    10 out of 10!!! Thoroughly enjoyed the fried catfish and shrimp combo mac & cheese collards mixed with cabbage, Candy yams, sweet cornbread , buffalo chicken wings And washed it all down with a tall glass of uptown our server I believe her name was Shamiya I could be wrong. I apologize if I have the incorrect name but it definitely started with SH, but she was amazing as well..my family is looking forward to going back.

    Everything about this restaurant was nice. The place is small but I like family friendly places. The waitress was really nice and personable. You could tell we was getting on her nerves it showed a little but she came back really fast it felt like eating a family member house. The food was exceptional. We had mac and cheese and greens and fried chicken. My sis had fish fried to perfection. I would recommend this place for sure. The vibe was top tier

    The food was so tasty. I ordered turkey wings, mac and cheese and collard greens. The turkey wings were so tender and the gravy was delicious. The Mac n cheese had a great amount of cheese and seasoning. The collard greens were a little sweet but edible. The cornbread was warm and melted in my mouth. I’d highly recommend this restaurant. Neidy was my server, she was very attentive and nice. I will be back!!
