    We went for lunch on Father's Day after church. They had an awesome special for Fathers. Our server Mercury was fabulous. She was quick to take our orders and answered all of our questions. When the kitchen didn't have an item we ordered she came right out and gave us options after apologizing. They were even having a jazz band for a little later in the afternoon. We were happily surprised at how delicious our food was. Plus the portions were generous. I loved the tire sink in the ladies room! Very unique. We will be back to dine again. The catfish dinner was super yummy! The hush puppies were my favorite.
