“ Breakfast was delivered, I did not go to restaurant...It was was fresh,tasty and pricing was little less than other places.Willget delivery or go here in the future...Food was very tasty.I would rate it tops in comparison to Kings and Dons for Breakfast .Keep good quality ”
“ This is my new favorite breakfast spot! The food and hospitality was amazing!! I definitely will be returning. ”
“ I ordered via ubereats so I can only speak about the food I received. It was piping hot and fresh when it was delivered. The catfish was delicious, and I liked that I received 3 pieces. Some soul food places tend to be stingy with the catfish, but their portions were great. The candied yams were good but nothing out of the ordinary. I enjoyed the Mac and cheese as well. It came with a piece of cornbread. The cornbread was a bit bland, in my opinion. I've definitely had better cornbread. But overall the meal was satisfying and I wouldn't mind ordering from them again. ”
“ Food was impeccable. I love my food hot not cold. Seasoning on point. Biscuit oooh lord.. ”
“ Food is delicious!! And the waitresses they're always very pleasant. The food is cooked to perfection, not overly seasoned, just right!! The biscuits are so fluffy. Fried chicken yesss!! Grits and shrimp come on now!! ”
“ Love this place, as one of the few soul food restaurants I can still find in the area that the food is still delicious!! Had a hot chocolate and the beef sausage breakfast platter with scrambled eggs, grits, and homemade biscuits. My mom had the fried catfish with grits and biscuits with coffee. The catfish was fried to perfection and seasoned very well. And loved grits and biscuits. Our waitress was so nice and attentive, she made sure we had everything we need and checked on us consistently. The furniture has been updated and the decor was nice and they had a nice music playlist. The restroom was very neat and clean. ”
“ If you're looking for a good old Southern breakfast- LOOK NO FURTHER! There is no place like this place, so this must be THE PLACE! Warning: the outside of the restaurant is an eyesore! But once you're inside eating that delicious food, you'll forget all about it! My parents raves about the fish and grits so that's what I ordered. The fried whiting was fresh, seasoned well, and fried just how I like it! The grits were buttery and creamy and had not one lump- iykyk! The homemade biscuits were some of the best I've ever had in my life! Chefs kiss to it ALL! *parking available *they accept cash and credit cards *20% gratuity automatically added ”
