Great place for a meat-n-three meal. Our meals were well cooked and the service was friendly. Save room for the cake!

We went there on Sunday, August 9, 2021. We were on our way to Baton Rouge, traveling from Chicago. The food and the people were fabulous. It was nine of us and they were so nice. Stop by, you'll love it. The chicken and neckbones were as my young folks say "fire".
