    We came with friends, which we do periodically. Our server was fine, and our food came correctly. I always order the 1 meat meal, which comes with two chicken breasts. There was very little meat, and part of it is always cut off when I get the meal, so it isn't the full breast. The baked potato was fresh and fluffy.

    We had the shrimp special and the shrimp were plump and delicious. Tasty coleslaw, fries, with a moist cornbread muffin, all for $15! Our server was one of the best, very efficient and brought us refills on water without us asking or waiting. We definitely will go again.
