Its not a dine-in spot. Perfect to pick-up and go. The fried turkey wings(served only on Fridays) have me in chokehold. I love their collard/cabbage mix and their mac and cheese. Did i mention I go there weekly?

I knew it was going to be good because I had to call 3 times before somebody answered the phone. Fried whiting, Mac, collard/cabbage mix & yams were 10/10.

I had an amazing experience here! The food was absolutely delicious—every bite was full of flavor and clearly made with care. From appetizers to dessert, everything was cooked to perfection. On top of that, the customer service was outstanding. The staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely made me feel welcome. It's rare to find a place that nails both the food and the service so well. Highly recommend!

Extremely charming food spot that you’ll have to look for or you’ll drive right by it! The menu is small and practical so you get what you go there to get… and whatever you got, it’s good! Mixed reviews about the spaghetti but SUPER SOLID on everything else. I was pleasantly surprised by the fantastic barbecue Turkey wings! That’s my go to now + a double helping of Greens/cabbage <<== SLAPS! Try it out. I am so happy to have “a spot” close to home I can trust to be consistently great. Plate w/ $2 tip… $18
