    Items at this comfort food joint include oxtail, meatloaf, smothered pork chops & turkey wings (suck it, vegetarians). If you have room for dessert, there's peach cobbler with a double portion option. Read more

    I had ox tails for the first time and I do not regret it. Yams were sweet and good. Rice is amazing. I wished the place was remodeled. Great family bussiness, the lady was beyond nice.

    Best mustard greens ever. Got one fried and one smothered pork chop. Liked the "hands-on" of the fried. Great corn bread too. Very happy tummy now.

    I had the fried fish. It was as good. The Mac n cheese was extra salty. I threw it away. Yams are good. Wait is terrible!!! 1hour to get my plate.

    It doesn't look good at all, and it does not smell good either, but the clients seems to be very devoted, maybe I'll try it some other day
