There lunch menu has an excellent assortment of meats and vegetables. I saw fried chicken, chopped pork, turkey wing meat, neck ones, smothered pork chops, hamhocks, and candied yams, rice, snap beans, black eyed peas, butter beans, and they still had a portion of the breakfast menu up. The dinner plates start at $15.00. They also sell sodas, chips, candy and other convenience store fare. The owner is a Q. And he's super friendly. By 9 am you can eat both breakfast AND lunch. It's all cooked by then. I've eaten their lunch before and it was wonderful. You can get hooked. It's just that good.

He chatted with us as we waited at our table for our orders. He served our orders and bused our plates too. He does everything and is very personable providing welcoming hospitality. And he's only worked there for a mere 5 weeks. I asked him who the owner is and he directed me to Jerry and Patrice Thompson, two of the nicest folks you'll ever meet. Jerry has a big welcoming personality and a great sense of humor. Fried catfish fillets were excellent! Crust was just right and the fillets were moist. I ate everything in my plate. Peach cobbler was warmed up, we opted to not have it w ice cream, and it is the best in Memphis! Such a long and storied history for this restaurant. We are so glad we came here and will return next time we are in Memphis. My only regret is we were too full to eat fried chicken too.

We first started out with the fried green tomatoes which were so good! I had the turkey and dressing, yams, and turnip green. All delicious and yummy. My daughter got the fried catfish, cabbage, and pickled green tomatoes. I'm not the biggest catfish person, but theirs is really good! Seasoned great. Even though we had so much food, we shared a peach cobbler which we both enjoyed. Staff was very friendly and very attentive. Will definitely be returning again.

I ordered the lasagna with greens, mac and cheese, and cornbread, plus a peach cobbler for dessert. Overall, I really enjoyed the meal. The lasagna, greens, cornbread, and peach cobbler were all satisfying and flavorful. The only item that didn't work for me was the mac and cheese, which had a taste that didn't agree with me personally. I also ordered the "Holy Water" (blueberry lemonade). It was very good and refreshing, though super, super sweet!!! One thing that really stood out was the service. Everyone was super nice, welcoming, and courteous throughout the visit. The dining area of the restaurant is small and at the time of my visit, everyone was ordering to go. The restaurant decor features lots of pictures and spiritual references. I'm not sure if I've seen chitterlings and hog maws on a restaurant menu before. They offer them and I may come back and try them one day.

The fried chicken is crispy, well-seasoned, and cooked just right every time. Their sweet tea is so good--definitely a must-have with your meal. My only critiques would be that I wish the yams had a deeper glaze and the mac & cheese was a bit more thoroughly baked, but the flavors are still solid overall. I always get my food to go, the prices are very reasonable, and the portions are satisfying. If you're ordering a fried entrée, make sure to order ahead and allow about 15 minutes for them to finish frying--it's worth the wait.

Memphis is a slight detour on our way back to Texas, but there was no way we were settling for fast food along the highway. We wanted good seafood--fresh, satisfying, and worth the stop. So glad we chose this spot. From the outside, it's simple and unassuming. Inside, it feels like a slightly bougie fish cafe--clean, cozy, and well-kept, with subtle holiday decor and that warm Southern hospitality greeting you at the door. Our server, Denise, was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. The one-page menu keeps it simple, and she walked us through it along with the daily special. We ordered the gumbo, salmon burger, and a grilled salmon plate--everything tasted fresh and cooked to order. A perfect seafood meal in Tennessee. We left full, happy, and already planning what to try next time. Definitely a spot worth revisiting.

Today I stopped in for lunch because I was on the go and had an appointment on the same strip. I will say that the service was pretty quick. They had lunch specials available until 2pm, so I got the baked spaghetti plate. It causes with two sides. The spaghetti was not good at all. The cheese is what saved it. The cabbage literally taste like water. It had no seasoning at all. I couldn't even finish it. The beans were ok, but I was highly disappointed of all in the cornbread. That's always the main attraction for the brand itself, however, the piece I had today was hard as a brick! I had to put it in the cornbread to soften it up. I hope whatever is going on is rectified soon. They've been around for a long time and I would love for it to stay that way for them.
