Its been a while since Ive been here to this place, and when I tell you, the food brings back so many memories and good times. The flavor has never lost its taste. Thank you, Mama Joyces, for your great service. The woman working in the front was very helpful. And definitely get extra Mama Joyces sauce on the catfish.

1010 all the way around, from the service to the food. I had the wing dinner with macaroni and yams and my boyfriend had the catfish dinner with greens and red beans and rice. Everything was hot and delicious. I am so happy we decided to come here.
