Service and food was great. Southern hospitality in all ways. I will come back when I visit Memphis again.
Customer service is excellent. The two kindest people are working behind the counter and all the food is cooked to perfection. I got the wing plate. Seven big wings with fries and a bottle soda. The wings were so so good. The fries were crispy and my drink cold. I will always recommend this black owned restaurant! Please come try them out. The best wings you'll ever have.
We purposely dined here because it is a black owned restaurant. It did not disappoint! The fried chicken was so yummy and a great amount of crispy! The sweet yams were soo good and flavored well. The owner was friendly to us and I found out later how much history he has lived through! So cool he was with MLK!! There are plenty of seats as well. We took a bus here so I'm not sure about parking. The food is good!
Black owned spot downtown so it's automatically a yes for me. We ended up in here after grabbing coffee nearby. The staff were so patient with us and it was needed because there were so many options! We literally were like hey we want pancakes but we also want fish and some other stuff, and they hooked us up! There were people coming in for to-go orders as well. In addition to breakfast food they have Turkey wings, fish, chicken, and other proteins.
The food is good, the service was great considering the crowd they had. They were relaxed never got into a rush but kept the comfortable pace. The inside is very unassuming but it is comfortable. Definitely will visit again
