Great food! Even if busy, you can get your food in a hurry, and it is hot. No complaints about anything.

Interesting concept...you serve yourself and pay by the weight of your meal...I had fried chicken, red potatoes, and pinto beans...all were very good...they had a wide variety of things to choose from and several desserts as well. My meal was under 10, including my drink. I would eat there again.

Perfect taste of the South for us tourists! Popping place, felt like full of locals, most everyone with the sweet tea :) With the plate by the pound method, I wish I could self-serve the salads too

You can never go wrong with this place! The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. The food is always great with so many options it makes it difficult to make a decision. I’ll continue to come back to this place for sure.

Very unique Blue Plate Special menu. It offers a choice of meat with 4 sides for 10! The shrimp and grits were savory, and the Almond Joy Bread Pudding was fantastic!

Wow! This is great food at a great price. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I would come a couple of days a week if I lived in the area. They had gluten free food and dessert offerings. The GF peanut butter pie was so delicious. I highly recommend you come!
