I had collard greens that tasted as if they had been cooked with smoked ham, potato salad that was too mushy, I sampled my friend's lima beans and okra which was cooked with tomato and corn. The collard greens and okra were the winners. I thought the lima beans tasted like they came from a can.

This is a place I would return to. Has anyone tried the fried catfish?-COLLAPSE / REPLY (by paperpest, created August 22, 2010)

The chicken is not bad but not by any means, great. In fact if was dry and greasy the day I went there. This place is just a diner, not fine cuisine, and the prices are quite high for what you get, both for food and drinks. $3.75 for ice tea and $2.50 for coffee. I noticed a few other people that seemed a little puzzled about what this place was all about. (by teegee1, created October 14, 2009)
