“Stopped here on a whim after walking at Arabia Mountain Park and after reading some of the reviews. It is a very unassuming restaurant located in a plaza that looks almost vacant. Do not let that fool you! The food here was outstanding! It is freshly cooked, very delicious and most importantly it was hot! The fish was cooked crispy like I asked for and the fries were even good. The lemon pepper wings were seasoned just right. The entire meal hit the spot and the customer service was very friendly. I would definitely return.”

“I ordered fried whiting and hush puppies, while working in the area. The meal was prepared well, rather swiftly, and it tasted delicious! I will definitely be going back to try more items. (Sorry about the photo. I HAD to take a bite. 😆)”

“This morning I had a taste for breakfast and didn’t want to cook. I called my order in, the person that answered the phone was polite and informative. When I arrived my food was ready and hot, I added a coffee and it was added to my meal and made effortlessly. I enjoyed every bite. I would have taken photos but I scoffed it down on my ride back home. If I can give 10 stars I would. The food is delicious.”
