The food was so good and the staff members were sweet and honest when it came to the food choices. Everything looked so good and the neckbones were tender and perfectly seasoned. They are not stingy on the portions at all and the price was as affordable.

We were passing through headed back to Georgia and was looking for some good food and to take a break from the road and just so happened this place showed up on google. I read the reviews and we decided it was a must to stop and try it out! We walked in and was welcomed by a friendly staff. This place was clean and the smell of the food was great. We placed our order and I must say the food didn't disappoint. It was delicious and the gentleman I'm assuming that was the owner told us that there was no need to watch our waist lines there as the portions were enough for two people. He also offered our kids dessert to take with them. This place was a blessing and we will definitely be back if ever in Meridian Ms.

Just stopped by after church services for a take out. First time visiting here. The portions are huge. The food is delicious. (Fried Pork Chop, rice/gravy, collards.) Nice dining area inside. Very friendly. Not Fast Food, but the service is fast and friendly! They can accommodate small groups also. 2 thumbs up.
