• Our Salad Bar veggies are all fresh and local. 
• We make our Ranch Dressing and Tuna Salad from scratch.
• Our Yeast Rolls are panned, proofed, and baked fresh daily, then brushed with melted butter before serving.
• Our Soups and Sides NEVER come from a can.
• Our chicken, pork, and beef are NEVER frozen.
• Our fried meats and seafoods are hand-battered and cooked fresh to order.
• Chef Toy makes our Meatloaf from scratch. He brines our Fried Chicken, Pork Chops, and Chicken Wings. He marinates and slow-cooks pork butts to start our Pulled BBQ Pork. He carves our Steak by hand and marinates and grills it himself. He seasons and marinates our BBQ Ribs before he slow-cooks them and slices them. He bakes and carves our Ham and Turkey, and he seasons and braises our Ham Hocks & Turkey Necks (which he also butchers). 
• Chef Deloris makes our Spaghetti and Broccoli Cheese Casserole from scratch every week.
• Chef Amino seasons our Lemon Pepper Baked Chicken and makes the glaze for our Candied Yams. She also pulls the BBQ pork butts and adds BBQ sauce to finish the Pulled BBQ Pork.

• Our Ice Cream is 100% dairy. Most soft serve ice cream is a dry powder mix that you add water to, but ours is literally melted ice cream that comes in a refrigerated milk jug and has to be frozen before serving.
• We stock only name-brand condiments like Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce, Ken's Honey Mustard, A1 Steak Sauce, Heinz 57, Louisiana Hot Sauce, Crystal Hot Sauce, and Tabasco.
