Delicious Soul Food made with love! Daily Specials from served -for-you buffet are the key. We had fried chicken, oxtails with rice and gravy, lima beans, field peas and best-ever Mac ‘n’ cheese and collards. We took ours to go as it seemed most people do.

It’s a family own restaurant that serves well seasoned real country soul food. If you like to feel like you’re in your grandmother’s kitchen then you’re at the right place. They serves pigtails, oxtails, smothered hamburger and beef liver, turkey wings, fried chicken, pork chops, stew chicken. You can imagine whats the sides are! Macaroni, collards, rice, green beans, corn, cabbage, cornbread etc. They also serves desserts like different types cakes squares and for drinks they have Pepsi soft drinks, sweet tea, lemonade and kool- aid (different flavors).
