    Potato salad, a hot, grilled steak and cheese sandwich with peanut butter/choc chip pie and iced tea.
    Jan H.

    While visiting relatives in Tupelo I stumbled upon this great little Cafe! Order at the counter and they will call you by name when ready. My steak and cheese sandwich was grilled to perfection and was served piping hot. The potato salad was deliciously seasoned and the dessert was worthy of any Georgia cafe. I was surprised to find such an excellent peanut butter pie outside of Georgia! Do not miss this hidden gem while in Tupelo!

    I order theTurkey cuban with soup.  The turkey cuban is amazing . Turkey, pickles and cheese on pressed bread.  You cannot go wrong.

    I just ordered the turkey cuban with fruit and creamy potato soup. The sandwich is amazing. Turkey, cheese mayo , mustard and pickles all pressed together on bread. You just can't go wrong. The cream potato soup is also very good and hits the spot and a rainy day like today.

    Great local dive that has breakfast and lunch All major cc accepted Great service and chicken salad is about as good as my moms! The coffee shop is located in the back--a few steps away There's also a place to sit and read or to have a small 2-3 ppl meeting There's free parking off Main Street--2 hr max

    After 14:00, you can only order coffee!

    Stopped by for brunch & the moonstruck sandwich + potato soup blew me away! Tried to come back for a second lunch (lol) but saw this sign (posted below) Pretty upset because I wanted another sandwich and soup! Highly recommended for anyone who is in Tupelo :)

    Drove past the place 3 times because of the tree out front, but their coffee made the small annoyance worth it. The staff was very nice, and my raspberry mocha was too perfectly done! I will defiantly be coming back here for lunch very soon.

    Corn and sausage chowder and warm fresh bread.

    Everything about this place is always great. The servers are the best…read more The food is fabulous. White Chocolate Bread Pudding!

    Nice lunch find by the wifey in Tupelo!…read more Food was mostly good, so let's start with that first. I enjoyed my meal and it was an amazing value. It think it was like $15 for meat, two veggies, and a dessert. C got the sphagetti with a side salad, roll, and black eyed peas. She had the shortcake for dessert. I had the pot roast with mashed potatoes & gravy, cream corn, with jalapeño cornbread. My dessert was a bread pudding. I don't do spaghetti so I didn't try C's. My pot roast was really good. I ate it all. Somehow I managed to not get any veggies in it though, that made me sad. Mashed potatoes were instant I would say, gravy too. What can you say about creamed corn? Cornbread was cold but had nice flavor. Bread pudding was fair, way too sugary imo. We ate in the back where all of the wooden patio is. Really cool set up. The stage is amazing. I wonder how often they use it. There is a really cool bar in the middle. This place is cool! The fans came on and created a nice breeze inside. I imagine in 100 degree Tupelo it can get steamy in there! It was a nice fall day on my visit. I must say this, I think this place is strange in the way that it is set up. It has all the possible benefits of a nice buffet, but only to serve a meat and three type experience. It's a giant tease for a guy like me that wants everything he can see. I wanted to sample it all, but no. C says I should not dwell on things that are outside of my control but this place gives me the intrusive thoughts man. I want to grab the food and make a run for it! Why? Why show me all the food but not let me have it?!?!? Keep it on a hot table in the kitchen if you are just gonna tease me like that. I get that it is "cafeteria style", but it lacks the appropriate guards to keep my hands out of it. It also is having to be constantly staffed in two spots. I won't get into how much money I think they are wasting with this type of service set up. You need cooks, servers , food type servers, two different serving lines staffed with more people on each. Oh, ok I will get into it... Another pet peeve is also done here. You have real plates and silverware but you add a layer of disposable to the mix as well. This costs you more money and cheapens the meal in my opinion. I am sure it's for portion control, but they make serving utensils that offer portion control. To add to the visual ratchetness, it's a mixture of white styrofoam, black "patterned" styrofoam, and black polypropylene served on cream colored plates. Now. No one else probably gives a shit about any of that. No one will probably ever read this far anyway. It's all just journals and leaving bread crumbs for future Adam's for me I'd say. I am available for independent restaurant consulting. Large scale, commissary, and mom and pop places too. '25 - 111++++
