I've wanted to stop here for some time, but because I rarely come into this strip mall I kept forgetting. Today I finally made it. I thought I'd keep it simple and ordered just one fried founder filet, hush puppies, and cole slaw. They don't have soft drinks in the fountain, just cans. Also drinks in bottles. Even though I thought I said I'd be dining in, my food came to the table in a take out bag and container. I give them a plus for using an environmentally paper food container, but the utensils are plastic. When I opened the box I was surprised to see several filets rather than just one. Probably because the fish was nearly as thin as a paper plate. The tarter sauce is not homemade, but rather in a pkg like ketchup comes in. Even though the fish was lightly fried, the very thin edges were so crisp the tiny plastic knife couldn't cut thru it, so I ended up eating with my hands. There's way too much salt in the breading IMO that sadly overpowers the flavor of the fish. The hushpuppies were so over fried on the outside it was a battle to get my small plastic fork thru, but they were soft inside. The cole slaw, while tasty, had a strange grayish color which didn't make it look very appealing. If you come here don't expect to have a mellow dining experience. Although there were only a handful dining in (most customers seemed to be getting take out) two Very loud tv's are competing with each other. One plays the network news and the other an ongoing gospel performance. It was really ear splitting and unsettling. All and all a so-so experience, for me at least.

I have been seeing this place on my IG feed, so I decided to give it a try. Maybe it was what I ordered or an off day, but it was underwheming: the hamburger steak and gravy was a tad too salty, the greens were bland, and the Mac & cheese was less than impressionable. I also ordered a pineapple lemonade ($3+). It was good but it wasn't cold and this establishment has no ice (huh?). I may give it another go, but I guess I need to bring my own drink/ice and I will definitely be cognizant of what I order.

Ordered and paid for food online was told it would be ready at 5:05. Arrived at 5:05, tried to call the restaurant to verify food was ready. Phone number advised to call in text message didn't work as well as none of the other phone numbers listed. Went into the restaurant that was unbearably hot with NO AC! Asked about my order and was told it was not ready. After waiting 15 minutes in the hot restaurant inquired again about my food and asked for a refund if it was not ready. Kitchen staff came out and said cashier didn't notify them that I was there and that it would be another 5 minutes. I wanted to leave but I only stayed because I had a hungry toddler with me, Darius Cooks said the food was good and my husband wanted to try it since we were in town. Left to me I definitely would have left as I hate chaos and dysfunctional businesses. On to the food. Terrible!!! It was piping hot but nothing we ordered was good. The Mac and cheese has a weird porky taste. The chicken and dumplings were slimy, the Yams were gross, the chicken wings had weathers on it. The fried wings were salty and the baked wings were soggy. Huge disappointment and a waste of $40!!

The food wasn't good. The service was average. The environment wasn't welcoming. This was my third time giving the business a try. The isn't as good as another local soul food spot.

I always get the wings and they are delicious. I've always ordered out never actually sat in so I really can't say much on the ambiance but the service is great.

Tried for the 1st time last week and what a treat! The man at the counter was very friendly and helpful (and his sample of the pineapple pudding at the end of our ordering sold him 2 to go orders!) I got the fried fish/w 2 sides. I peeled the thin dark skin off the back leaving only flaky white fish and a very nice golden brown coating, excellent! Got the garlic mashed potatoes w/brown gravy, the garlic flavoring in the potatoes was just right and the optional gravy I got was an excellent compliment without being overpowering, the turkey pinto beans were a very pleasant surprise as I have never tasted pinto beans like that before, excellent flavor! I will be back soon and will be recommending to family and friends!
