On 11/11/2025 Ron C had this to say:
We had a great light dinner with the Monday Special (2 of them - one each) - a Pulled pork sandwich, waffle fries, cornbread and tall pop for $10 (not including the Military Discount which is very helpful) Everything was great as usual at Cindy Lou's! The sauces are homemade and there are 3 varieties: original, sweet and hot. There are all great. The backwoods, relaxed style atmosphere is enjoyable to check out while you enjoy your meal. Thanks Cindy Lou's.
