I ordered the shrimp with grits and fried egg...baby i couldn't even finish the food! Its so fulfilling and flavorful! It did lack salt but they put salt in the bag on the side which is considerate if people palates. I definitely recommend!

Grits were bland and I asked for cheese but didn't get it. Fish grease drained all over food making everything too greasy and taking away from the flavor. I think they should drain the oil from the fish prior to putting on top of other food or put in a separate container. way too greasy to enjoy the eggs are submerged in fish grease. good portion size dish may be better dining in.

I don't think this plate is worth $22. The portion size was dismal but that's my only complaint. The taste is great, the cabbage was cooked well and the mac was seasoned and cheesy.

The chicken was really hard and not fried, not how it tasted last time we sat down there. The people were nice and the communication was good but I probably won't order again I'll rather go in. Also the drink wasn't cold.

Fried Shrimp with Whiting was generous in size. a tad bit salty and it still tasted delicious.
Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls I'm not a fan.
Cherry's is my go to spot for good food. I decided to try something new. I will order the Fried Shrimp with Whiting again.
