Forkers BBQ and Catering

Southern restaurant (US)

🫤 Great amount of food for the price. However, fries were super burnt, pulled pork was dry, and the baked beans tasted as if they came right out of the can. They were short staffed but super friendly.

Ruby Sunshine

Brunch restaurant

👍 Ruby Sunshine is a nice breakfast restaurant with a good-sized menu. The best part was they have good-sized portions: not oversized. I had the smoked salmon omelet and hubby had the southern breakfast. I told Bailey, our waitress that I didn't want the biscuit so she let me replace it with another s...

Park Place Restaurant

Restaurant

😐 This place used to be spectacular they had a dessert bar that was truly a home run. But that was then. The rush hour seems to be about 3:30 to 5:00. The crowd is about 60 plus. Suits me fine because those people know how to social distance. The food was adequate, but don't expect service that counts...

👍 Kind of a cool vibe in this sorta Southern food joint. For appetizers we got green fried tomatoes which were ok. The okra was ok. My shrimp and crawfish Cajun style was excellent! I really enjoyed it ( and I’m a northern guy). My friend liked his crab cakes sandwich. Service was ok
