Stopped by for lunch. We had barbecue sandwiches and fried chicken. It was all very good. The place wasn't crowded and it didn't take too long to get our order. They had some good looking cake but I decided I should pass on that. Good southern cooking!

Best Fried Chicken!! Always get the fried chicken when I go, and have tired their chicken bacon ranch sub and is also great. They use real fried chicken pieces on the sub, and the vinaigrette on the side is so good! Always have had a good experience!

What can you expect from a southern restaurant but southern hospitality and great food. Was not disappointed with my order, it was quite tasty, the price was right and even though there was a little wait, it was well worth it. Would definitely recommend!

***MUST READ!*** Hidden gem in Elizabethtown. Lived here for almost two years, knew they had good fried chicken through church functions. Their breakfast is amazing and worth the stop. I have not tried their hot or cold subs but I am looking forward to it!!! This is a "hole in the wall". If you are pretentious, you WILL be missing out!
