They set it up for us and we sat down to eat. Amazing service! The food itself was great. Hispanic classics, my dad said it was really good 5 times! Really though, it was good food at a reasonable price. The food came out within 10 minutes I want to say, probably less. Decent amount of parking in the surrounding lot. Definitely coming back!

You walk into the most open, airy, throw back to cafe/diner restaurant that feels like someone's cozy kitchen. We arrived just after they had opened and were seated immediately. Looking over the menu there were soo many good dishes to consider. While I was really drawn to the peach cobbler pancakes I came in wanting something savory. I ordered the Star Special and my friend ordered the sausage and 2 eggs. Wow! Food here is made to order so you'll wait just a bit for your plate to come out and that's not a bad thing. For my dish I selected the grits, my friend opted for the potatoes, and we both got the buttermilk biscuit. We loved the flavors. My eggs were so soft and fluffy with that slight buttery taste that goes so good with the warmness. The wings were HUGE and seasoned sooo well; peppery, salty, but not overwhelming. There was nothing dry about this biscuit. A soft inside with a crispy, flaky outside. I know there are various opinions about grits and I loved these because there was a sufficient firmness and equal softness to the texture. I also appreciated that there was a nice pat of butter that topped the grits! After eating half of the cup I added a bit of sugar to the last half so I go to enjoy them both sweet and savory. There was some great R&B music playing in the background which made the restaurant feel so gentle and relaxing. Service was great. In conversation we discovered that the owner was our server. She was very generous in her spirit. Gave us some suggestions based on her taste but also told us what the crowd favorites are. All this to say, if you're looking to support local go to Matthews. We'll be back for lunch and dinner soon enough!

Fried chicken reminded me of good home made fried chicken, and the collared greens seasonedfor flavor. I had a craving for meatloaf and gravy, it was substantial and rich.

I've got a cold and was really craving a traditional Mexican chicken soup with all the fixings…read more I've never been here, but I saw on their site. They had Caldo de Pollo and it looked pretty good. I'm so freaking happy. I discovered this place. The soup was phenomenal. I really enjoyed the chips and salsa that were on the side, and the chicken broth was divine. You could truly taste the heart and the soup. It had giant chunks of zucchini, carrots, celery, and potatoes. There was a chicken thigh and a chicken leg with skin on and bone in at the bottom of my soup. The meat slide off the bone and was phenomenal. It came with tortillas on the side, a little container of rice to add into the soup, and a small container with cilantro, limes, and fresh diced onions. I'll definitely be going back soon. They had a full bar and the bartender was mixing up some delicious looking margaritas. I'll have to see if there any good next time!! It's raining today and I picked up my food around 3pm so it was pretty quiet in there. They have a small stage so I assume the place can get pretty exciting.

Oh I see...two reviews for the price of one (free). Alright, well I walked through the casino which…read moreI've already told you about; up the stairs to Larry Flynt's Bar and Grill (which is what I was looking for in the first place). Usually it's "exit through the gift shop" but it would appear that here it's "enter through the money trap." That's alright, that's alright, I still love you Larry Flynt. And I do love a good set of stairs to get me where I'm going, but gosh I shouldn't have said that (there's a golden elevator too, mind you, right between the restrooms). Now around the bar I found a spot right next to the register, but not so close that I was in the way. When finding just the right spot to settle, the démarche always brings to mind a dog turning circles on his/her bed before plopping down with a fat sigh, which in turn makes me smile. It was just me and a guy wearing sunglasses, looking at his phone, and then two servers sauntering back and forth behind the bar. One gave me a menu, and I thanked her. I listened around and looked at the menu and made a thousand computations before the server came back, and still I needed another minute. I'm not usually like that (indecisive), but I wasn't about to cry about it either. She came back and I blurted out "shrimp friend rice," but corrected myself with salted shrimp and steamed rice. By then I needed another beer as well, but the taps up here were foamy too (see previous review of Hustler Casino)! These girls knew how to circumnavigate such minor inconveniences, however, and before long, I had food and beer, what more could I ask for? A little female company perhaps, but nah, nah, y'all are busy, and that's alright, the TVs are on, and the man in sunglasses is loosening up to the advances of the servers. The conversations that I overhear are all too often tepid for my taste, and I will wait for scalding hot before I pour the ice cubes in. A couple comes in to sit down at a booth, and he's covering her like a blanket, fine. Kobe Bryant is on the tube, and his smile is larger than life. I never realized how much athletes really have to act until just now. The cameras are always on after all, and something has to happen, the narrative must be visible in their movements and faces, because the interviews won't do. We, the observers, aim to plug the tub with our own hair and imaginations, and here I go suddenly fighting back the tears. A man orders coffee and he seems uneasy too. Was I uneasy? No, not really. A gorgeous gal with huge hoop earrings sits down across the way and things are shaping up. I try not to stare, and it's all good because she won't look this way. I think about Belgium and my brother, I think about basketball and girls and daughters, and wonder what any of it has got to do with beer and beef and fish and grills. Anyways, here's Wonder wall.

Today, I was craving it again and my husband brought some home and again it did not disappoint. Great food and service. Must try.

Really for no reason, no commotion, no unpleasantries, nothing. I know it was closing time but there was no need to target me specifically like a bully. I suggest the owner to review footage if they want to verify. Seems likes she thinks she can treat a certain demographic less humanly.
