My husband and I ordered chicken and red velvet waffle, small Mac n cheese, and a turkey barbecue plate with corn bread, Mac n cheese, and baked beans. All of the food was good. The turkey barbecue was mind blowing. It was nothing like my husband and I was expecting, but it was delicious! We are definitely going back again.

I decided to try this place for a cheat day. I just got sides and omg. This food made me dance. All I know is next time I'm ordering food for 2 days because I haven't had good soul food like this in a long time. Yes it's the south but these days the food is either too greasy, porky or some type of fusion. Not this place.

Its not fast food so don't get mad when it takes a little for your food. But let me tell you worth the wait 100% the waffle was practically like cake it was so moist and delicious. And the fried chicken was fresh and cooked to perfection! They where super busy but extremely friendly definitely will be going again.

This place serves the best fried chicken and fried shrimp. I love to pair it with mac n cheese and their baked beans. Definitely my place to go for great soul food!

Traveling to see family in SC and this place came up on Google on our way. Everything was outstanding and very well priced. Went back for the banana pudding. I will dreaming about this banana pudding for the rest of my life.
