Super friendly staff and exceptional food. I was a little discouraged at first by the $10 kids meals that didn’t come with drink, but knowing it supported a great cause and after seeing it was a large portion compared to a regular size kids meal, I really felt it was totally worth it. There wasn’t a single person in there that didn’t give us a smile and you could tell they were blessed to be there. This was our second time there, as we aren’t generally from this area, and we will be back again. I have added photos of the food. There wasn’t a single item we tried that wasn’t good.

When I tell you that this will be ome of the best bites youve ever had, I mean it. Did I have high expectations for a cajun queso crawfish and sausage quesadilla? Absolutely. Were those expectations met? 100%. This was also true for the fish, fries, fried pickles, Shrimp, slaw, and corn muffin. You won't be the price. You won't beat the taste. You won't beat the mission.

Stopped a few weeks ago. I'm so glad we did! Everything was excellent!! He tried that days special of catfish and shrimp with sides of fried okra and French fries. I ordered the country fried steak with mashed potatoes and fried okra. White gravy on the steak and potatoes. The special of fried catfish and shrimp arrived with a creamy sauce over the fish. I love fried fish all by itself so I eyed his plate with some skepticism. He finally thrust a shrimp at me and told me to just try it. It had some of the sauce on it. So I did. I could not figure out the ingredients in the sauce. I just knew I LOVED it! The country fried steak and white gravy was excellent, as were all of our sides. We had to have a to go box. On the way out, we talked with the man who had taken our orders. I wanted to know what the sauce was. He told me it was a cheese sauce (total shock) that he added his special blend of spices to! Yum! We congratulated him on his culinary skill with his spice blend (which brought a huge smile to his face that warmed my hesrt) and let him know that all the food was excellent! The cafe was spotless. It has been updated over the years since opening. Took almost no time to get our orders delivered to the table. All staff were kind and helpful. Thank you very much. If you are traveling in the vicinity of Winnfield, Dodson or Jonesboro and you're ready for lunch or dinner, this place will NOT disappoint!

I was cooked for 6 months. Christian music, great food, can watch the games, + good cause. Run by Louisiana Adult and Teen challenge which saved my life through Jesus. Hallelujah.
