The chicken and dumplings in particular were outstanding. My picky daughter who usually doesn't finish her food absolutely inhaled them. Only downsides are limited seating due to a small space, but no complaints otherwise. Just a good old fashioned Southern diner experience. Thanks!

On our first visit I had eggs over easy, liver mush,rye toast,hash browns and ice tea. My wife had eggs over easy, biscuit, gyro meat, hash browns and ice tea. Everything was perfect. Our waitress Kayla explained to me that the liver mush was locally made and it was delicious! My wife said the gyro meat was authentic and I tried some and it was great. This is also the first time in a loooong Time that my hash browns were cooked correctly. Brown and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Kayla (our waitress ) was super nice and we found out that she lives near us! The cook was a pro and even said good bye when we left. I highly recommend Bessie's and look forward to our next meal there!

Chicken salad and open faced pot roast sandwiches hit the spot. Vegetable beef soup wasn't the best but perfectly edible with a dash of salt. Famous Louise's Rock House Linville was wonderful value for lunch. The only complaint is the parking - backing out blindly into traffic sucks. Back in when ya park for a safer escape!

Biscuits are great except they offer no honey which I thought was a staple in country dining. Their tables are set with just a fork in a sanitary bag so you have to ask for a knife and a spoon for coffee. Also butter does not come with your biscuit/toast either. You have to ask for it. Speaking of toast, it's not even toasted. I think it's thrown on the cooktop and barely warmed. It's the little things that should be expected of a restaurant that I have complaints about.

Most of us had beer, but a few of the ladies preferred beverages with vodka. For lunch, my wife selected the Pulled Pork Nachos. It was a very generous portion! While she enjoyed them, she couldn't eat it all. The rest of the ladies opted for the soup of the day. Several of the men (including me) opted for the Flounder platter. It was amazingly good. One gentleman sitting next me had the meatloaf special. It came with mashed potatoes and green beans. He also got hush puppies with his meal. He enjoyed it all! The service was a bit slower on this visit, but it was Saturday, and the place was busy. Be patient and your wait will be rewarded.
