From a small dream in Irondale to your family's favorite gathering place - this is the story of how Southern comfort food, genuine hospitality, and three generations of recipes created something truly special
For over 15 years, we've been more than just a restaurant in Irondale - we've been a gathering place where neighbors become friends and every meal feels like coming home. What started as a dream to share authentic Southern cooking has grown into a family tradition that spans generations of loyal customers.
Our "meat and three" isn't just a menu style - it's how we were raised, how our grandmothers cooked, and how we believe food should be served. We get up before dawn every day to prepare fresh vegetables, hand-bread our catfish, and slow-cook our greens because that's the only way we know how to do it. When you walk through our doors, you're not just a customer - you're family.

Our skilled chefs bring passion and expertise to every dish
Step into our kitchen any morning at 5 AM and you'll find us already hard at work - not because we have to be, but because this is what we love. Our kitchen isn't just where we cook; it's where three generations of recipes come to life, where we honor the women who taught us, and where every dish tells a story.
We don't take shortcuts because our customers deserve better. Our collard greens simmer for hours, our cornbread is made from scratch every batch, and our fried chicken is seasoned with the same blend my grandmother used. Some folks ask why we don't use pre-made this or frozen that - the answer is simple: this is how real Southern food is supposed to taste.
