While the wait for all that we purchased was about 45 minutes the food was amazing. You can tell fresh cooked vs reheated. Hubby ordered catfish meal with smothered potato salad and collard greens. I had the whiting with 5 cheese Mac Cheese and buttered grits. Both had 2 large pieces of filet. No seasonings needed for anything nice size portions, could not finish everything!!

“ First time ordering from here and the food was good especially the collard greens. The fried whiting fish could use a bit more seasoning for taste though but everything was good. I had fried fish , mac cheese, collard greens and cinnamon sweet potatoes. My only issue with this store, is they always closed . Smh ”
