I really enjoyed the service and the food. The fried catfish, mac and cheese were really good. My homegirl got the black eye peas and she said that were really good as well. Drinks are high however that's expected for the area it is in. Dennis my server was really knowledgeable about the menu and what to try.

I love the relaxed feel of this place. I definitely would return to try more dishes. The American cheeseburger was amazing. I loved they had a singer in the background playing some songs.
