I had the meatloaf and it was incredible. I mean that's one of my favorite dishes and there's had a lot of flavor to it. I had the red beans and rice with it also definitely awesome. The baked potato and it wasn't too bad but about average. But the red beans and rice and the meatloaf amazing. Next time I'm going to get the meatloaf and two orders of the red beans and rice that's going to be an amazing dinner. Sorry I didn't take a picture but I was so hungry the food came and I just inhaled it.

My husband brought me here for my birthday and it was good. The employees are very friendly and polite. Our waitress was friendly she made sure we had everything we needed and for that reason we left her a big tip. The food was amazing. We I'll definitely be coming back.

The food was good and so was the service! Our server Kevin was exceptional, very understanding and helpful as my special needs son was trying to order on his own. Kevin tended to our table perfectly constantly refilling drinks and asking how he could make our dining experience better. Will absolutely be coming back!
