So I looked on Tik Tok for a restaurant to eat at and this is one of a few that came up that was open on Sunday! So my family and I gave it a try. Absolutely loved this place. The food was great, it was a buffet, and so hospitable! I will definitely keep this in our restaurant files to return!

The Chef at D&B prepares the most delicious wings with dipping sauces that he created. You tell him what you like and he makes it amazing.

5.31.25 - while visiting the area I googled "fried fish"; fortunately we found this hidden gem. I was craving fried bone-in fish and ordered 2 croaker sandwiches and 1 flounder sandwich. Everything was tasteful, made to order, and fried to perfection! Other notables for you: black-owned, inside a historical building, offers sit in, there is a buffet, and a liquor bar. I hope they are aiming for better signage out front because had it not been for Google maps I would not have found them (see my pic of the only outside signage).

Found this place on Google and it did not disappoint. Walked in and felt like family. We wanted some mimosas to go with the food and they were out of champagne and sent a worker to the store to get some for us, service was better than most sit down restaurants I’ve been too. 10/10 amazing staff and great selection on the buffet this is the place if you want soul food and amazing service

I found this place on Ubereats and it did NOT disappoint!! The BBQ meat was amazing and the Mac and cheese was old school. The collard greens tasted fresh as could be! I couldn’t believe the amount of food that I got for the price! I give it an AAAAAAAA

The flounder and chicken was fried perfectly! The Mac n cheese, yams, baked beans and greens were so good, too. So nice in the inside and the service was excellent.

My father and I were so pleased with our meals! The fried fish and shrimp were delicious. The sides were outstanding, especially the red rice! And dessert is a must!
