We drive 20+ minutes to go there when there is a place 3 minutes away. I always get the rum raisin ice cream. Brings back memories of living in Germany and by far the best rum raisin ice cream wd have had in the US. We try to visit once a week or biweekly - we need to do all we can to support places like Larue's to keep them in our community. These mom and pop places are what makes this area so desireable.

Great place for some southern staples. We were a party of 6 and we couldn't resist ordering fried…read morechicken and catfish. Fried chicken was really tasty with a perfect crunch and juicy chicken. The fried catfish was breaded with cornmeal, perfectly crispy, also well seasoned and very moist and tender inside. The tartar sauce was homemade and very good but they also have a good peppered vinegar. Between us all we had an opportunity to try a lot of sides. Hush puppies which one of our hush puppy lovers said was the best she ever had (I'm not a fan of these overall so I can't really say). The potato salad was very good, creamy, with just a hint of onion and relish. Baked potatoes and sweet potatoes were enjoyed by all. Loved the crispy okra and green beans. Collard greens were also good. Of course, we couldn't leave without trying the pies. Caramel apple walnut was a little too nutty for me but it was still good. They key lime was my personal fave -- the crust was a good crumbly graham cracker that was definitely home made. We also had a lemon meringue and the chocolate coconut cream pie, which was essentially a half and half with chocolate cream and the bottom and coconut cream on the top. Both had beautiful, moist meringues with nicely toasted tops. On top of good food, we had a great waitress who was super attentive and very patient and friendly. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area and looking for some nostalgic, good southern comfort food.

We were welcomed as we walked in the door and able to choose from a variety of tables/booths. They stop serving pancakes and waffles at 11 am, but all other breakfast items are available until 2 pm. The selection was exactly what you would expect from a diner: a few standard breakfast dishes, biscuits and gravy, a few omelette choices and you could build your own omelette. The food was good, the service was excellent and the prices were not over the top. We will most likely be back!
