Been going here since 2009. Travel by bus. Subtle changes but still great. No fried okra. No choice on gravy served under CFS. Meat very tender. Huge beautiful roll. Cut in half probably cover steak, loved it. Great waitress. Half order onion rings was ridiculously huge. Take home with piece of CFS. Overall outstanding.
