Quinten F.Quinten Farmer: Get the pimento cheese sandwich, grilled for a real southern treat.

Terence C.Terence Chan: Really really good Mac n cheese and biscuits (order an extra one and thank me later). The catfish was nicely done too. The fried chicken was juicy but lacked flavor. 4/5

Deon D.Deon D: As usual, one of the best, if not the best, fried chicken sandwiches anywhere. Add pimento cheese and all is right with the world. The banana pudding and pecan bread pudding was great too.
