people sitting at tables in a restaurant
Jeff F.

I stopped here while passing through because they supposedly won some "best burger in NC" award. I don't understand that because I can think of at least a dozen places that have much better burgers. I will say the patties are huge, but they lack seasoning and taste like they are made with low fat meat. The grind is also too fine for burgers. Wasn't a fan of the fries either, they are frozen crinkle fries, which would be ok if they were fried properly and crispy on the exterior, but these were lifeless. The staff here was super friendly and for that they get extra credit!

The food here is incredible!! Catch all the locals here for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Conveniently located next to a small town grocery, parking is easy and simple. The wait staff and owners are friendly and polite. Drop in for a true taste of Americana! The chicken salad is out of this world! Highly recommended!

Monday special of hamburger steak, two sides, and rolls or hush puppies. $6.99

Like home cooking? If your in the area, stop in, you won't be disappointed. Not fancy, but it shouldn't be.

The waitress said she took the job just to learn the chicken salad and cole slaw recipes and she wasn't lying--they were good, good, good.

Beyond amazing! What a hidden gem in Creedmoor. My friend and I were just there for lunch and I…read morecouldn't wait to get home and write this review. Service was great! Our waitress was attentive and professional. Where to start? The salad bar (mixed greens) is about 3' x 5' full of all the basics like cheese, ham, onions, black olives, tomatoes, chopped boiled eggs and many additional bonuses like macaroni salad, chick pea salad, potato salad, pickled cabbage, pickled beets, seafood salad just to name a few. All fresh and definitely homemade. Next time I'll take a picture. I'm so impressed! She ordered shrimp and grits. Creamy lightly cajun grits and tender grilled shrimp. I ordered the gyro with steak fries. Steak fries are very lightly cajun seasoned. Gyro meat was flavorful and moist and pita was perfectly warmed with a slight crisp on the edges. The chef knows how to cook and present dishes. Friends seated behind us ordered the chicken parmigiana. It looked great and they confirmed the flavor was fantastic. Portions are large for the price. I hope they don't portion themselves out of business. This is an absolute must regardless of your location. A pleasant drive from Oxford, Durham, Franklinton, Youngsville, and surrounding areas. We're meeting here for dinner soon and bringing our husbands. Something for everyone on this menu. The ambiance is upscale but casual, very clean with modern decor. Check it out and you will enjoy!!!!

We took our 10 month old and she can be a bit of a mess but they showed us the most love. It was a great experience and we told all of our family in town that they should go visit.
