    Wow! Where do I start?!? It's very rare that I experience phenomenal customer service but today was an exception. Closing time is 1400 on Saturdays so I called ahead to be sure that they indeed closed at that time since I'd be traveling 15 minutes to their location. Upon arriving I was greeted with a welcoming and friendly hello! The cashier asked if I would be dining in or take out. I was completely shocked because it was within 5 to 10 minutes to closing. Normally when it's that close to closing, the only option is take out but not today. I ordered my food then was treated to a very unexpected surprise blessing! Needless to say the two ladies were really really nice and pleasant. I ordered rice, yams, potato salad, and chicken breast with cornbread just like my mother often made. Everything was so very delicious. I will definitely be going back very very soon!

    Great Soul Food and beautiful, quaint, historic madison, Georgia. The owner Ms. Daisy and her staff are so accommodating, friendly, and service-oriented. I take my elderly mom there and they go out of their way to help me get her seated, to make special orders for her from time to time, and help me get her food to the table since my mom is disabled. I can't recommend this place enough! It's not to be missed if you're in or near Madison, Georgia.

    We visited today and will definitely be back. We were greeted with a warm hello and the food is amazing. The squash casserole was to die for. Hubby and I walked out with full bellies and leftovers bc the portions are HUGE. I highly recommend them
