It's a southern comfort food restaurant. The hot entrees is fried green tomatoes, soft folls slathered with butter, fried and baked chicken, 3 different types of fish on Fridays, meatoaf, canned collards, corn and green beans, mac & cheese that could use more cheese, rice, shepards pie, and more. There is Brunswick stew and different soups. The cold bar has ingredients to make your own salad with different dressings, macaroni, broccoli & potato salads and more, desserts and beverages. There is a bar for kids like chicken tenders and other finger foods.

You can dine in for $9 (all you can eat) that includes a tall cup of sweet tea or choose to carry out.

Dining in is most cost effective. Either way,...

Your temperature is checked (on your wrist) when you enter the door, social distance seating, gloves are available (and required) when filling your plate, hand sanitizer is available next to the gloves, and one way entry/exit (except in emergency situations of course). Our used plates were practically immediately removed. Our glasses never reached the halfway mark and a server even brought a fresh glass of tea because my other glass "looked watered down". Due to limited seating during the pandemic, they do ask the you limit your visit to one hour during peak times. As for the food, they offer a great variety of homestyle foods, desserts, and fruits. You can't beat the price for the quality and attentiveness that...
