Fast friendly service (ask for our server Sierra), perfectly cooked food in generous portions, three kinds of homemade hot sauces, and ridiculous prices ($8.99 for the senior chicken fried steak platter, and $10.99 for a fried half chicken platter, both seen here). They nailed the fried okra, which is your first indicator that somebody in the kitchen knows exactly what they're doing. Everything on the tables around us looked equally mouthwatering. We got there 11:30-ish; there was a SRO waiting line by 11:45. Clearly, this place is new to me, but not to many others. Five stars; worth going out of your way for including if you are traveling on old Route 66 (I-44). "Party room available" #PartyLikeItsFriedChickenTime

My family is huge fan of their sausage; it's always cooked well, and they find ways to offer it up differently (see picture of sausage croissant). Their sweet tea is wonderful because it isn't heavy sweet too.

This is not the restaurant it was or in the same place. My friends and I had eaten here a couple…read moreyears ago riding to Tennessee. It was a great restaurant and we decided to meet here once again. From the highway, the restaurant looked closed, with no cars in the parking lot. We soon discovered that it had moved to an old storefront location down town. The building was old, but clean. The one restroom was also a bathroom with tub and shower. We were immediately seated, served coffee, and drinks and placed our order. Several of us had omelettes with biscuits and gravy. We were served coffee and our cups were diligently kept full as we waited for our food and waited and waited and waited and waited. Finally food begin to appear one order at a time for my friends to complete their food before the next order would appear. The orders we're also served lukewarm. One friend had the Philly cheesesteak omelette. It's cheese, two slices of processed white cheese lazily placed on the top. The omelette was not hot enough to even melt the cheese. But at least one friend had ordered the vegetable and cheese omelette, which was served without cheese likewise had ordered the vegetable cheese omelette, requesting egg whites. The waitress kind of looked at me funny when I ordered egg whites. I asked if they had egg whites. She assured me that they did. But I got was a pile of egg whites, not resembling an omelette with a scoop of oily sautéed vegetables placed on top and no cheese. In fairness, the waitress did offered to bring me a slice of cheese however, I knew as cold as the omelette was there was no way it would melt and who wants cold cheese and cold eggs? In all it took over an hour for six of us to be served lukewarm food, and messed up orders. We were all very disappointed and will not be stopping here again. What was really a great restaurant when it was in its old facility clearly demonstrated its quality of food. It is no longer there keep going. You're not that far from Springfield if you're headed west and there's gotta be better , if you're headed east
