Went to try this place for the first time and must say I was very disappointed. I?m all in and LOVE to patronize black-owned... businesses but there was a severe lack of consideration and customer service on my visit. My family dined in. At the counter wewere told to sit anywhere. When someone finally came over we ordered drinks. We got our drinks and sat another 30 minutes,without menus so I looked up the menu online so that we would be ready whenever someone remembered we were waiting. Meanwhile,my two youngest drinking up lemonade and I?m thinking I might as well just pay for the drinks and leave because it was apparentthat they didn?t care that we come to eat and it was going on 45 minutes! Someone finally comes over and we order, which I?m notsure how we were overlooked several times while they had someone going to other tables. I was a little irritated by this timebut still tried to wait it out. Food finally came, we?d been there a little over an hour at this time. The catfish for mydaughter and I was in fact delicious. The smothered pork chops for my son was cold and they didn?t bring his side of black-eyedpeas. They brought out greens instead and said they would get the peas. Never brought them, I guess they just said he betterjust eat the greens?! Could?ve just said they didn?t have any or whatever instead of just not bringing them back or sayinganything else. Oh let me also say we had to ask for silverware too. It was just all over the place in there. I hope things getbetter because the food is good and it?s a really big deal to have this kind of restaurant in West Texas. Read more
First time going there and let me say I was blown away by the food, the staff that was working were very nice and friendly, the... environment was welcoming, everything was fresh and hot, I got the fried catfish and it was probably the best I?ve tasted so farliving in midland, the sides I recommend are the trio of greens, fried cabbage and the candied yams, I?m definitely going againsometime next week to try out more of the items they have. Before and after pics to show how good everything I got was. Idefinitely recommend coming here if you want to eat great food. Read more
Easily one of the best restaurants in Midland, definitely in my top 10. So far we have tried a good few things off of the menu... and it's enough to make us want to try everything they have to offer. Everything is always so fresh, and made with love. I hopeto see this business continue to thrive ???? Read more

Saw the reviews, was excited, optimistic, ready for a good meal.. but what the fuuuuuu*#!! I cannot recall a more enjoyable... first bite.. IN MY LIFE! The fried catfish transported me to a new dimension. Flavorful, beautiful mix of spices, trulyperfection to my taste buds. The fish itself was sublime and the kicker? It wasn?t greasy! I was simply in awe the entiretime. The staff were also really friendly and helpful with me as I asked for recommendations. Such a warm and comforting vibefrom the staff in general. I hope.. HOPE!.. that one day I can experience this gem once again, but if I can?t, I will make itmy life?s mission to tell everyone in my life to travel to Midland, with the sole purpose of eating here. If you?re stillreading this, stop reading and go eat here, it will not disappoint. Read more
I won a gift certificate at rock 95.1. We got a 2 person plate which included 2 burger combos and 2 slices of cake. Owners are... very friendly and the food was delicious. The portion on the French fries was a bit small in my opinion but, that's just what itis, my opinion. We will be going back to try out the fried catfish plate. The owner said we missed the bbq plate yesterday(Sunday). We were the only ones at the dine in area at the time so, that was pretty cool for us. Give it try for yourself andsee what you think. We all have different taste and opinions. Read more
