Their Fried Catfish and Red Snapper stand out with perfectly crispy edges and succulent, flaky fish inside, offering a satisfying crunch and delicate seasoning. Equally irresistible are the Mom’s Seasoned Ribs and Mom’s BBQ Ribs, which fall off the bone, glazed with a smoky, tangy barbecue sauce that leaves you craving every last bite.

Fans rave about the Chicken and Waffles, where lightly spiced, crispy fried chicken pairs decadently with golden, fluffy waffles infused with just a hint of cinnamon, creating a harmonious dance of sweet and savory.

As for desserts, prepare to be enchanted by sweet Southern classics like the velvety Peach Cobbler, the indulgent Sock It to Me Cake, and the nostalgic Banana Cookie Pudding. Each bite sings with the comforting sweetness of home-baked love. To wash it all down, their bold Red Kool Aid – bursting with cherry flavor – or a refreshing fountain drink from their variety of Pepsi products will perfectly quench your thirst.
