"The food is awesome. I had the catfish dinner with bake beans and okra. The service was super nice. It is kind of a small dining area , but they are adding a bigger area, as you can see in the pictures. They also have an RV park."

"Excellent! I had the pork steak and added two ribs. The ribs fell off the bone and had excellent flavor, the pork steak I could cut with my fork. I had the baked beans and chips. The baked beans and chips are both good. I just wish we lived closer so I could enjoy them more. But when we are in the area we will be going back."
