Today I stopped in for lunch because I was on the go and had an appointment on the same strip. I will say that the service was pretty quick. They had lunch specials available until 2pm, so I got the baked spaghetti plate. It causes with two sides. The spaghetti was not good at all. The cheese is what saved it. The cabbage literally taste like water. It had no seasoning at all. I couldn't even finish it. The beans were ok, but I was highly disappointed of all in the cornbread. That's always the main attraction for the brand itself, however, the piece I had today was hard as a brick! I had to put it in the cornbread to soften it up. I hope whatever is going on is rectified soon. They've been around for a long time and I would love for it to stay that way for them.

5 stars times a million!!!…read more I was visiting my dad's for his birthday. I visited back in August and I'm still thinking about it. Before my flight back to California I needed one final southern meal (no good southern cookin on the west coast.) I am so happy I chose this place. First the staff, 10/5 stars!!! We didn't realize they were closing soon (about 30 minutes from the time of arrival) and showed up. The staff not only didn't even mention it but generously accommodated us! When we realized, we apologized and they were so kind and understanding. Now the food. WOW! So grateful I listened to my gut because I saved the best for last. We ordered a spread of food. Catfish, yams, fried chicken, collard greens, cobbler, etc. Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Catfish was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Each bite almost made me cry tears of joy. Home cooked taste but from the friend/family member that can tear it up in the kitchen. You can taste the love, dedication and pride. The prices are worth it for the quality and quantity. The atmosphere was welcoming and chill. Definitely a good spot for a family dinner/lunch after church. Again staff were so warm and kind. Overall we had an amazing experience. If I lived closer it would absolutely be on my rotation. If you live nearby make it yours. You will not regret supporting this small business. I will be back as soon as I can!

I ordered the lasagna with greens, mac and cheese, and cornbread, plus a peach cobbler for dessert. Overall, I really enjoyed the meal. The lasagna, greens, cornbread, and peach cobbler were all satisfying and flavorful. The only item that didn't work for me was the mac and cheese, which had a taste that didn't agree with me personally. I also ordered the "Holy Water" (blueberry lemonade). It was very good and refreshing, though super, super sweet!!! One thing that really stood out was the service. Everyone was super nice, welcoming, and courteous throughout the visit. The dining area of the restaurant is small and at the time of my visit, everyone was ordering to go. The restaurant decor features lots of pictures and spiritual references. I'm not sure if I've seen chitterlings and hog maws on a restaurant menu before. They offer them and I may come back and try them one day.

Gracie's Kitchen is one of my go-to spots for comfort food. I always order the fried chicken plate,…read moreusually with cabbage, mac & cheese, or yams, and it never disappoints. The fried chicken is crispy, well-seasoned, and cooked just right every time. Their sweet tea is so good--definitely a must-have with your meal. My only critiques would be that I wish the yams had a deeper glaze and the mac & cheese was a bit more thoroughly baked, but the flavors are still solid overall. I always get my food to go, the prices are very reasonable, and the portions are satisfying. If you're ordering a fried entrée, make sure to order ahead and allow about 15 minutes for them to finish frying--it's worth the wait.

The dessert was probably my favorite part lol, I got ice cream with crumbled cookies and a little chocolate & caramel drizzle on top. I also tried the steak but sadly mine was still raw in the middle when it came out, so that kinda turned me off. The food wasn't horrible but for $24.99 I personally expected a lil more options and better quality. The atmosphere was decent and the staff was nice enough though. I'm not saying I'd never come back cause I probably would give it another try on a different day. Maybe I just caught them at an off time idk

I am in the area for work and decided to try this place for dinner. Very happy I did…read more When I arrived the parking lot was packed. Went inside and the front section of the restaurant was packed. I got seated at a small table in the back. They have white boards with a list of daily specials and a large chalkboard in the back that shows their beer list and desserts. After talking to the waitress, I decided on the Brisket Plate which came with Baked Beans and Cole Slaw. The food was delicious and the beer is cold. I think I was the only non-local in the whole place. I found a great restaurant off the beaten path. Some of the best brisket I have had in awhile.
