REVIEWS:

I LOVE this place- simple, no gimmick, no bullshit and great fresh food. You pay $10 you get one meat and one sides. Add one more buck you get an extra side. For vegetarian $9 gets you a plate with 3 Sides. I will let their selections speak for themselves: Meat: - Fried Chicken - Roasted Chicken - Grilled Chicken - Grilled Salmon - Meatloaf Sides: - Broccoli w/ Roasted Garlic - Roasted Brussel Sprouts - Chinese Greens w/ Crispy Ginger - Coleslaw - Fresh Corn Salad - Green Beans w/ Carmelized Onions - Honey-glazed Sweet Potatoes - Mashed Potatoes - Mac & Cheese - Mixed Green Salad - Pasta o’ The Day - Red Swiss Chard - Roasted Carrots & Beats - Roasted Potatoes - Roasted Turnips - Showpeas w/ Sesame Seeds - Tomato Salad w/ Feta - Zucchini We got the Fried Chicken with Tomato Feta salad and Red Swiss Chard. The Fried chicken is subtlely seasoned. Not too salty but one can really taste the rosemary and other spices and the real chicken flava. We are lucky that the chicken just came out so we got a perfectly crunchy and juicy piece of bird. The tomato salad and chard are very fresh that makes me believe I cannot make it better than them. And the best part is, THE PORTION IS HUGE! We spend $11 and share the plate and we got food coma at the end. No kidding!
