My daughter and I were visiting Madison and decided to try this café. What a hidden gem. The food was excellent. The family that runs this business was lovely. You felt like you were eating in your grandma's kitchen. Would highly recommend.

Restaurant is pretty small but several people took it to-go. They have good food. I had the pork ribs with mac-n-cheese and black eyed peas plus cornbread. Hubby had fried chicken, m-n-c & green beans. We ended with a slice of red velvet which was very light with a good frosting. We'd return if in the area again.

We're always looking for a new place to eat, and a friend found this place as a halfway point for lunch. None of us had visited, and we were excited to give it a try. The cafe is in a small older house with some indoor and outdoor seating. It has charm, and while it isn't big, there is plenty of seating for different party sizes. Service was great, and the people greeted us with smiles and laughter. You walk up to the counter to order, and the meal includes a drink (tea or lemonade). All of the food was flavorful, hot, and fresh. They cooked the fish to order; the ribs fell off of the bone, and the mac and cheese and collards were delicious. We sat for about an hour to just catch up, and it was great. Other people came in, and we had conversations with them too. It felt like a community gathering spot. We are in Madison for church and will definitely make some stops here for lunch.

It was a little off the beaten path, but it was a nice spot. Only reason it isn't 5 stars is because the cheese on top of the Mac and cheese was a bit over cooked. Turkey wings, rice and collard greens were good. The red velvet cake was bussin too!

Service was excellent. I got fish, collards, and mac. There was nothing special about the fish. But the sides were good. The mac and cheese was the star. I will definitely stop here on my way home for now on.

Very small and clean luncheon. I had the smothered pork chop, Mac and cheese and greens. It was all delicious. It's off the beaten path but well worth the drive. The service is outstanding and just all around a great visit. I highly recommend it. Enjoy.
