Driving by this place and seeing the outside is what initially intrigued me. Now normally, whole in the wall, off the beaten path places heighten my interest, but after trying this food today, I now know why I always drove past this place. When I first opened the food, it didn't smell 100% fresh, and then my order was wrong. I ordered the rib, chicken, and chop combo with green beans and okra.

I stepped out to call, came back in to place the order and was completely ignored. The guy actually left to go get his phone and charger out of his car, came in plugged it up and sat down. Wow, I politely left without a word. What a shame because the food looked and smelled...
