This place has a special feel of respect to me. It's always so quiet and the atmosphere is perfect for a group setting. I usually pop in and get the fresh food made daily that is sooooo good. If you haven't had that friend chicken get there it is amazing. I also recommend you leave room for a fancy dessert with plenty to choose from. I used a coupon today for free pie so I went with pecan pie wow,wow,wow, it left me speechless. This place is so local and has convenient parking. It's a must stop in if near the east side of town.

The food was good as always and the service was quick. Got through the serving line in good time, despite how busy it looked when I got there. MCL was there when I needed them, as they were one of the few places to eat that had electricity after the storm. Not the cheapest place to eat, but the food is definitely worth it.

Absolutely fantastic cafeteria style dinner. All the food was great, there were too many options to choose from. Very friendly staff with minimal to no wait even during the lunch rush hour when everyone and there brother shows up (wich is a pretty good indication of their food). I wish there were more places like this one.

We went for the all-you-can-eat catfish for Lent. Food was excellent. Hot, fresh, flavorful. Service was fast and friendly. The pricing is a bit high at 44 for 2 people. But we both got dessert and water to drink. Will definitely be back.
