Thank you so much for this review!! We really appreciate the kind words. Christy is our manager and she does a great job of working hard to make sure that not only are our guests pleased with each and every experience but also making sure that the workers are taken care of too. We will definitely be passing this along to all who assisted with the catering job and Christy as well.

Wasn't impressed at all. Got the fried catfish platter. Fish wasn't seasoned well. Tea could have been better. But really enjoyed my company. My oldest son and his family. 

Business response:

Hi Maxine. We are very sorry to hear you disliked your food so much. As you see by our over 280 five star reviews this is not the norm. We hope you had a chance to speak with management and if not please feel free to email our manager at christym311@gmail.com so we can figure out what went wrong. We are happy to hear that you got to spend some quality time with your family though!
