Found this hidden gem downtown by the White River and was glad I did. They had some delicious fried chicken, homemade mac and cheese, green beans, mashed potatoes, gravy and yeast rolls on the buffet, and I went away stuffed. The kind ladies who waited on me did a great job. Highly recommend.

Love this place! The food is amazing. He has a grilled chicken salad that is hands down the best I've ever had. Fish, burgers, special orders... they do it all.
