Growing up in the city of Newark, New Jersey, raised by a mother who didn’t eat pork and spending the weekends with a southern grandmother was not easy. My grandmother Mary T. Williams would start breakfast every morning at 5am. She would cook eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, grits and toast. My mother would threaten they we better only eat the grits. So, I found every way possible to eat grits.

Our goal is to pay homage to the simple values of faith, family, and friends that are evidenced by the strong sense of unity in the community. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy your dining experience. You’re one of the folks.
