The food was hot and fresh but we did have to wait a bit. I'd suggest ordering ahead it seemed to be the trend. We tried the catfish, fried chicken, fries, and fried green tomatoes. Unfortunately, the fried green tomatoes were a bit disappointing and flavorless, but the rest of the meal was really good. The chicken and fish were crispy and juicy. Although the dining area didn't quite live up to our expectations, so we decided to take our food to go instead.
Food was top tier, I mean I’ve never had something like it! I got the 6 piece wing combo with fries and sprinkled some lemon pepper on it, it was amazing, best chicken I’ve ever had especially cause it was fresh out the fryer. As for the service, they were all very patient as I had not known what to order until Mohammed the man upfront recommended some dishes I could try out. Thank you for your wonderful service jjs, I will be coming back!
I was there today and I had their chicken tenders and jumbo shrimp and it was absolutely amazing. I will definitely be back to try out other things on the menu
