The food was very good. Great Southern home cooking. The waitress staff was quick, efficient and professional. I Had not been in a while, but I definitely will be making more frequent trips.

We went yesterday for Fathers Day Dinner. They had good macaroni and cheese, greens were ok, dressing and cranberry sauce was good. The pot roast was good. They have these yeast rolls baked in tins. They are the best!!! They had breakfast station. I give the food a 7/10. They kept running out. Had to wait. After two plates and hour and half later we left. $39.99/person for Father’s Day. We had a party of 7. Two kids and 5 adults. Paid $340 it was only worth it because my dad and husband enjoyed themselves. I would come back when the prices are cheaper. They HAVE GREAT SERVICE. Our server was Jermaine. He was the best server ever. Kind and prompt. The servers serving food were kind and amazing as well. I want to come back again for the yeast rolls .

This is not a Black owned business! They have black cooks and decorated with black influencers! They put it in the hood to make it more believable and it’s not right. I won’t be returning!

carnesha hannah | Sep 16, 2020

Still! They are employing black people and serving black people. It's clean and sanitized so they still get my business. I've always been treated nicely there. The staff is courteous and polite and the food is cooked with love and prayer. You can tell. It's not enough for some people but it works for me and my black dollar. ❤

No, this is not a black owned restaurant, blacks are the cooks but the food is mediocre. I recommend seeking a black owned establishment if you want the real soul food experience.

Michael Montgomery | Sep 17, 2019
Grace Lopez | Sep 17, 2019

Michael Montgomery black owned does not necessarily make the food good either.

Cameron Jones | Sep 16, 2020

There is on the street parking that should accommodate a semi- truck without a trailer. Of course the day of the week, and time should also be taken into consideration, however I don't think that should be a problem.

A friend and I went and we both got the buffett, sodas, and dessert, the drinks and dessert were separate charges and it came out to about 42 dollars, so 21 dollars a piece so I'm figuring about 14 or 15 dollars or so without drinks and dessert added

Donald Conwell | Sep 17, 2017
David Current | Sep 17, 2017

I remember it being like $15 per person for breakfast buffet. $17 for lunch buffet. And about $20 for dinner buffet. Drinks and dessert cost extra. You can order off the menu also. Appetizers are from $7 to $12. And dinners are like $12 to $25 dollars. Free parking around back of the restaurant in the hotel's parking lot.
