   Since I do not eat pork, I order the turkey tips. They are extremely tender and delicious!

   Not sure what changed, but plate presentation is now all in paper/cardboard. Sauces in plastic ramekins. A step down for an establishment that appeared to be doing well. Next is plastic utensils. Food is decent but cold use some work on greens, Mac, and cold cornbread. Bartenders seem to think they’re better than the rest of the staff and had an attitude. Asked for plates for our platter since server was busy, looked at me like I had shh on my face. Teamwork makes business as well as the team success. Planned on leaving the table and to the bar later and leave gratuitu there as well, but didn’t order and didn’t go there because of the attitude. Also, if customers are walking, your bartender cut me off as well as two other patrons. Let the customer go first. Your carry out bid isn’t that important than setting the perceived culture.

   The food was delicious and our server Lex McKee amazing. He made sure our glasses were refilled without use asking.He took his time to explained any and all questions about the menu as well as pricing. He was very knowledgeable about everyone meal as well as giving us excellent suggestions. Thanks for the amazing service. Thanks for accommodating our large group. Lex went above and beyond.

   We had a party of six including small children. We were seated as soon as we all arrived, our waiter was attentive and answered questions clearly. The food (especially the chicken wings) was yummy and the service was quick!

   We made reservations and still had to wait about 15 mins despite there being serval tables open. Cons- didn’t like the atmosphere, lemon drop wasn’t the best, greens were disgusting, & waited 30 mins + for my macaroni after my food arrived. Pros - tips & catfish were really good!! Will I be back? Probably not.

   Everything was great, they had the Bears game on ever TV! I’m an Eagles fan and I came to watch that game. I asked and they turn two TVs on for me to watch the game!

   Lex was our waiter, the service was top notch. The food was quick, fresh, and exceedingly good. The souls rolls are an absolute must try. We were visiting from Florida and NC for my sister’s birthday. We will definitely be back just so we can visit Wilma’s again

   Our reservation was at 9pm kitchen closes at 10pm a they were out of rib tips. The chicken was amazing and the sides was pretty good. They only had one server and she did her best juggling multiple people. I will give it another try.

   We came in when it was not busy (3 customers max), and the service and food took 55 minutes to get to our table. The waitress only checked on us once at the end of the meal to hand us our bill. Also, should consider having all condiments available to service the meal (cocktail sauce for the jumbo shrimp)
