    Madeline, Foodservice Training Graduate

  • “I love the food here. Everything is well prepared, and please, please, please try the gumbo and the shrimp & grits!!”

    Andy, Restaurant Customer

  • “Everything was wonderful! The food was delicious and the servers were phenomenal. My first time there and hopefully it won’t be my last. I would love to come back without it being an event and just sit down and enjoy the food.”

  • “I never knew that they were building the foundation over there that would change my life.”

    Arnold, Foodservice Training Graduate

  • “The perfect balance of love and food. It's clear to see that they put their love into the food and care about everyone who walks through the door. Keep doing what you are doing. Now on to the poundcake!”
