I've been wanting to visit this location because it has many fresh local vegetables and the menu looks delicious. When we arrived around 3:30pm, I was pleasantly surprised about how busy they were, so I took a minute to look at the different sauces, jams, deserts, soups, pimento cheese, and frozen vegetables.
When the line thinned out for the cooked food, then we placed our order. We tried a little of everything. Fried chicken, smothered chicken, and beef tips and rice for the main meal. Then the sides were Mac-n-cheese, collard greens, and cornbread dressing and gravy. The chicken was fried to perfection! The smothered chicken was cooked in a cream of chicken gravy instead of a brown gravy, so it tasted like the holidays. The beef tips were nice and tender. The downside for me were the side dishes: the cornbread that was made for the dressing had a large amount of sugar cooked into it and I just hate soulfood that has sugar added. The collard greens could of been cooked down more and was heavily over smoked (seems like liquid smoke was used), and the Mac-n-cheese lacked salt and the bread crumb that was on top tasted like sugar as well!
Please don't come here hungry or you will leave with the whole market! I removed a star due to the sugar that was in the cornbread, but overall I would return to this local gem. The highlight was the fresh frozen peas and beans, and the deserts for my family!
