    This is the ultimate, down-home, small town, casual cafe…read more My friend and I had lunch here, and we enjoyed the food and attentive service. I had the daily special of an open faced roast beef sandwich, mashed potatoes with gravy, and coleslaw. My buddy had a hand-patted hamburger. For dessert, he had chocolate pie. I opted for a double cheeseburger! The youngest daughter of the owner waited on us, and she provided excellent service. If in the area, give their homemade burgers a try. The prices are more than reasonable. Bring cash, because they don't accept credit cards.

    Let me start with the good. We were traveling back home to MS. Our food arrived so quickly which…read moremakes getting back on the road nice. The prices are dirt cheap. Not sure how they do it in this economy. The staff was pleasant. Now for why I gave it 3 stars. The food is mediocre. The burger patties on my husbands burger were a good thickness but absolutely a frozen patty. He wouldn't have ordered a double had he known. He took one patty off. None of our food was beyond lukewarm. I had the pork fritter, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans and tossed salad with a cornbread muffin. You can't beat the portion for the price but the temperature and taste were disappointing. The gravy was anemic. Barely brown. Not white gravy but def not brown. Mashed potatoes were prob one of the best things but def needed more warmth. Pork fritter was thin and would have been better with a light flour batter instead of the thicker breadcrumb batter. Green beans were like what Mamaw would make with bacon. Salad was old school and I like that. Corn muffin was cold as a wedge but decent cornbread. Mike asked the server who dropped off our food for more mayo, never saw that or another server until it was time to leave. They were slightly busy. Will we stop again? No. Is it a good place to get a decent amount of food for a great price? Yes. It's an old building but clean inside.

They are unconcerned with the customer, or customer input unless you compliment them. (Don't take my word for it, just visit Facebook). If you want a menu item without mayo, or perhaps no corn or onion, too bad. You either have to lie and say you have an allergy or order something else that you might not want. And why can you not get an item made to your preference? Good question. The answers that have been given range from "We have a small kitchen" to "If we modify everyone's food, the wait times will be an hour". The latter may be true because you'll wait 30 minutes or more anyhow. And what happens if you insist you would like an item made to your liking with only a minimum of modifications? You'll get lambasted on Facebook and told that "maybe restaurant dining isn't for you". As long as they have traffic on Hwy 65 they'll get a lot of one time, last time customers. It appears they've already crapped on the locals pretty hard as the owner is repeatedly begging for business when tourist traffic is slow. These are just my opinions, and I encourage you to draw your own conclusions. I've not just been one time, I've been several times in the last year and have tried to give this place a shot, but I just can't anymore. This has nothing to do with the owner's political beliefs, although she claims that's a reason people don't like her. She's pretty unlikable no matter who she may vote for. That said, you do get a sense of how she might vote just based on the attitude and nastiness. There is a bright spot though. There's a shorter lady server who smiles all the time and is pleasant to deal with. I feel like the others have been warned to secure the happiness.
