| - Southern food should make you happy, it should as my friend Arry S. puts it so plainly, "it's like being hugged... from the inside out."
Dish does that, you can only feel like the happy slowly filling you from the inside out. I mean look, it's a simple location, a diner, by all traits. It's not Johnny Rockets diner, it's the corner, hole in the wall diner, that you bring a girlfriend, wife, or someone you care about, for food that you wished your mom cooked every day for you.
In a bowl of warmth, you find yourself knee deep in Tomato Soup, a creamy, buttery, tangy, gritty all-in-one smart dish. Served with a buttermilk biscuit, brushed with butter, you can't ask for more for a starter. The Chicken and Dumplings is that little slice of goodness, it's like the stuff your mother decided, to reward herself, but thought you might like it also. The chicken was tender, and the dumplings were nicely done. The Mac and Cheese, was the kind you find in Southern Cooking. It's not the creamy kind you find in the fridge section, but the made-by-some-person-in-your-kitchen-sensibility and taste. You may want some crazy cheese sauce, but this is the kind that makes you realize, they make it the way you make it at home, but just a little bit better.
Okay, I'm not from the south, but I have been to every state in the US. There are great foods out there, and really, this places shows that you don't have to execute gastro-etymology, to show case, the simple home like flavors that make this place a must visit.
