Good southern food. I love the fried catfish. Never have had a bad experience here. Friendly staff, sometimes they are a little busy so it might take a while sometimes to see your waitress. All in all, 5 stars.

Lovely view of the pond/lake out back. Prices are reasonable, service is still great, food hit and fresh. A good family atmosphere.
