, 2013Amazing Mac and cheese, corn bread is awesome, and the fried catfish couldn't be better. To bring it all together out have a very friendly staff. I'm always impressed when I come here.
Sean Chunky NguyenOctober 9, 2011Sunday Brunch is served from 12 to 4pm. $20 for adults and $11 for kids for all you can eat. Come check it out for a sample of everything. Fried chicken and fried catfish was very good. Rib was cold.
Everything in the menu is delicious. Get here early for lunch as it gets packed. Have the southern freed chicken and sweet potato fries with grape kool-aid....yummmmm!
Marcus GillespieJuly 31, 2015My favorite is the Dinner Combo plate with Brisket and Fried Chicken with collard greens and macaroni and cheese.
Please try the BBQ Chicken and or the Fried Fish with salad and their amazing macaroni and cheese. The staff is hit or miss and are best behaved when the owners are present.
ArdenJanuary 29, 2013Pretty tasty sunday brunch buffet... Best items were fried chicken, breaded catfish, mac n cheese, and corn bread! their grape mimosa tasted like it had no alcohol in it.
Kris Vera-PhillipsJanuary 14, 2014Try the Beef Brisket Sandwich - #kvpinmybelly : Yummy #BBQ! Thanks @ScoopRich ! Also loved collard greens with bacon. NOM
Brandon ZMarch 7, 2012The chicken is a must whenever you come here, the brisket isnt the best, so I dont recommend it for your first time.
Christine MorrisseyFebruary 12, 2012Share! They give you spoof much you end up bringing home more than half your food. The fried chicken is killer!
Try the Beef Brisket - Beef brisket, cornbread, sweet potato fries and mac & cheese
Fred BrionesDecember 11, 2011fried chicken is great and if you happen to come in on sat or sun...waffles are available.
Chris WoodsJune 22, 2013Arrive hungry, enjoyed the chicken, ribs and brisket... All I need now is a good walk, or a nap... :)
David LeVackNovember 20, 2011The people who work here are all great and when the food is fresh its delicious but the Sunday buffet leaves something to be desired. Turns out bbq wasn't meant to be left out for more than 15 minutes
Christopher HayashidaMarch 31, 2011The fried catfish and chicken is still juicy without being oily. A lot of food.
Kirk FortinAugust 13, 2015Dont Bother wasting your money here....I could cook better just using my Weber Grill in my back yard...all day everyday.
- Alex BugajskiApril 3, 2011Could be over an hour wait if you get there after 7 but still worth the wait
