The story behind the restaurant is incredible, and the food they serve up is even more incredible. Based on other reviews I read, I knew I had to try the fried chicken. They make it fresh to order and it's well worth the wait. I enjoyed reading various publications hanging on the wall while I waited. The fried squash! OH MY GOODNESS!!! I would seriously drive back just for that! When you are in Jackson, this is a MUST! I'll for sure be back when life takes me out that way. I'm truly grateful for the entire experience of meeting them and enjoying their delicious cuisine.

And this is 1 spot that hits just about every box for me. They have seats for dining in & tvs. I went on a Sunday right before they were closing at 4. It's already hard enough to find a good soul food spot open on a Sunday. The staff took my order over the phone and I got there 15 minutes later and it was ready. I tried their fried chicken with some creamy mac & cheese & dressing. Now prior to this Ive had similar meals at other locations and was not impressed. This spot definitely made my visit! The food was so hot, good, and seasoned well; even my mom was impressed. So that's a great sign. I would definitely be back.

The staff working the line was so sweet and patient as I tried to make a decision. There were so many good looking sides that I went with a veggie plate and added one smoked wing. That Mac n cheese was heavenly. Oh man it was good. The Lima beans were flavroful, as were the collard greens. I didn't care for the boiled okra, as the dish lacked seasoning and the cornbread wasn't my favorite. I will still go back to get a plate as I love plate lunches where I can get home-style vegetables! Address is 1254 Macon St, right off of Lynch Street.
