It's "lean back in your chair, close your eyes, and rethink your life choices" good. The atmosphere reminded me of grandma's house, surrounded by family! Friendly folks, generous portions, and flavors that stick with you long after the last bite...no wonder TikTok blew this place up. Believe the hype. This spot is a must-stop. If you're anywhere within driving distance, make the trip. And if you're not, well...it's still worth it. This spot lives up to the hype.

My husband and I stopped in and was blowned away. The atmosphere is just so soothing. If I had…read moreclosed my eyes, I could have been on Bourbon Street, LA. Great music, friendly locals enjoying a table game, enjoying just hanging out. I definitely enjoyed the food, not only the smoked, but all the other surprises for the palet to taste and be totally blowned away. If you really enjoy good "country, hertitage" food, do stop in. Just saying...

Service: upon arrival a VERY warm and gracious greeting (despite the map saying "closing soon")…read more Food: VERY good. I ordered Fish & Shrimp dinner with potato salad and slaw. Shrimp were delisioso! Catfish strips were acceptable (I liked them more than I expected to). Potato salad and slaw are homemade ... and quite yummy. Hush puppies were mighty fine! Ambiance: most tables were taken and apparently filled with locals with lots of catching up to do... and do... and do. Sure got quiet after everyone left (and I was not pressured to leave). Extra: there's a geocache in their parking lot! Who could ask for anything more Service bonus: waitress was especially kind and sweet and helpful and courteous.

Helen and I both went to The University of Alabama (Roll Tide!) as did her sister, brother and…read morefather. As you might imagine we go to some UA football games. Coming and going to and from the games can become pretty boring. We like to mix it up a bit and take highways instead of the interstate. We choose different ones to keep it interesting. One of our trips took us through Greensboro Alabama and we were hungry. I looked online at the restaurant options and found M&M Mustang Oil Restaurant was a meat and three type of restaurant with southern food. That's right up our Alabama hearts. We headed that way. Did ya know that Greensboro Alabama is the Alabama Catfish Capital? No?....... Yep! So guess what I just had to have! Good ole USofA raised Mud Cat! It was delicious! That was almost a year ago and we have been going back ever since. This was our third time to go. I have had the catfish plate and the Po-Boy. Helen gets either 3-4 of the sides or the catfish plate which comes with two sides plus hush puppies or cornbread. We also have had the Cheese Logs and the Fried Mushrooms. Everything is delicious! The Cheese Logs are by far the best cheese sticks we have ever had. Talk about molten cheese! Mary (server and cook) uses pepper jack to make the logs. They are slap your grandma good! Onion rings-terrific. The coleslaw is too. If I had to find something it would be that I like my purple hull peas cooked down, way down, like all day cooked down. These are good but just not how I eat them. One last thing. Every one of the tables has home preserved peppers on them. The juice goes great on the cornbread and the peas. Even the coleslaw is better with it. I dare ya to pull a pepper or two out and pop em in your mouth! Especially the tiny sport peppers. They will burn you twice, coming AND going, if ya know what I mean. Go on, don't fret about what it looks like inside or out. You are going to get some delicious food and you will thank me later. Do not forget the catfish. Unless it is an off day it will be the best you have plopped into your mouth!

The vegetables are done just right; in the same way I remember from growing up here in the area. This time I had the fried chicken plate with green beans and purple hull peas. It reminded me of the Sunday lunches at my grandparents house when the whole family would come together after church. The peach cobbler was the final piece of the puzzle and it was amazing as well. If you want to have a good lunch at a reasonable price make sure you stop by and sit down for lunch. The service is just as good as the food and the people are what make it worth the time you will take out of your day.

They also offer ice cream by the scoop. My wife and I had an order of wings and cheese fries to start our meal. The wings were pretty large and contained mild heat. I was hoping for a bit more heat. The cheese fries were OK. Not the greatest I had ever had. It looked as though they just microwaved the cheese on the fries. The shrimp po'boy was delicious and the dish I enjoyed the most.
