All of the employees are a Very friendly and professional staff and the food is always very fresh and the time to be seated is short. The location is very easy access from E Loop 820 and good safe drive to South Arlington and I always recommend this location to all of my friends and clients. I am a realtor and meet a lot of people that did not know that this location even existed. I have never had a negative experience when I go to this location and the food, service, and atmosphere are always very good. The staff is so good that they always know that I want the chicker fried chicken with the fried okra. Very good and filling.
