We were craving a home-cooked comfort meal and they did not disappoint. The fried chicken? Golden, crispy perfection. The mac-n-cheese? Cheesy, creamy heaven. Add rice & gravy, collards, and green beans, and we were in full-on Southern food bliss. Because one round wasn't enough, we grabbed a to-go plate of meatloaf, rice & gravy, green beans, and yams for today's lunch goals. They're only open Thursday through Saturday, so plan ahead. The service was top notch!

They said it would be a 25 minute wait- but 10 minutes later we were seated facing the springs. We watched all the kayakers, boaters and tubes go by.

They got the salad wrong at first- so we had to wait for a new salad. All in all- it was an enjoyable dining experience- and a treasure that we found by accident. We would come back!

At the cash register was a big sign that states: "Cash only". There is an ATM machine right by the cashier. Hence, the 4 stars. We ordered our food : beef empanadas, masitas, fish sandwich, Cuban sandwich, steak sandwich and ropa viejo. For drinks, we had iced teas and sodas. They came in huge, heavy glasses - like a tankard! I would say that the portions were large in general. Everyone loved their food. I enjoyed the ropa Viejo -it was very flavorful. The beef was tender and tasted very good. Our servers were friendly and efficient. They refilled our glasses constantly Will definitely come back here if we are back in the area. Just have to remember to bring cash!!
