Here I am...back at Kings for another pan of potato salad. Angie the cashier was very helpful & knowledgeable. She greeted me at the door asking how she could assist me. The last time I bought a pan of potato salad from them, I took it to South Carolina. People were ranting & raving over the taste. They even wanted the specifics of where I had purchased it from.

I really love family run businesses and it doesn't get any more family run than this one. Everyone was so kind and accommodating and the food is spectacular. My girlfriend had never tried one of the best breakfast combinations the world has ever seen, so lucky to have stumbled upon this place because their fried chicken was insanely good. So light and crunchy on the exterior and juicy meat of the inside! Paired with a waffle and syrup, it was heaven on earth! Their grits were especially good, the added cheese with another level of goodness. To Angela and the rest of the family, thank you so much for the delicious meal and welcoming atmosphere!
