Cafeteria-style meat-and-three lunch and dinner. In the space formerly occupied by Bert's on the Bluff. Owned by the same folks at the Tip Top Grill across the street. Homestyle meats and veggies, such as meat loaf, pot roast, baked fish, fried chicken, black-eyed peas, turnip greens, lima beans, creamed corn, fried okra, macaroni and cheese, etc. In an August 2007 review in City Scene, Deeana Crider notes the "cheerful" decor with "fresh, clean appeal" and had high marks for country-fried steak, country ham, fried catfish, mashed potatoes, turnip greens (which were good but too spicy), cornbread, peach cobbler and banana pudding.

Don't be deterred by the exterior; this is authentic soul food and boy is it good. We enjoyed fried pork chops, baked chicken, dressing, candied yams, pinto beans, collard greens, corn muffins and sweet homemade lemonade. Oxtails and chitterlings on certain days of the week, along with fresh meats and veggies served daily, and homemade banana pudding and peach cobbler. Call menu line at 320-0357 for daily selections.
