With a few exceptions their food is always very good and tastes like it was made in the kitchen of a good Southern cook. I especially like their meatloaf and their catfish dinners. And while they have many delicious desserts, I can't resist their blackberry cobbler with ice cream on top. I love their fried okra, corn nuggets, mashed potatoes best but others are also good.
