Each dinner easily could feed two people! CONS: 1. The corn muffins were a bit dry/overcooked and were more savory than sweet like I'm used to. (Still tasted good though) 2. The mac and cheese was a bit drier than what I was expecting but still had a good flavor! PROS: 1. Rib tips/bbq sauce had a great smoky and sweet flavor! It was also super tender. 2. Smothered cabbage and potatoes were simple and flavorful. The gravy wasn't too salty or super thick. 3. Catfish was bomb! They have a variety of lemon peppers to choose from and I was recommended the chipotle lemon pepper. It was flaky, moist, and had a good crunch! 4. SO MUCH FOOD! 5. Very kind staff :) Overall, great experience and definitely will be coming back!

Glad I made the trip and checked this place out! Absolutely delicious and very generous portions. I had the Bronx plate and it was fantastic! Layered with rice onions peppers steak and gyro and topped with NY sauce. Accompanied with lettuce tomato and sliced pitta bread. This dish was really enjoyable and so unique. To find a gem like this serving food this unique in northwest Indiana is rare. I can't comment if this is the best version of this type of meal having never tried something like it before, but I found it to be absolutely delicious. I will be a repeat customer after this experience. Other things I can mention, the gentleman behind the counter was nice and friendly. There is a few small 2 person tables if you want to dine in, but it's mainly a carry out place in my opinion. The wait time was not very long. Definitely cooked to order and fresh.

I thought it was weird that they have a wooden board covering the side of the sweets fridge? Maybe so we can't see what's is going on in the kitchen..? The food was mid asf. I ordered the flamin hot wings with loaded fries . The wings had a natural buffalo flavor that overruled the flamin hot. They threw hella cheese on it and the chicken was dark asf . The fries were ok, but wasn't enough toppings besides flamin hot cheese clumps. They gave me some stale ahh cheetos on the side . Overall 4/10

One of the owners came out, greeted us with a smile, kindness explanation of the menu and then a beautiful prayer. The team provided water bottles to everyone waiting in line. This was definitely a stand out moment most places don't even care that you're standing in line let alone provide you with water when I made an end. The ambience was welcoming, friendly clean, and the menu was easy to read. I ordered food for the entire family and everyone rent and raved about how good it was.

When we walked in there were a few people waiting so I said this has to be good. They do have a wide range of items. It is a take out place there isn't seating. I wanted the Turkey KTMB which is the signature item but they were out of turkey tips. I ordered the Build Your Own Combo with Fried chicken and chicken tips which came with fries with Wildwood. I also got spaghetti and Mac and cheese. My dad got the salmon burger with sweetwood on the fries. The Wings were very salty to a point that I couldn't finish the wing. The Fries and Chicken tips were very good and I really enjoyed the sauce. The spaghetti was good to me but I can see how some wouldn't enjoy it because it had a sweet sauce. The Mac and Cheese was not good to me. My dad enjoyed his Salmon Burger. He felt that his Fries were a little drowned in sauce. Price point I think it was a little over price as our meal cost about $85. I do still want to try the turkey tips Soon
