Let me start out by saying the food is WORTH the wait. It is cooked from scratch so anyone that…read moreknows how to cook knows how special that is. I ordered the breakfast combo. Delicious! Came on Saturday during brunch time and it was slow. I think the restaurant is relatively new so they are still learning business world. Hostesses are very young but were pleasant. Restaurant was clean. Food portion sizes are spot on. Prices are very reasonable! Only thing I would request is salt/pepper shakers on the tables. I plan to come back with my teen son/daughter and husband.

Would give zero if I could. We came in with a large party at noon but the place was empty. The…read moreservice was slow and we all ordered relatively the same thing. The restrooms are dirty, kitchens looked it too in passing, and it seems like only 2-3 people are on staff at a time. We sat there for forty minutes and still nothing. They brought our drinks to us one at a time. Ended up walking out and paying for the drinks alone (water was a charge too), and the staff was very rude upon us deciding to leave and cancel.

I'd recommend having all the fixings - then - adding on their magic gravy. The lightly toasted French bread could not have been tastier. Maybe the best I've ever had. Light and airy. You only need a half sandwich. Their fries were homemade and flavorful. Again, I recommend gravy on the fries.. their green beans also very good. Service was warm and hospitable. Can't wait to return.

Large menu on the wall greets you.. staff were friendly and helpful. They take orders as you enter, give you a receipt and you're free to sit where you like. We ordered a large grilled shrimp salad and a Coney dog. Both came fairly quickly. Our orders were the large number on the top of our receipt, therefore so not throw away your receipt. My warm salad was actually really good. I was expecting cool grilled shrimp but it seems they grill when ordered. Very generous with shrimp. Yum The Coney dog was delicious, warm, saucy and very satisfying.

It was fairly busy but the food came out pretty quick. I got PawPaws breakfast (eggs, bacon, potatoes and a biscuit) . The biscuit and potatoes were the best part. Honestly delicious. The eggs were a little wet for my liking. They have 4 pieces of bacon which I appreciate. Overall , a decent breakfast

I ordered a Fried Shrimp Po Boy with fries, my wife ordered the Catfish Platter with fried okra and crinkle cut fries. Our server was very pleasant, and attentive, but not bugging us. She was patient with us since it was our first visit. Our food was cooked to order and the plates looked very delicious and filling. I was surprised to see a bowl of gravy coming to the table. I dipped a few fries in the gravy and was blown away by the unexpected flavor. We declined desserts, but their sweet offerings of Fried Apple and Peach Pies, milkshakes, and hand dipped ice cream was tough to pass up. We're coming back for the Chargrilled Burgers. A BIGGG PLUS, When We Arrived At Our Car, Our Server Ran Out As If Something Was Wrong. She handed us our santizizer that we left on the table. I can't tell you how many bottles we've left and no one returned them to us. Impressive, Most Impressive!!!
