Exquisite, Warm, and Loving! Couldn't believe my mom wasn't offended when I told her the macaroni and cheese was the best I'd ever tasted. She actually agreed. That's quite a feat! Do yourself a favor and visit as soon as possible.

I can’t believe how much food was included in my dinner! When they say a 1/2 baked chicken, they are not talking about a little hen. The chicken, cabbage and Mac and cheese are seasoned well and fresh. The restaurant is spotless and the customer service is top notch. I didn’t want to go when my dad suggested it, and I’m glad I went. I would’ve missed out on a great meal ⭐️
