Never understood why the phone numbers didn’t work when they had one or why they don’t have a phone number now but….. The macaroni and cheese was good. The yams are beyond good The bake chicken was a dry but still good. (I took a piece off to make sure it was done) The friend chicken didn’t have any seasoning so it was very bland The corn bread was ok…wasn’t sweet

Update: Went back in here after two years, the place is less inviting. I got the pork chop sandwich and it was delicious. It is served on a dinner roll. Amazing food and wonderful people! Had the smoked sausage with a side of collards, a roll and a lemonade to wash it down. The smoke sausage is scored before they smoke it getting that flavor all through the sausage and giving it a nice texture. I got it smothered with gravy and onions. It comes on a bed of rice but I am not supposed to be eating carbs so I asked for no rice, that was a huge mistake. The gravy was so good I thought to myself this needs some rice. The sausage is spicy but not Thai food hot. The menu says the dinner is $15.75 but I didn’t get the dinner, so mine was only $10.50, this is an amazing price for all of this delicious food. The collards were really good, they had some red pepper flakes to spice them up and they were not over cooked. Some places that make large batches will let it cook too long before they serve it. They still had a good texture which made you realize you were eating a fresh cooked product. I thought they gave me extra collards because I told him I didn’t want rice but after I asked them, they told me that’s how much collards you get. It was served with a 24 ounce iced lemonade which was really good, hit the spot with that spicy sausage. Now let’s talk about the people in there. I dealt with three people and they were the nicest you would ever meet. I saw in some of the reviews there were issues with employees but I just wonder if someone was having a bad day. Besides, it takes two to make a bad experience. The lady Who took my order was very helpful with the menu when I told her I was trying not to eat fried food. The guy that served my food and got my drink was very courteous and made sure I had everything I needed. When I was done I talked to the lady again along with a man that I think does all the smoking. We talked for a few minutes and I could tell they were genuinely good people, I don’t know if they were family but they seem to be. I watched a lady order the oxtail dinner and both her sides were yams. I don’t know what they do with these yams but next time I’m ordering that. She said they were delicious. I also wanna try the crabcakes and a few other items. The menu in my pictures isn’t accurate as they had some things penciled in on a different menu, I get the feeling that they cook what’s on the menu and occasionally add a few things which is very homely. Eat here, you will feel like you’re back in your grandmothers kitchen.

I really enjoyed the food. I ordered catfish with Mac n cheese and collard greens. Fish was fried to perfection and the portions were good also. I called in my order and didn't have to wait long for my food. Overall great experience

Not really one to leave reviews but I’m from Southwest Georgia and this is by far the best soul food I’ve had in ages. The portions sizes are amazing and the flavor is truly to die for. Hands down best soul food spot in the state. Worth every penny.

Looks like a nice place once you enter, but the atmosphere of feeling invited into your establishment was not the vibe I was expecting. Asked a question, and the girl in the back with the nasty pink shirt was nasty. Food tastes good, but hospitality is greatly needed.
