Great place for home style southern cuisine. The chicken renders were the biggest I have ever seen and everything else was authentic and very well done. It was a little chilly in there, but I'll deal with it. Super value for what I received. Highly recommended for this kind of cuisine!

The food was delicious. Despite the long line when we entered, the staff did a good job servicing customers quickly. The dining room area was clean, and staff was observed cleaning tables, as customers left. Good first experience. Thank you.

Service was quick, and the food was hot and fresh. The only downfall was the restaurant was too cold to enjoy the food so we ate in the car. I will definitely pick up a to-go order the next time I'm in Augusta, GA
