I was traveling through and saw this little place and decided to check it out, I tell ya I wasn't disappointed in the food and the service. Very nice lady running the place. They didn't have a card machine and all I had was $6 and this lady fed me anyway. I will stop here every time I'm through from now on with cash of course. I hope that lady sees this and knows how much I appreciate that.

I have been blessed traveling to many places, both domestically and internationally. When you find a spot like this, it is special. Everyone who entered was treated with warmth and a welcoming attitude. I hate eating in the heat, but I will stop every time and eat here. Small price to pay for a smile.

Awesome soul food!!! Angie is the best, so sweet. We were a bit late getting there and she still served us and waited for us to finish our meal. We were riding the Natchez trail and after we stopped at the information center we wanted something to eat so we googled and found this place. We rode about 15 miles to get there but we did not regret it one bit. If you have a chance... go!! It's a bit out of the way in the Mississippi countryside, but awesome!!

Had the fish plate and had to give this place a review. The food was unbelievable and the hospitality equally as well. Angie was beyond nice does everything there is to do and deserves a good review so here it is. The people of this town don’t know what they have, this place should be packed round the clock.
