Barbecue Might Not Be The Star of The Show
As Sylvester points out, if you believe the best seller on the menu is the barbecue meats, think again. His Granny’s Fried Chicken is not only delicious but also ranks among the top sellers. Granny’s Fried Chicken is truly a labor of love that captures the essence of home cooking! The secret lies in the unique blend of spices that Sylvester has perfected over the years, paying homage to his Granny’s cherished recipe. Each piece of chicken is marinated to saturate it with flavor, ensuring that every bite bursts with mouthwatering goodness. The coating is an artful combination of crispiness and tenderness, achieved by using a special technique that locks in moisture while creating a perfectly golden crust. The result? A fried chicken experience that is not only crunchy on the outside but juicy and succulent on the inside, making it a crowd favorite.

How About That Catfish?
One of Sylvester’s proud favorites is fried catfish. This Southern delicacy stands apart from local restaurant offerings like haddock or cod. Each fillet is coated in a seasoned cornmeal batter, creating a crave-worthy crunch that perfectly complements the tender, flaky fish inside. The batter is a blend of spices that give a nod to Sylvester’s Southern roots, adding a depth of flavor that elevates this classic dish to extraordinary heights. Served hot and fresh, you’ll experience a wonderful contrast between the crispy exterior and the moist, juicy fish that practically melts in your mouth.
