Very friendly waitress. I like how there are so many dishes to try out and you can get just a little or a large amount. Seems that mostly locals only know about it and it is a legacy restaurant handed down from the original Chason. They have some original signage / memorabilia hanging up inside from the original restaurant. First time my son ate some of those kinds of foods like chitlins- he didn't know what they were but still ate them. Nice experience.

My group of 3 had Gizzards, Catfish, Whiting, Mac and Cheese, Collards along with tea and lemonade. Tons of food and the price didn't break the bank the staff was full of smiles. We left with a few leftovers and went back to our hotel. After diving back into the plates it turned into a return trip with 5 other people to get more food. It's must stop!

I came here on a Tuesday afternoon to try their chitterlings ("chitlins") for takeout lunch with a…read moregroup of 3 people. Chitterlings are hog intestines basically. They're something that's typically Southern food especially in the country. The place itself was very unassuming. I thought it was just a convenience store. The chitterlings were seasoned with cracked red pepper and came with a side of boiled cabbage. The chitterlings were chewy and had a spicy kick. It was not very tender so I could not eat a lot of them. You get a good portion if you order small. The staff were very nice and helpful. They have a fish fry on the weekends with crab boils so definitely have to try that next time.

They had rice, Brunswick stew, peas, collard greens, bread stuffing, sweet potatoes, baked chicken, fried chicken, breaded pork chops, macaroni and cheese, and fried pork rinds. Corn bread, and slices of cake ( red velvet, carrot, lemon, chocolate , are in a separate area.) I had a piece of the baked and the fried chicken. Both were salty, dried out tough, even though the place only opened 40 minutes before I got there. I liked the cornbread and the sweet potato. I chose this place based on its high yelp rating , leaving the interstate . It's the first time yelp failed me.

Only negative is the price. $23 for 6 bones of ribs and 4oz of potato salad. It's good but no way quantifies the price. See picture below. I got this Togo and it's as I received from cashier.

After having the crab cake sandwich we would recommend doing the platter because the bread overpowers the crab cake. Everything was incredible, the flavors, consistency, and quality. It is for sure comfort food but nothing sits heavy and feels super fresh. Not a fan of coleslaw but it was super yummy and great corn fritters for our first time having them. Service was great. Ambiance was super informal and adds to the vibe of what you're eating. Also unrelated but the cashier/server has a super calming energy/presence/voice which totally added to the vibe

Came with slaw, 1x Side (Collard Greens: sweet vinegar with some heat, and a bit of pork, really good!), and some AMAZING Hushpuppies (fresh, sweet corn bread). Shrimp & Grits: Fantastic! Buttery and cheesy grits with sausage and nice shrimp (not over-cooked or chewy). Green beans were slightly too soft (30-mins until closing), but good comfort food. Coleslaw was "meh," but a good, crunchy foil to the fish and rice. Counter Service (order at register, then they bring to table/to-go) was quite fast, given that they had to cook the fish and prep foods for take-out. Everything looked clean, staff was nice, and owner was talking to everyone. Didn't get to try the variety of desserts, but they looked and smelled great. Traveling, but worth the stop!

I ordered ahead of time over the phone and it still took an hour for my food to be ready. Literally everyone who came in had a phone order and it wasn't ready. The inside is small, no indoor seating. The wings were good! And I would get those again by themselves. The Mac n cheese tastes like it has American cheese it. The greens had a nice Smokey flavor, but overall weren't great. Of what they offered, I would rather drive a little further to Uptown's.

To give you an idea, my husband and I ate there this evening and here's what we had (all excellent). Appetizers: tuna tartare with capers, wasabi, sesame seeds, lettuce, and crisps. It was well balanced and delicious. The other appetizer was Cambodian Spring Rolls, which were perfectly browned, and eaten by placing them in a romaine lettuce leaf with crumbled peanuts and dipping it in an amazing but light sauce. The textures and flavors played off of each other wonderfully, elevating it far above any regular spring roll you may be thinking of. For entrees, my husband had the special, Paella (saffron rice, mussels, shrimp, clams, and a whole crab, red bell pepper). Every item was perfectly cooked, neither undercooked nor overcooked and it tasted fantastic. My entree was perfectly cooked pan-seared salmon filet, with perfectly grilled large asparagus and the most amazing take on grits I have ever had (not your mama's breakfast grits). They were delicately flavored with butter, a hint of cheese and I don't know what else but it understated while still having flavors that seemed too complex for grits to have, without being overdone. There are menu items for both the more and less adventurous diner, and I cannot recommend this place highly enough. A gem in the middle of nowhere.
