Nice place, friendly staff, good food, and reasonable prices. I had the frog leg plate with mashed potatoes and breaded okra. The serving was substantial, and I'm looking forward to the leftovers

A quaint shed right off the road with a small community feel. The menu had lots of options but our waitress was quick to tell us first-timers the crowd favorites. Their food tasted very homemade and could definitely be classified as comfort food. If you like bbq or fish that tastes like dad used to make, this place is worth the stop.
