The food was very delicious and my apple martini was a hit. I had the smothered chicken and gravy over rice, macaroni and cheese greens and a side of dressing with cranberries sauce. For dessert I had a side of peach cobbler which my coworker love.

On 6/1/2024 Catalina Cadiz had this to say:
From the cobbler to the cornbread, everything was outstanding! I had smothered chicken, black eyed peas, cobbler, banana pudding and mashed potatoes. The portions were generous and the staff was friendly. I picked up my order but plan on dining in next time since I saw they had a bar.
