    Two chops
    Boon C.

    Decent restaurant in the downtown of Bonifay. It has the selection of American or southern food. This is the most popular restaurant for lunch time since many nearby residents came to enjoy their meal here. Restaurant is open space seating. I got my pork chop for under $10. It come with two chop and a side. The side is fried okra and the waitress was nice for her substitute from french fries. I have ask for the pork chop for crispy and overcook a little to make a bit burn end. The got the order correctly. The fried okra is a bit too crispy. I think this one is over cook. Overall the service is good. Bathroom need to be cleaner.

    Weary from 12 hours on the road, we actually arrived at closing time! We didn't know as the hours were not posted on the door and there was quite a crowd in there. However, 2 minutes after we chose a seat I saw the open sign go off. The staff never once mentioned that they were closed or rushed us or any of the other patrons in any way. This review has to put focus on that aspect to some degree because you just don't see that very often. There was some serious southern hospitality at play here and I noticed many of the patrons were treated like family. Our primary server had a great sense of humor and was very engaged. The other young woman who checked on us was very polite and friendly. The gentleman who rang us out at the register was very kind. Our drinks remained full, our food came out quickly and we were given suggestions. In the 35 minutes we were there, everything I saw in atmosphere and service was an A+! They also had the best sweet tea, I could drink that stuff by the gallon, so good! As far as food goes, I would describe this as country cooking and comfort food and say it was average or a little higher. Average doesn't have to mean something bad, just that it meets the expectation of a type of food, but wasn't outstanding. My husband got a cheeseburger and I got the hamburger steak. We both got fries and they were awesomely crispy, but under seasoned. My husband enjoyed his burger and finished all of it. I had chosen the hamburger steak because I didn't think I had the appetite for a big ribeye. Well, this thing was huge! Overall, it was pretty flavorful, but some of it was way too salty. Some of that should have been held back for the fries. It normally comes with gravy and onions which I got on the side. I found the gravy to look really unappetizing so I didn't eat it, but I also didn't think the hamburger steak needed it. I really enjoyed my salad because their homemade ranch is outstandingly creamy and tasty, yum! Get ranch here whenever you can! Also, this was a ton of food for $9.99 so you can't argue with the price or the portions. It was a solid visit, we left nourished and rejuvenated and it was the highlight of our stay in Bonifay. If we ever come through again, I'll stop by.

    Never noticed this little hidden gem of a restaurant. Food was excellent and served really quick. Meat, three sides, drink, and dessert all for only $9.95! Wow is all I can say!

    Chicken strips

    Went into this restaurant because the kids were hungry and we are traveling From California and this was close to the gas station. Ordered 2 hamburgers and chicken strips. I'm not much of a hamburger person but I was in a hurry. Omg that hamburger was so good, it's not one of those frozen patties, it was home made. The kids also really liked the chicken. My picky 8 year old looked at it and said it looked yummy and ate most of it. They did well with it they also accommodate my dairy allergy. I appreciate them.

    Gross good and mediocre service. Save yourself the time and hit a drive through or gas station instead.

    Service was slow and food was lame. Not really worth the sit down and wait of a restaurant style meal.

    Slow service. Horrible steaks. I hear their lunch special is good, but, forget dinner, it was terrible.

    Love this place. Great service. Great food. We love visiting Bainbridge and shopping afterread more

    As someone who has been reviewing for Yelp for a long time, this has to be the absolute worst…read moredining experience I've ever had. I mean that very seriously. On Saturday, 2/28, I came into the restaurant at 6:15pm with a group of 6. Looking around the restaurant, there were only 3 tables taken. The Hostess wanted to put us a table, but it wouldn't fit us all. We asked her where to sit and she told us to decide on seating. We had to suggest to put a table together and started to move it ourselves, then she helped. Just odd because we had no idea if they had a table to seat us. While waiting for the server, the table in front of us asked for to-go boxes and was told they only have the bottoms, no lids. She brought plastic wrap to cover their leftovers. They were not happy and left without a lot of their leftovers. Our service came out and was very sweet. She honestly was the nicest person at that restaurant and she deserves to go somewhere that she can make better money. She told us they only had beer and wine, but only a few on the wine list. Sometimes if it was asked for, they said they didn't have it. I stuck to a Coke. We ordered as follows: Me: Loaded Baked Potato (yes that's it.) Person 2: wedge salad Person 3: cornbread skillet Person 4 and 5 had burgers. One had cheddar cheese with everything on it. The other had everything BUT pickles. We waited about an hour for our food. Person 5's burger came out and the fries were cold. I'm not meaning lukewarm, I mean COLD. Like out a fridge. They hadn't even been cooked all the way. Person 4's burger came out without cheese. Both of those were sent back to get that fixed. Person 4's burger came back with a piece of half melted (what looked like) American cheese on the bottom of the burger and the burger was BURNT. I mean, hockey puck burnt. When the fries were sent back, we could hear the cook SCREAMING AND THROWING THINGS, yelling that we "weren't right" and he "had just took those up". The server even felt them and agreed with us. My baked potato came out hard. I couldn't really even eat it. It was hard, bland and it was covered in sour cream, even the outside. A runner came over to bring some salt and pepper and I asked her if she wouldn't mind letting us talk to a manager. Everyone there said I was polite in asking, as we just wanted to tell her what was going on, not trying to get anything free. When I asked, she threw her hands up in the air, slapped her hips, rolled her eyes and stomped away. The people around us even looked at her. They also could hear the cook yelling. We did see another couple send their food back as well while we were waiting. The manager comes over and when we tell her everything, she tells us she agrees and that she's working on getting better help, as we could see what she was working with there. We just asked her for the check and asked to go. We hear the manager try to talk to the team and the cook begins to scream and talk down to her. Then, he came out and stared at our table. If looks could kill, we would all be dead. The thing is- burgers there are $18. We didn't get anything hard to make but only the salad and the cornbread were fit to eat. They did comp our meal, but we continued to ask them to let us pay. Instead, we ended up giving the money to the server. She can only do what she can and she was so sweet. I do have multiple people who will attest to everything that happened. That was the whole experience. We walked outside and immediately went to get something else to eat. We came to the American because this was our first time in town and we had heard great things about it! Of course, we had seen it on TV as well, so we were very excited. The next night, another couple we knew went there and had the same experience. She was the only table in there and they still took over an hour and her food was terrible. This is absolutely so disappointing. The American used to be THE destination down here but now, it's the one everyone is telling people NOT to go to. We talked to our hotel host and they said they wished we would have asked because they would have told us to stay away. It's a shame. I really hope they can get some new people in there who care about food and making it good! I'd love to come back if they're able to improve and change my review. I do have 5 other people who are willing to attest to this, so as much as I wish it was an exaggeration, it's not.
