Huey Rey Fischer García: Pecan pie is alright. Key Lime is pretty awesome. 2 for 1 baked goods in the evening is always a great treat while studying.
Anita Crase: The carrot cake is fantastic, so are the plain butter croissants in the case. Everything tastes as good if not better than it looks. Oh, and the chocolate pie is to die for.

Ariel Steinlauf: Everything's so good it's hard to recommend any one dish... Go for the two-meet for variety or try the Tipsy Texan. Also, don't forget to leave some room for the amazing banana pie!
Sasha: Get the brisket wet and save room for the bourbon banana pie.
Christoph P: Turkey, brisket, sausage and definitely the pies!
Garrett Mack: Get in early for hot fresh chicken. And the pies are made in house they have sweet potato, chess pie, pecan pie. With ice cream
Alyssa Hirsch: Of course their chicken is great, but their chess pies are amazing! Their chocolate chess pie is my favorite.
Fernando Covas: This is what fried chicken is supposed to be: freshly fried, tender and juicy on the inside, and perfectly crisp on the outside! If you can't make it to the original one in Memphis, come here.
