“ We had breakfast here the other day and it was delicious! Service was awesome and very clean! Will be going back! ”
“ These folks aren’t messing around up here. I have not had a comfort style stick to your ribs kind of meal like this in a long time. Everything I had was great. The fired chicken, the mashed potatoes, I had to refrain from drinking the gravy by itself, the cabbage and cornbread was so good. And the chocolate Bundt cake was so moist and fresh. Seriously when I’m driving through butler I’ll be coming here no exceptions. The photo speaks for itself ”
“ Our family just moved to Alabama A couple of weeks ago and we were excited to try the food here and boy Did it not disappoint. We have been in here twice and today we decided to try a few items on the menu, including the fried chicken. I have to quote our 10-year-old son “ this is by far the best fried chicken I have ever had!” It was surprising to hear because he normally does not like chicken and he ended up eating three pieces! I will say that I agree with with him. It was definitely flavorful and juicy, and probably the best chicken we’ve had. Our other favorite are the egg rolls, they are jam packed with flavor and just the right heat. The icing on the cake were the very kind people who work there and make the delicious food. They were extremely welcoming and very kind. We will be back! ”
