    The food is really good and most the waiters are very kind and polite however I called them a few days and assume they were busy because whoever answered the phone did not seem like they were very happy I wouldn't exactly say they were rude they just weren't nice. Still most definetly recommend them if you want some good southern food and eat in a nice homely environment.

    After driving by many times, it sparked my interest to try this restaurant. Walking inside, I wondered if I had made the right choice, the decor isn't vintage but just old and doesn't flow. We ordered the Fried Chicken and Beef N' Noodles. The chicken was the best fried chicken I've had outside of the South. The Beef N' Noodles tastes really good too. The sides were not great but edible. We ordered the Apple Dumplin' even though we were full and it is not to be missed. I would go back just for this dessert.

    I had the Sunday brunch its one of the worst buffets I have had. Only two proteins chicken and meatloaf both of them were not good and the price of it was two high. $18.85 with no desert that's crazy.
