Fried chicken was good. Hamburger steak was really good. Pork chop moist. Stuffing was moist but tasted like stove top brand. Mashed potatoes tasted like instant. Please make these items from scratch!!! Lima beans from a can. Needed ham or to be made from frozen. We will come back since it’s close to home.

Delicious!! Had fried chicken that was both moist and crunchy. The hamburger steak was juicy and covered in yummy onions and brown gravy. The vegetables were well seasoned and very flavorful. Our family would definitely return.
