This place is a hidden gem in downtown Twentynine Palms, with it’s homemade southern style menu. The service was so amazing and the food was prepared fresh and served in a timely matter.

I've been a total of 3 times. My initial experience was terrific, service was friendly, atmosphere was nice and food was better than I anticipated. I ordered fried fish but was given baked. Wasn't worth the hassle to take it back. The last 2 times were less than good, especially the last. The food tasted different, very bland, lukewarm as if it had been nuked in the microwave, the fish was extremely small, and the portions way smaller. I bought extra fish on the side, which I'm glad I did after seeing our 2 dinners. For the prices listed, the portions should be bigger and perhaps recipe's should be consistent. I'm hesitant to order food again as I value what I spend and I don't care to be disappointed again.
