    Three of us met for lunch and we're immediately seated. Our server KC was wonderful, very solicitous, accurate and brought our food quickly. I ordered the small fried chicken mashed potatoes gravy and asparagus. I had never tried that meal before and wanted to try something different and I was really glad I did because it was totally delicious and I would definitely order it again. Desha's is a fantastic place; excellent service. You won't be disappointed!

    Our reservation was for an Anniversary. The hostess put us in a lakeside room where there were no other couples when we arrived. The waiter was prompt & courteous. The daily special was wonderful.
