Reviews
I can’t wait to visit again.
Catfish, fried green tomatoes, and turnips left no room for dessert unfortunately. I also tried the chicken and dumplings and a rib or two.
Hole in the wall and my kinda place.
You can smell the delicious smoke from outside the restaurant. It’ll stick with you, too, after you leave. 🙂
Walking in, the seating/ordering was a bit confusing. We stood around for 2-3 minutes wondering if we should order at the counter before being told we could sit anywhere we liked. The menus were brought to us shortly afterward. I think this place is mostly attended by regulars, so it’s not surprising that the folks there would assume we knew what to do.
My boyfriend and I had chicken and dumplings, lima beans, macaroni and cheese, cornbread, fried catfish, and fried okra, with sweet tea to drink. It sounds like a ton of food, but the portions and prices were reasonable. The lima beans were the bigger, mushier, brown kind, not the tender greener beans that I prefer, but these still had a nice meaty, oniony flavor.
The macaroni and cheese was baked, I think; it had a bit of a crust to it, which I liked a lot. The sweet tea was diabetes-inducing, so I naturally loved it. Cornbread was savory but not too sandy or crumbly. The chicken and dumplings was just a little too mushy, but the flavors were very solid. The fried okra, though, was some of the best I’ve ever had. Fresh, crispy, and light (as fried food goes!). Catfish was also delicious — even I liked it, and I usually won’t touch fish!
One of the highlights of our visit was the service. There was one particular man with a heavy beard who had one of the most genuine, kind smiles. He was absolutely lovely and it was a pleasure to get to speak with someone so friendly and positive. Check this place out when you’re itching for a drive on a sunny day.
