The okra could use a little more of the delicious lemon pepper seasoning but the catfish nuggets really made up for it the whiting was great as well and the coleslaw was fresh

I just discovered this place. I WAS one of the unhoused living nearby. I appreciate their handwritten signs saying people are important and lived!!! Certain workers are very compassionate!!! It was so great you be able to be inside and eat a good, hot meal!! Keep up the good work!!

I got the chicken before absolutely delicious. I got a cheeseburger this time. One of the best I've ever eaten for 6 dollars this is not fast food this is real food the way all food should be made and served. Delicious if you don't try it you will missing out on a life and you will be coming back if you do eat here exp

I love that my internship isn’t far from here, I could legitimately eat it everyday. It’s always fresh and sooooooo good!!! I just got it two different days last week.

Clean, safe, very nice staff and holy shit the food.. its really really good... got jumbo shrimp the size of my hand battered to perfection and perfectly fried... highly recommend.. I will be back lol NOM NOM NOM
