Lots of food! A white meat fried chicken plate has a wing and TWO large breasts, and 2 sides. My wife and I could have easily shared one plate. Very tender & juicy. Elizabeth took excellent care of us!
Lee A.
The barbecue Inn has the best fried shrimp and chicken fried steak they’re known for their baked potatoes, which are always large and delicious. Their service is impeccable and they’ve been here since 1946. It’s a great place to take your family to. Martha our waitress was very attentive. Great smiles. ❤️
