Today is a great day to have one of our delicious burgers and awesome fries! We have a question, though. How do you like the new fries vs the old crinkle cut fries? It is nearly impossible to get good crinkle cut fries now, and a lot of people like the new ones, but we are generally resistant to change. Have you tried the new ones? What do you think we should do?

Last week, I posted Happy Friesday to showcase our fries. I have to admit it wasn't my best work and it was a bit corny... ummm speaking of corn, did you know our tamales are made Mississippi delta style with corn meal mush and specially seasoned chili meat. In fact, our Tamale Spread is one of our most popular dishes. You'll know exactly why when you try it!
