We ordered a cheeseburger and fries and the BBQ plate special with bread pudding. The hamburger was made with freshly ground meat on the grill. Very juicy and tasty! Fries were homemade and perfect. Best burger I've had in a while. BBQ was good and pinto beans were excellent. Topped it off with coconut meringue pie. Yum!! Very cute little cafe with friendly waitress and excellent cooks. Wish it were closer to home but if in the area, it's a definite repeat.

Nice "country diner" menu, burgers, CFS, etc. Ordered the CFS w/ mashed potatoes and green beans, and the Hop Queen had the catfish w/ okra. Nice home cooked take on the sides, the green beans and the okra were stand out. Everything came out quick, very filling. Paid up at the front, no tablet with pre loaded tip "suggestions". Like I said, old time. Gotta love a place with Elvis Tribute Show flyers up! Highly recommended!

I got it with mashed potatoes and fried okra. I think the only negative if I had to list one is they charge an extra $2 for simply getting gravy on mashed potatoes or if you got a baked potato there is an extra charge for each individual topping instead of just making it one price. This is definitely a place worth the stop if you're in the area.

Our first visit, 3 months ago, was a whole lot better than yesterday's visit. We stopped in for…read morelunch I had the grilled catfish with green beans and corn on the COB. My wife had the special, Beef stew with Corn Bread. The catfish was very good and tasty both sides were good. The beef stew left a lot to be desired my wife was looking forward to it. Then she started picking out the meat with all the fat and grizzle on it, which ended up being 85% of all the meat in the bowl. we told the waitress about it and she seemed put off about it. She told the cook and the manager. A little while later she brings a small bowl out with " what she said the cook said had lean meat on it." the first three pieces I took off had more grizzle on it. Sorry not cutting it, the manager never came over to the table to say anything or acknowledge the problem. A little concern would have been nice. went to pay the bill and the girl at the register said she could charge me half price for the food. I guess that is the best they can do, so it would seem all they want is your money and not trying to fix the problem. we will never cross this threshold again wishing you the best in the future.

Their walls have pictures of veterans which was really special. I had the hamburger steak, mashed potatoes and broccoli.. oh and you MUST have one of their rolls. Hamburger steak was cooked perfectly, mashed potatoes were real! My husband had the fish and shrimp, fries and coleslaw ( they have 2 options- vinegar base or mayo base) we chose vinegar base. We really like the vinegar base it was different and very good, believe it may have had some bell peppers in it. His shrimp and fish were cooked perfectly. The only regret we had was not getting a dessert.. no room for it after these two wonderful meals.

Great staff pointed us right to a table and quickly got us menus and drinks. We knew with a homecoming spot this, to us, the only choice is chicken fried steak and Hamburger steak with sides. Both were excellent, fresh and house made thru and thru. My side salad was a little disappointing but again this is a spot for southern selections like mashed potatoes, cream corn and hand battered onion rings - all of which we had and loved. The rolls wet a little sweet like Hawaiian rolls which were so good with some butter. We left after grabbing some massive to go teas for the road. Highly recommend if you are hungry!

This place is beautifully decorated and designed. Highly recommended!
