In town for a little league baseball tournament, saw the reviews for this place and decided to give it a try. Don’t judge when you see that this place is unassuming, behind a gas station. The decor is very plain like an old diner. But...Read More

First time here, came with a couple very familiar to the restaurant:). Fried chicken was awesome and the fried chicken livers were scrumptious. Next time I’ll probably request a dipping sauce to accompany them. Fried Okra was yum! Service was great. A new...Read More
