“ First time here...4-5 stars...very good southern cooking! Customer service was great, everyone was so nice and they were playing gospel music which I absolutely luv, really sets a good atmosphere! Clean and neat, smaller inside but still able to sit. Went after church on Sunday and it got packed quick, line was out the door! Had fried chicken plate and smothered pork chop, comes with 2 sides and cornbread or roll. Side of pig feet also. Had Mac n cheese which was peppery and cheesy. Beans/peas and candy yams. Pork chop came over rice...had 2 waters...$34!! Well worth the price...I will absolutely be back, no doubt!! ”
“ I was really wanting this to be good and I was not disappointed at all. This was some of the best southern cooking Ive had in a while. My wife and I had the cabbage and we both agreed it was perfect. The pork chop was amazing and the jalapeno cornbread was out of this world good. My wifes office is near by so Lilys is now a regular for us. I highly recommend! ”

“ Very nice spot to get some quick delicious fulfilling food. I had baked chicken with dressing, cabbage, and Mac n cheese. Mac n cheese 10/10, I can’t wait to get more. The white chicken was dry and the dressing was a little over seasoned. Overall, it’s good food and I would give it a try again. Free sweet tea with meal!! Very nice gesture. ”
