In Short – The dining room has red and yellow plastic benches and a fast-food style decor. The real draw here is the inexpensive barbecue, slow-smoked and bathed in tangy, spicy-sweet sauce. The menu offers several options, from beef and pork ribs to chicken and shredded pork. For sides, the collard greens are smoky, tender and laced with pieces of pork. There's also fried okra and sweet corn muffins that accompany everything.

Best Fried Chicken In Town!

by Delectibly Delicious Diva

I love Fried Chicken and am VERY picky about where I eat it from and how it tastes! This is the first place in FOREVER that I can honestly say I am IN LOVE with their Fried Chicken! It is SO YUMMY for the tummy! O BOY the Yam Fries are Delicious! As is the Cole Slaw YUM!

I like the service and they are a family atmosphere. One would have to get acquired to the neighborhood to know that the more you go the friendlier they get. They pride themselves on their food and treat their customers like family once they have come in a few times. At first they seem reserved, but once they get to know you they are VERY loving FOLKS!!!

  • Pros: Their Fried Chicken is SOoOoO GOOD!!!
  • Cons: bathrooms aren't 'spick and span', but WHO CARES!!!
