Great place to eat. Wonderful staff with smiling faces. Dine inside or outside underneath covered canopy. Food is amazing. Seems to be a popular establishment among the locals. Highly recommended for your dining pleasure. Trust me your taste buds will thank you.

Wife and I decided to stop here for dinner. There was a bit of a wait as there were quite a few people in line but that in itself could be a good sign. I selected a hamburger with a side of fries while the wife opted for the small fish plate. I polished off my hamburger and liberated one of her pieces of fish while she attempted to sneak one of my onion rings. My burger was fine though it sort of started to fall apart on me and here food was good as I assisted in finishing off her coleslaw, fries, and fish when she said she was full.

Pros: the Brisket is the clear front runner here. Plate was handsomely portioned and it was more than one could eat. The field peas with bacon rounded things nicely and had a great flavor. The country charm atmosphere and wide adequate seating made for a comfortable lunch visit. Cons: the cornbread is more like a corn flour biscuit and though it didn’t impress, it did remind me of our rural great-grandmother’s homemade fixing. The mashed potatoes were lackluster with what I assume was nearly packet gravy.

Our GPS took us through Jena to save on time. We were a little hesitant to stop by as everyone kept telling us to go through Pineville instead. Needless to say I’m glad we didn’t because this place was awesome. Brisket was juicy and super tender 10/10 the chicken almost stole the show it was amazing. Sides were delicious as well. Bbq sauce was nice and smoky. The lady who brought our food to our table was very sweet as well. My only complaint was some of the women behind the counter could use a little more customer service training as the men preparing the meat were having to do their job for them, like no menus out, not addressing us while we were waiting to place an order etc but that was a minor deal in an otherwise great establishment. Stop by you won’t regret it!
