"Atmosphere" is lower due to tables and chairs in bad need of repair and upgrading. Service was excellent. Food was good. The only thing that kept it from being 5 stars was that the request for the catfish to be cooked extra crispy didn't get honored (the catfish was still good). Also, the hush puppies were a bit bland. The vegetables (butter beans and blackeyed peas) were cooked and tasted Southern good - well done, NOT mushy, with just enough salt. I asked which cobbler had the most fruit (some have pitifully few pieces and are mostly pie crust). I was steered toward the blackberry and it was delicious with vanilla ice cream, having quite a few berries and just the right amount of crust.

I enjoyed a delicious pot roast, gravy and mashed potatoes, fried okra. Great food and service, loved the nostalgia, great location. There’s a reason it was crowded on a Tuesday after Christmas. Their Blackberry cobbler and ice cream was amazing!! Can’t wait to go back.
