We had our 1st Ms Arlene’s experience when the restaurant was in the downtown section. Apparently she had move due to the COVID Pandemic.? This new spot is a bit difficult to find, DO NOT GET ON THE SERVICE RD😎 Look for the tiny road that looks like a driveway, beside the service road. I had the Hamburger(Allow up to 20 minutes to prepare)…it was GREAT, fried also nice and crispy. I did ask for LOTS of Jalapeños and lots of mustard….guess I needed to be more specific 😎 Wifey had the Okrie/Tomatoes, pinto beans and collard greens. All were yummy! Paid CASH to save a bit of $$$

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Absolutely the best chicken fried steak I have had in Navarro County. Ms. Arlene, the sweet and soulful owner, makes every meal to order. I had the chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, and collard greens. (I always order my cream gravy on the side so I can get a better taste of the seasoning that goes into the batter and mashed potatoes.) Everything was seasoned to absolute perfection, you could genuinely feel the love she puts into her home cooking. The chicken fried steak was absolutely phenomenal. I would put this up there in my top 3 chicken fried steaks I've had in Texas, and I've had A LOT of chicken fried steaks. The batter was crisp, delicately seasoned. The steak was tender and cooked absolutely spot on. The mashed potatoes were perfect, just like my mother's. The green were so, so damn good. And let's not forget the gravy, freshly made and (not surprisingly) perfectly seasoned. The menu changes daily but it does have consistent items. I can't wait to try the chicken and dumplings the next time I am in the area. Ms. Arlene as well will visit with you after your meal, and if you're open to the opportunity, she asks to take your photo so she can post it on their Facebook page that highlights first time visitors. While today was my first time, it definitely won't be my last. I wish Ms. Arlene all the best, she is a true gem.

Passing through from Dallas back to Houston. If you want true & delicious soul food? This is the place!! Tastes like true home cooking. I will definitely be stopping by again. The service: you can’t get anywhere. So kind. Wasn’t rude or giving attitude. If you are traveling, you should try it. I got the chicken fried steak. & Hamburger steak. Greens, corn bread, mashed potato, mac and cheese
