I grew up going to this place with my grandparents and they introduced me to the bird dog on the menu when I was younger. Ever since then I’ve always came here just for their bird dogs and it will forever be a fav of mine!! It’s very southern and this is the place where you can find some good country cooking. Highly recommend this place!

Frankly, I don’t know how they could ever get less than four stars. We have been treated and fed like family. Our usual waitress, Ashley, remembers our names and makes the visit memorable for us every time. The food: one of the best crispy batters I’ve ever tasted. The appetizers are always enough and always fresh. They make the tastiest Arny Palmer. I had never ordered fried chicken livers before, and that is now my favorite dish. I’ve had their fried chicken and it’s crispy and juicy. The Cole slaw is not peppery or too wet. You’ll like the way and relaxed atmosphere. Tables are usually available and parking is plentiful. They remodeled some months ago. Expect a Southern treat.
