"There were four of us. All chicken was good. 1 complain the chicken was dry.. Food was nicely seasoned . Sweet tea was wonderful. Went at 2 and it was empty. Great service. I purchased a T-shirt. Our meal was 32$ for 2."

"Last Monday, I decided after a long weekend of no snow just ice that I needed to treat myself to something special. After I went to substation 2 to order me a number 19 all the way. I decided to go lizard thicket for a hot meal. So glad I went. I was undecided what I wanted to eat. I was either going to eat 2 piece chicken tenders with fried okra and peaches or cup of chicken and dumplings with macaroni and cheese and peaches. Guess, what I pick? You guess right. The small plate with chicken and dumplings. It was so good I ordered the cup but the don't sell the cup Togo which is so ludicrous to me. I brought the bowl for 5.99. It was worth it but I felt it wasn't worth it because I was on a budget. I don't like to be forced to buy higher if I don't have to. Everything was good and fresh. The macaroni was top tier. Not many people was in here. Before I left the cute old couple, well the mister asked my brother was I pregnant lol. I'm assuming because he came inside to get me. To my things and help me up. No sir I wish I was pregnant. Just have some health issues going on. He really made my day."

"During our trip to South Carolina we decided to try this restaurant out. Great selection of country foods at a very good price. I actually let the waitress pick her favorites for me and I was not disappointed. I had the chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes with gravy, Mac n cheese and yams.. all was fast hot and delicious. Wife had the smoked with cabbage and Mac n cheese. Definitely worth the trip and recommend it to anyone who passes through."
