I forgot to get my lemonade that I ordered but other than that... if I could give them 10 stars I would. Fries were hot and well seasoned. The burger was a chef’s kiss. Lastly shoutout to Ms B and Kimberly. I I needs that lemonade next time I come back which will be very soon. If you’re in Columbia, SC this is one a many hidden gems to go to!!!

1st time here. Hostess and server was super polite and welcoming. Our food was amazing. Thanks to everyone that made reviews and posted. We were looking for a spot for some home style soul food and good cooking. Also has a bar on the other side. Will definitely be back to catch a game or two. Oh the portions sizes were on point too.

Me and my fiance tried this restaurant while visiting Columbia for a convention. We were hesitant to come because of the review being at the time was a 3.9. We decided to try it anyways, and I’m so glad we did.I ordered the hamburger steak, with Mac and cheese and green beans. He chose the lamb chops with lima beans and okra and Mac and cheese. The food was so good!!! We enjoyed it very much and shared some laughs and smiles with the staff. We are definitely putting this restaurant on our food list for anytime we are back in the area. Also the lemonade was my favorite. It wasn’t overly sweet to the point where I feel like my arteries are clogged like at other restaurants. It was just right.

Had a soul food craving today and they REALLY hit the spot! The food was amazing and seasoned perfectly. My wife and I both looked at each other and smiled but no one was talking because we were enjoying everything. If you are looking for a hidden gem, this is it. Great food, good service, generous portions (feels like I got my money's worth), and nice staff. We will definitely be back for Sunday dinners very often.

Called in my order and went to pick up. No wait. I was greeted upon entering. Nice music. Clean atmosphere. Good parking access. We didn’t wait to eat, sat right there in the parking lot, lol. Found this gem on TikTok Along with several others. SO glad me and my family picked this one. Oxtails w/ rice collards mac cornbread. Turkey wings with rice collards mac. Additional side of yams. Everything was good. Good portions for the price. A drink wasn’t included. I think it should be though. Other than that... everything was good. This is REAL southern food. Reminds me of grandma cooking. Ms B and her crew knows something!!! Give it a try. Won’t be disappointed.
