    There were so few reviews on Yelp so I thought I'd give it a try to see what it was like for myself. The place is really cute. Thera a large mural on the inside wall. The menu is fairly standard but with a few unexpected items (like fried crab claws and smoked tuna dip). I was not so hungry to order appetizers. I ordered the cheeseburger which normally comes with fries but I substituted onion rings (for an up charge). What came out was a HUGE serving of onion rings and a HUGE burger. Most likely 1/3 pound. I didn't care for the bun which was more like a big dinner roll. The onion rings were super tasty although the breading didn't stay on. I might would give the food a four, but for the overall experience I'll round up instead of down. The staff (of maybe one front waitress and one back cook) did an excellent job. I'd go back a try a few different items.

    Dining room at closing.  There should never be an empty seat here.

    The most amazing food in all of Mississippi. I am a foodie and I travel the world. You must try the steak bites and the crabcakes. I live in Maryland and this is the first time I've ever recommended a crabcake outside of Maryland. This is good southern cooked food. Make sure you come off of route 55.

    Philly steak sandwich and fries

    What a hidden gem off Hwy 550 in Brookhaven, MS !! Really cool atmosphere with a large mural on one wall and Edison bulb lighting along the ceiling. Service was super friendly and attentive even during a very busy lunch hour. I ordered the Philly steak sandwich and it did not disappoint!! It is typically hard for me to find a good Philly steak sandwich but this was the best one I've ever had. I will definitely be back and plan to try the steak fries next time. I hear they are delicious!

    We happened to be driving by talking about where to stop for lunch. My wife mentioned seeing it so…read moreI made a u-turn. Upon entering, the food smelled great and the ambiance was inviting! A waitress greeted us immediately, took our drink orders and answered all our questions. The fried shrimp were delicious! I also had fried catfish, hush puppies and mac and cheese, which were all delicious. I took the fried okra which was good, but I actually like mine more crispy. The fried green tomatoes were excellent! My wife also enjoyed à their fried chicken. We were delightfully amused at the tin pic pan for plates and old tin measuring cups for the drinks. Our waitress kept our drinks full. To be honest, we were too full for dessert, but I spied peach cobbler and ice cream. As expected, it was delicious! All of the staff were very friendly and we were happy with our experience. I wished it was closer to home to try the supper buffet!

    This is giant buffet joint with an impressive selection. Unfortunately for me the food was VERY…read morebland and really had little to no seasoning for the most part to my taste. They do serve your drinks in cool metal cups to drink out of which I found enjoyable My dining group was so disappointed in the food they left a pathetic tip which I was appalled at as the servers did provide fantastic service so I went and left a proper tip after my group left. The cost for the buffet was certainly on the expensive side and I could eat exceptionally better food at most of the best restaurants in New Orleans for what my buffet experience here cost. I believe most folks from Louisiana wouldn't enjoy the really bland food here. Overall this is simply just not the best food option for me but it sure seems popular with lots of other people so maybe it will meet your flavor preferences.
