Some noted
The customer service is very good but a little disappointed picture explains itself right side membrane left side removal can’t even eat them because I’m unsure of the cleanliness.
Visiting from out of town and decided to try something new. Chef daddy’s caught my attention.
If you dont know your meats they definitely will give you something other than whats ordered like swai for catfish im a 32 yr chef lord they tried it on me never been back going on 3yrs now.

Ordered food for delivery. Received my order quickly and everything was fresh and hot. Had porkchops, green beans, mac and cheese, cornbread and a slice of caramel cake. Good portions. Had enough for 2 meals. Food was well seasoned and delicious!

“The food here is so good.”
The food here is so good! It was my first time going and I’ll be back to try everything on the menu. I spent less than $10 for the meatloaf, collard and cabbage greens, Mac n cheese & a pop. And I the meal came with cornbread (which was big and perfect). -I got the meatloaf because I haven’t had some in so long and wasn’t disappointed. It looked like a big meatball that was very juicy. The sauce had a slightly sweet taste, I got a spoon to make sure I got as much of it with every bite. -The greens had an unexpected little spicy kick and were so tasty! I wish I got some to go. -The Mac n cheese was so soft and cheesy!
