Food was excellent, On my fav list, staff was awesome. If any one gets around Real Southern Cooking it's a must stop, Best Oxtail I've had in a long time

When you walk in, the beautiful ladies make you feel so welcome! They are insanely sweet, and it’s immediately obvious they love what they do! Between the service, and the food, I would give them more than 5 stars if I could!

Absolutely wonderful! Best smothered pork chops. Ever. All the food was fresh cooked, homestyle deliciousness. We had beef tips with rice and gravy, smother pork chops with rice and gravy, black eyed peas, green beans, cabbage, pinto beans, fresh baked corn read, fresh brewed tea, and strawberry bread pudding. Each bite was as good as the next. These ladies take care of each customer, which takes a minute. Also, remember this is FRESH. They may sell out of some items if you don't get there early. Definitely will return.

What a great gem to find. The service was amazing. They gave us samples of the food before filling our plates. You will never leave this place hungry. I will be back again and again!

Wish the daily lunch special came with a drink but the food was amazing! I had the chicken spaghetti, collard greens, and mashed potatoes, and corn bread and it while the entree had a bit of kick I enjoyed it so much!
