BUT when we got the good, it was SOOOOO GOOD. We got the brisket philly - Amazing. Kids got fried shrimp, cooked and seasoned very well.“

“The gal that took my order @ take out counter was very nice, friendly, helpful & attentive! She waited on another person after me & very nice & helpful! The meal was delicious ? hit the spot however the pieces of fish were very small as 2 pieces equaled 1 piece if sitting in the restaurant. The fries were like Wendy's fries & not like yall used to have! I called when I got home & a guy answered the phone & I told him my concern & he said he tells ppl to check the order before leaving which I didnt know I need to but I will from now on if i return. Me & a friend split the meal. The price was fine, the fish tasted good ?, she wasn't happy w/ her meal or her pecan pie so the 5* was more for the gal that took the order even tho my fish tasted good the pieces were way to small. The food I would rate a 3*Parking: Got a place near take out door.“

This restaurant is a great place to visit and dine in and I recommend it upon your visit to Memphis. I can’t wait to return to Memphis to try a new dish from the menu. The catfish, mac and cheese, hush puppies, and greens almost took me out, lol very delicious and the dessert was simply to die for.“

“This is one of my Monday lunch spots that goes in and out of my rotation. It will fade off my radar and then I will remember to get by here and I'll go a couple of times a month for a while. They serve a rotating menu based on the day of the week. I have been on other days, but I like the side choices best on Mondays. My go to is usually Smothered Pork Chops. My sides vary a bit, but I regularly get Northern Beans, Mac & Cheese, and Cream Corn. There seems to be a sweetness to everything I've eaten. Sometimes it can be a bit much and will sometimes spur my hiatus. Everyone is so friendly here. I've never encountered a single employee that wasn't cheerful and efficient. In all honestly, it's better than most places I go, anywhere in Memphis. It's cafeteria style, so you walk down the line and choose what you want. You can tell how fresh it is before you choose and I dig that. Dining room is good. Watch your step, platforms in and out of the booths. Someone will come get your plate and trash. They are always there to make sure you enjoy your food. I'll be back for sure.“

We all set around the table like one big family. And the smells that were coming from the kitchen just took me away, and when I got to taste the food. It was just like my mom's, God, rest her soul. I truly enjoyed the beautiful atmosphere n the hospitality was phenomenal. I will definitely be back !P.s try the kool aid??“

“Looking for great Southern food and a family-friendly atmosphere, this is the place. I love it. Southern Fried Chicken, Southern Fried Catfish, homemade cornbread muffins, homemade mac and cheese, and much more see the Menu I attached. The gentleman who works at the greeter station is always awesome, treats everyone with a smile, and a thank you baby...lol! he is so patient even if you are new and helps you with great recommendations depending on what you like. The best VIP (Tea/Leamond) I had on a long time. Southerners, this is a must try. I'm a Southern girl born and raise, trust me, it's home cooking.Vegetarian options: They have plenty sides a vegetarian can eat see attached menuParking: Parking Lot is really small, nice number or parks, but it can be tight, spacing is small, but not the worst.Kid-friendliness: yesWheelchair accessibility: yes“

Food is always delicious the setting is very low-key the surround windows bring in just enough light every time I go I make sure I get the soul roll there so good and I don't even eat Mac& cheese and greens that damn dipping sauce for them all I can say is DAMN!!! On my second visit I tried the chicken bowtie pasta so the best pasta I ever had Jesus had to put his feet in it“

“Very affordable dinner especially recommend the meat plus two vegetables with bread. Only thing that is a disappointment are the deserts. Cobbler is not fresh, seems stale. Hope they'll consider improving their deserts. Fried eggplant for a vegetable is especially a nice pick that few restaurants offer.“

Cooked nicely — yams were soft and sweet, green beans were soft without being mushy, mac and cheese creamy and perfection, in other words it was everything expected!Oh — and cornbread worthy of a southern cook!Looks like they have different choices daily. Look forward to returning and trying some chicken.“
