Reviews

I visited this place today for the first time.
The food was excellent, but the service was not.
I think it was just too busy for good service, and there just wasn’t a general politeness that we’re accustomed to.
I do still recommend this place though due to the excellent food at a great price.
The red beans, and ham were excellent.

As others have posted, food is cafeteria style.
Grab a menu on your way in the door or look online first as there is quite an assortment.
We split the platter, plenty for two.
Our server Al was excellent Good came out quickly.
Never had collard greens before, but they were tasty along with the jambalaya, beans and rice (made me think of Dave Ramsey) and everything else on the plate. Decided to get a brownie to go.
Super moist, definitely satisfying even the most chocoholic! It was less than a block from our hotel. If you want good, fast and reasonable food, this is the place.
Less than $40 for everything.
Check the pictures!

In case you didn’t know (like us) the ordering system is you queue then get to the till and order first, then sit down and provide the receipt to the server and they will bring over the food and drinks to the table.
When we went there the queue was relatively short so we go to order very quickly.
The restaurant is also very big with plenty of seatings.
We had meat biscuits and breakfast special with eggs ham and grits.
The food was cooked well and great place for a no fuss and easy breakfast.
