“ We loved this small corner mom & pop ish restaurant. Home cooked food with great service. It was a lil bit of a drive from where we were staying but well worth it. Probably one of the best meals we have had while in Memphis. I have never had such amazing country ham! Crispy and smoky just delicious! If we ever find ourselves back in Memphis we will definitely come back ”
