- Nancy TranJuly 6, 2015Mmmm mmm mmm! Hook me up with that fried chicken, mac n' cheese, and some greens!!
1 order of fried chicken plus the sides that cone with it is more than enough for 2 people to share.
Chloe BenjaminApril 7, 2011The blackened snapper was tender and spices just right. I'd definitely order that again.
Dyami SernaFebruary 27, 2010While the fried chicken and other meaty staples rock, I recommend the veggie plate. For seven bux it will full ya up right
Mike WintersApril 24, 2010The sweet tea is the best I've ever had outside the South. Perfect sugar level.
