"Stopped by to pickup lunch for my friend's and I. Three - half a chicken plates with green beans, broccoli cheese casserole, steamed cabbage, & potato salad. Served with a roll. If you eat it in the restaurant it's better as the skin is crispy and delicious. But since I got it to go the Styrofoam trays steam it and the skin is a little more soft... but just as delicious!"

"This place is a great hole-in-the-wall restaurant! It has great spicy dipped chicken, fried okra, and mac and cheese. I will definitely come back again!"

"We passed this place before and decided to try it out today. We got chicken wings and fries. The chicken wings are exactly what i have been looking for, for years. When we lived in Las Vegas,NV, years ago, we could get these in most pizza places. The last few years we lived there, we could not find wings like this anywhere. Wings just haven't been the same for years. Until today. Thank you so much for this great flavor. We will definitely be back for the wings and we look forward to trying other menu items."
