Easy to pass by this small hole in the wall restaurant, but don't be fooled they are packing big flavor. Stopped by on our way to Charleston and ate a late lunch, we got fried pork chops with Mac and cheese rice and gravy with jalapeno poppers for an appetizer. They have water tea or lemonade to drink. Everything came out in a timely manner and the food was very good!

Went for Thursday steak night. The food was amazing! The steak was juicy and yummy, the potato was big with plenty of butter & sour cream, and you HAVE to taste the bread before you get too full! Took home a walnut brownie, which was also awesome! Go early!

About the size of a 2 car garage... and a local as you can possibly get. It gets packed cause folks know the secret. Daily specials go fast and you better get there early. The shrimp is fresh and flavorful and the fried catfish is INSANE! huge portions and incredibly fresh and tasty. Slaw is delicious and fried okra on point. No wonder the locals love this place. What a wonderful experience. Ask for Brenda, she is the owner. Jessica our server was fantastic! If you leave here hungry it is your own fault! Go for the fresh cinnamon rolls and banana pudding!

That’s southern country cooking! Very hefty portions; and a warning when we ordered a burger. It will take 1/2 hour because each burger is made fresh by hand when ordered. It was definitely worth waiting for and I’ll go out of my way to get another.
