Amazing food and wonderful people! Had the smoked sausage with a side of collards, a roll and a lemonade to wash it down. The smoke sausage is scored before they smoke it getting that flavor all through the sausage and giving it a nice texture. ...Read More

I ordered fried wings yams and Mac. Wings were burnt and tasted funny like it was fried in old grease. No season or taste to them. I couldn’t even barely eat it. And I don’t even want to save it. TRASH. My cousin got turkey...Read More

They were out of a lot of items even with it being an early Friday afternoon so I was left with choosing the fish/shrimp combo. The food was okay. Cabbage was a missle so it made up for it, but that fish and shrimp...Read More

For them to have a dine in option where there were just 2 tables and 3 chairs to a table. Service was horrible. The trash looked like it wasn’t taken out in a week or so. The shrimp had no flavor.

Looks like a nice place once you enter, but the atmosphere of feeling invited into your establishment was not the vibe I was expecting. Asked a question, and the girl in the back with the nasty pink shirt was nasty. Food tastes good, but hospitality...Read More

Staff very friendly. Ordered the chicken and dumplings for takeout. To my disappointment, the chicken and dumplings were extremely salty, and inedible. It's concerning when the owner has to post a sign stating no refunds. The issues with the over salted foods, and other concerns...Read More

I've been eating here for a few years. The flavor of the food has changed drastically. On this particular trip, nothing was edible. There are no refunds, so I just didn't eat it. I will try it again in a couple of months.
