👍👍 Got lunch here for the first time. I really enjoyed it. The smothered okra was very tasty. The cornbread was the best, and I loved the yams, not sure if they were homemade though. I will definitely go back for lunch. I also liked that the catfish was not real salty. Very friendly service.

👍👍 Our first time and we will definitely be returning. We walked in and the young lady behind the register seemed a bit nervous, but she was cordial. There was a young man there sitting at the bar eating. He was helpful with some of the selections. Thank you for advising us on trying the peach cobbler...
