Absolutely wonderful. I had the beef stew corn and green beans. Enormous serving size. Delicious home cooking. Served by Pamela herself

This is Soul Food at its finest. Friendly service and a great clean storefront. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Alexandria that wants a Louisiana soul food experience.

We stopped here while passing through from out of state. This place is gem! We opted for the chicken wings with sides of broccoli cheese casserole, mashed potatoes with gravy, and green beans. There are many options for sides and it was hard to choose. Everything was so good! The loaded mashed potatoes and gravy were absolutely the best I have had. Green beans were perfectly seasoned and the broccoli cheese casserole was so yummy. The fried chicken wings were fresh and steaming hot and very flavorful. I doubt there's a bad item on the menu. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and we had an opportunity to meet the owner who is so sweet. She said the local economy is really hurting them and they have been slow. If you are local, please come support this establishment to ensure they survive. It would be a shame to lose this place. If you're traveling like us, be sure to stop. You won't be disappointed! Say hello to sweet Pamela and spread the love!

Oh my goodness, true down home cooking!!! The fish and shrimp were seasoned to perfection and the sides are outstanding! Too many sides to choose from! Service is friendly and they all make you feel at home; the owner and all her staff are so welcoming! The building is spacious with a cozy feel, perfect for any size gathering! My friend had the chicken wings and raved about them! Can't wait to go back!! Give them a try, you won't be disappointed!
