I haven't tried the pork chop but would love too.  The Grits tasted like normal porridge. Wings (6) and Waffles I like the wings and the waffle is not that sweet (which I like) Katfish  Really Like the Katfish, Grits tasted like porridge which I like Wings & Grits with Potatoes and Toast Went to the other branch just beside it. They serve the same food.
