This one looked like it fit the script but man I was wrong when I walked in. Everyone was super nice and kind but the food was awful and presentation was non existent. My food was bland, no flavor, the biscuits and gravy tasted like nothing but flour and had no seasonings. This is something my Wonderbread white great great grandmother would have made. my white toast was burnt on the bottom which I don't know how you couldn't see that and actually think " hmmm this big girl will eat this no matter what" it baffles me on what runs through peoples heads when it comes to this type of quality of food. unfortunately, I wouldn't even give this to my dog. That's how terrible this food was. The coffee was weaker than my left knee on a rainy day. I apologize for the blunt delivery, but these reviews have got to be written by family members or friends because there's just no way the hype is that real on food that is being served on paper plates with plastic cutlery and blend as ever.

LUVED her. They had a large wedding party the night before and they were out of a lot of drinks and some food items however the way she presented it to us, was again hilarious so we truly didn't even mind.

It could very well fit in at theme parks, like Universal Studios. It's Clean, spacious, lighting on the dimmer side. It's a fantastic date night spot. We were blessed to have Diamond tending to us, and she was outstanding! Customer Service doesn't get any better than what she gave. I imagine she'd be just as great if the place were absolutely slammed. Our food was pretty basic. We got spicy fried wings as an appetizer. They were pretty good. The chicken fettuccine Alfredo had small bits of white meat chicken, and not a lot of it. We also had a 14oz Ribeye, collards, & mashed potatoes. All the food was ok. Not good enough to rave about, not bad enough to complain about. Just basic . I'm glad I finally checked it out though. The overall experience was worth the visit.

Some of the individuals behind the counter - I wasn't sure if they worked there or not - there use to be pride in going to work but not here - their appearance went right along with how the place looked overall - not good ( clothes did not look like they had been washed in several days), hoodies and jackets etc. The entire time we were there the dishes were not moved to the wash area and prep areas had not been cleaned ( some type of red substance all over them) but continued to be used - same knife to cut food was also used to cut open cheese package and cut toast. The food was saturated with melted butter the grits had no salt and about 3 tablespoons of butter on them (seriously - it never all melted there was so much) then there was the mystery chunks from the grill on my plate.... with every bit I just kept thinking "please Lord don't let us get sick" -I the think the server sensed something was wrong because she kept asking if we were okay and was the food okay.... needless to say - we will not be going back any time soon if ever. We were here in the evening about 6pm. It escapes me how individuals, managers and owners do not understand how the appearance of the employees and business itself go hand in hand with overall sustainability of a business.
