    When I don't feel like cooking, Southern Classic is our go-to for take out. Delicious!! The red beans & rice are great too.

    Southern Classic never disappoints. By far the best fried chicken ever. I just wish they would bring the franchise to Wyoming.

    Seasoning is good, fried fresh chicken, love it. My favorite side is the dirty rice and beans and rice. Cold slaw is pretty also.

    First time trying southern classic. The chicken was so fresh and delicious! The roll was a little stale, and mashed potatoes were decent.

    We were in town for an appointment and didn't have time for breakfast before leaving the house so…read morewe opted to find a place nearby. Normally we don't visit establishments with under 4 stars but the pictures seemed to speak for themselves! I could not be happier that we gave this little local place a chance. We arrived right at 10:00 am, after the breakfast crowd but it was still pretty busy. Immediately upon walking in the door, we were greeted with a smile and directed to a little corner table. Our server came right over and got our drink order. When she returned with the drinks we placed our order and I went to wash my hands. When I came back, the order was already on the table!! I had the two egg breakfast with extra crispy bacon and they were both cooked to perfection! I also opted to upgrade the two pancakes to strawberry pancakes. I should have gotten a picture! Covered in strawberries and cream, the obviously from scratch pancakes were to die for!! But let me back up and talk about the eggs. Most restaurants these days use med eggs...on a good day. These eggs were SO big! Hubby ordered his over easy. They had to be jumbo eggs! They were so incredibly yummy! Oh but let's not forget the tea! We often drink unsweet tea when we are out and it's rather astonishing how few places actually have really great tea. This place however, just amazing!! We opted to have a cup to go also! But just as important as the food, or maybe more so, is the service. Hands down the best service we have experienced in a very long time!! If you're on the fence about this place, I urge you to give it a try. I promise you'll be happy that you did!! Oh and don't forget to pick up a cross on your way out!

    The food was fantastic and service was great. Highly recommend for any meal or breakfast all day…read morelong.

    Just exactly what can one say about a perfect meal?…read more First off, I'm ashamed I can't remember the name of this drink. It's a variation of an Old Fashioned. Bunny's "God of Fire." Sorry, had stop right there and look it up. It's double smoked Ironroot Prometheus bourbon, angostura & walnut bitters, and a toasted marshmallow. I don't know who thought this up, but I want to kiss them. It's a little smoky and a little sweet, but subtle. And the longer it sits, it gets almost a little creamy. Especially nibbling on the toasted marshmallow before and after. I tried both. Sublime, a little surreal. I feel like I need a long night drinking just these in slow deliberation. That might be a good hot summer night activity. The deviled eggs? Honestly, and maybe I should be ashamed of this, I can't remember if I've ever had deviled eggs with ham in the mix. Or for that matter, with Texas caviar. Like, what even have I been doing with my life? The Wagyu Tartare came with house okra relish on the corner of the plate, drops of fried egg mayo, these little tiny blue flowers called Borage blossoms, that I, a grown ass man, somehow much closer to 50 than I ever planned on, just got fucking giddy about. But, I tell you what, don't you dare scoop some of that Rosewood Ranch beef tartare onto one of those in house made sumac dusted kettle chips with a dab of that okra relish, take a bite, nibble that toasted marshmallow, and then sipped the Bunny's God Of Fire, and then tell me you didn't step thru a motherfuckin' looking glass of some kind. Softly surreal. Comforting. Sublime. Also, just FYI, you don't really appreciate the okra relish until you try it by itself. There is a crispness to it that is almost etheral. And then you feel like you understand the sensory play of texture and taste a little better. My entree was the 14oz Texas Akausi strip, with the hand cut fries, and horseradish mayo. Seasoned with high quality fine French sea salt and black pepper, pan seared in Wagyu tallow and basted with thyme, smashed garlic clove, and butter, before finishing in the oven and sitting in a container of melted Waygu tallow before resting on the cutting board and being sliced. Read that again, slowly. It sounds like a night in bed with Jane Mansfield. I don't know how else to describe. Why yes, the fries are amazing. Of course they are. Everything is amazing here. I feel silly, like I'm just on here hyping one of my favorite people and food spots, but Oh My God, have you even been here? Everything is great. But if I'm being honest. For true true. That softly medium rare Akausi with a dab of that horseradish mayo, another sip of Bunny's Fire Of God. It's a sensuous experience. For dessert, I got the chocolate mousse, and the homie got the First Amendment Lemon Pound Cake, which Lance McWhorter came up with in honor of Afroman winning his case against "The Man." As if I needed anymore reason to love him. The chocolate mousse, I'm afraid I could eat this by the tub. Like, I brought home half my steak and fries I was so full. Wouldn't have even thought about dessert had I been anywhere else. I damn near licked the bowl clean at the table like a dog. Just embarrassing. That glob of white stuff, are super cheesy grits. I'll post some pics of food we got to see as it was prepared later, but, I will say, yes, it was delicious. Especially on the fries. Honestly, I think I can make a meal of the eggs and tartare alone. And Bunny's Fire Of God. Absolutely stellar meal. But more than that. It's an experience. One I highly recommend. I'd give it a scale rating, but there's no scale for this. Not in these parts. This place is in a class all it's own. It's another beautiful day, East Texas. I hope you're enjoying it. #ztfu #sabaileyproject #iloveyouetx #writerfoodiegunguy #foodiesofetx #hippiebarbarian #foodiesofdallas #foodiesofig #easttexas #tylertx

    The food may be the selling point, but the service and attitude left a lot to be desired. I never…read moreread restaurant reviews before I've had the opportunity to dine there. I like to have an open mind and for my own opinion on what I've experienced. Unfortunately, my experience here was overshadowed (seems like many other customers have had the same problems) by poor service, loud music, and an owner (just reading his replies on yelp tells a lot about his character) who cames across as rude, dismissive, and very assumptive. Instead of making customers feel welcome, the interaction felt more like we were an inconvenience. Good customer service should be part of the experience, regardless of how well-known the restaurant or owner thinks they are. And apparently, the owner's biggest flex is having appeared on Food Network's Chopped. That accomplishment gets mentioned enough that you would think it was the restaurant's entire identity. From what I understand, he made it to the finale but finished second. Whatever the exact spin, being on Chopped shouldn't be an excuse for treating customers poorly. A restaurant should create an atmosphere where people can actually enjoy their meal and talk without having to compete with the speakers. At the end of the day, bragging rights and television appearances don't replace good service, respect, and hospitality. I came in expecting a good dining experience and left feeling like the attitude was more memorable than the food.
