I was recently in Amarillo for work. My hosts took me to his small, family owned restaurant and it did not disappoint. I ate the catfish, twice baked mashed potatos, and green beans. The corn meal battered fish was seasoned and fried to southern perfection. It was clearly run by a lovely family who welcomes everyone with the care and kindness of a family. If am there on a day outside of Friday, I look forward to trying their other main dishes. I certainly would not hesitate to recommend this place for Friday fish and solid Southern cooking.

The best fried chicken and sides I have ever had. All home cooked. With home cooked pies and cakes. The buttermilk pie was to die for. Wanted to bring it home, but unfortunately I tasted it and it did not make it home with me. But I do have the coca cola cake to enjoy for later. The people that work are outstanding and very nice. Great experience.
