“This was a really interesting restaurant for us. We are from Las Vegas and here for a hockey tournament. I just love good food and I try not to eat at chain restaurants when I’m traveling. I love to try the local fare. This is perhaps the best collard greens I’ve ever had my daughter and I both got chicken and waffles. I got the orange chicken and she got the regular. Both were great. The fried chicken is perfect. it was a pricey meal for two people. But I still gave a big tip because the food was delicious. The portion sizes were excellent as well! The piña colada bread, pudding, taste exactly like a piña colada.

“I went to Arlington to look at a potential employer. After looking them over I looked for somewhere to eat and Bodacious came up on Google maps. They had a special on sloppy Joe so I got two and some deviled eggs.
When I reached the cashier I didn't have my wallet on me. So I ran out to my car where I couldn't find it either.
I went in to apologize and they gave me my meal free. I'll definitely be back if I get the job and will send them the money if I don't.
PS. The sloppy Joe's were classic just spicy enough and the deviled eggs were delicious.

“I enjoyed my chicken fried steak meal, with two sides. Anytime, I want a chicken fried steak, this is my go to. The food was served hot, and our server Bria was super nice. She came back several times to see if we needed anything else. My sister was not satisfied with her meatloaf. Only because the sauce was catsup. The manager agreed to take half off the ticket, she had eaten most of the vegetables. We appreciated it. Bria was patient with us. It wasn’t busy so we asked her if she would take a few pictures of us. The entire experience was pleasant.“

Had chicken fried steak mashed potatoes and fried okra. Chicken fried steak was good..not great but it was good, mashed potatoes were mediocre but the okra…
That okra was Freaking Awesome.. best part of the meal. Hot and fresh and on point.
Rolls and cornbread were good but could have been hotter.
Service was a tad bit slow… took awhile to get our drinks.“

“I will give this restaurant a lot of credit. I called 10 mins ahead of time to ask if they could take 16 of us at lunch time. They said they could. We got there and didn’t have to wait long before being sat.

The only thing I found odd were the tables were bolted to the floor. So we all had to sit at different tables because they couldn’t make one long one.

Our server was a rock star and got all our drinks and food correct and in a timely manner.

The food was very good and reasonably priced.

Kid-friendliness: This is a very casual, kid friendly restaurant. We had 6 kids with us and they all found food they liked and could be kids.“
