Very efficient , place your order as u go in and then go take a seat and they bring food and drinks to the table . Food is good and the iced tea is excellent. Place is very clean and pleasant and the waitresses are really nice and friendly. read more

This looks like a favorite local stop, with a meat and three plate. The food was fair, but nothing to brag about. Filling, but not exactly tasteful. It wasn't bad by any means... but definitely room for improvement. I would probably look somewhere else next time, but this will do if it's my only option. read more

We were under the impression that we needed to eat here whenever we arrived in town. Well, I wish we had not stopped. We were not impressed. The sweet potato cassorole was trasty! As was the cucumber salad. The poppy seed chicken was made with "Cream of Something" soup. Not good at all. It was heavy and underwhelming. The cornbread was very dry and there was no butter to help it along. My husband had the creamed corn and he said it was- just 'ok". The volume of food was not necessary as far as I am concerned. It was lunch, not dinner. read more

Home cooking done right! Service is fabulous and so is the food. Every day's menu features a wide selection of fresh veggies, several different meat selections, salad options as well as a daily dessert. If you love southern cornbread dressing, I highly recommend the chicken and dressing if it's on the menu when you visit. Delicious! The pot roast is also very good. The fried chicken breast is also great. I haven't had anything there that wasn't good! Give them a try if you like good folks and good southern food! read more

Must Stop used to be top notch. Absolutely the best fried chicken and a great place for Sunday lunch. They rarely have the chicken anymore and are closed on Sundays, except for one Sunday each month. The staff pays attention to those they know (the regulars) and others are given minimal attention. Food is also not as good as it used to be. Seems they took their success for granted and have really slacked off. read more

While the service, atmosphere and waitstaff is wonderful, welcoming and efficient the food needs a lot of work. At my last visit a few weeks ago I had the Catfish, turnip greens, rutabagas and pineapple casserole and none of it was good. The catfish was dry and overcooked, the turnip greens were too greasy, the rutabagas were ok and the pineapple dish was embarrassing, it was nothing but pineapple and a dab of cheese, no cracker crumbs were on it. I had such high hopes for this place but I don't know if I'll ever go back. There are too many other great restaurants in this town that do southern cooking properly. read more

When I'm in the mood for some great home cooked food they have never let me down, the staff is friendly as well

Had Prime Rib Dinner on Friday night. Very good!! Also had cucumber salad and mashed Potato's. Always nice and clean and service was great.

Dally fresh menu of super tasty home cooking. Do not miss the giant drinks or dessert! Daily and weekly specials at a great price! As far as I could tell, everything was amazing - I didn't have room for the complimentary corn bread. There will be a line to order, so go early or you may miss out on a special. We were visiting the area for work and ate lunch there 5 times in 9 days. It became our instant favorite. That's how good it is. read more

Very enjoyable "home cooking" food. The entrees were exactly as described and didn't disappoint. The staff is friendly and attentive. The pie - Fabulous! read more

We eat here every Monday. Love their meatloaf and cream potatoes Service is always great. Friendly staff and helpful Never had anything bad there read more

Worth going just for the chocolate pie. The food is good. I don't go crazy for meat and threes but that is a personal preference. Everything I have had here has been good. But the chocolate pie goes beyond good - it's delicious! read more

I absolutely love The Must Stop Cafe! Everything about the place says down home country right down to the old black and white photographs adorning the walls. The staff are all smiling, happy and welcoming and give excellent service but the best part is the food! Their cornbread dressing is my favorite dish and the chicken and dumplings is great too. Amazing fried okra, mac & cheese, green fried tomatoes, and other southern staples. Reminds me of Sunday dinner at my grandma's house. read more

This place is great. Delicious southern cooking. I had the fried chicken, greens, and field peas. All excellent. Big portions and good prices. read more

Great eating experience! Had the meatloaf with field peas and squash dressing. All three were excellent-what I would expect if I were eating at my grandmother's on Sunday. Ordered slice of chocolate cake with cooked icing. Again a winner! read more

Never got our food. We waited over 30 minutes and don't plan on coming back. Called them after going somewhere else to eat. The manager apologize and gave us free food. read more

Bryant F is an idiot if he doesn't like the pot roast and his "co-worker" is equally idiotic if they didn't like the poppyseed chicken. Stay home Mr F cuz that will just leave more for us who are regulars at Must Stop. These folks are good people who know how to cook. The food is delicious, freshly prepared and served with a smile. This is why it is packed most days. They appreciate all their patrons and remember us by name. You can't beat this place. Go see for yourself...and tell them Donna sent you. read more

Best meat and three. Friday is Chocolate Pie day. Best I have had in 35 years. Macaroni cheese is real and veggies are very good. I never had a meal and walked out hungry and usually take leftovers home. read more

If you want a meat and three this is the place! Have never had a bad meal here! Packed for lunch almost every day!

This inviting, clean, happening place exceeded my expectations for good ole southern cooking. We drove from Birmingham and it was well worth the trip. Luckily we got there before it opened and got in line, there were so many people that all tables were occupied as soon as it opened. The friendly staff worked like a well-oiled machine to keep everyone happy and served in this busy place. The food (meat and 3) was delicious (pot roast and country fried steak, peas, sweet potato, turnips, green beans). The prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. One notable mention is the Italian cream cake, it was so flavorful, moist and warm that I'm still thinking about it. read more

The place is PACKED with locals; one of few open for Sunday lunch. But I fail to see its attraction lest the desserts. The pot roast is mushy beef of sparse content, rather filled with overcooked potatoes and carrots. A teammate had "Poppy Seed Chicken" which was equally overcooked and shredded chicken mush served over boiled (not steamed) rice, sprinkled with poppy seeds. The desserts are however splendid. There you are. read more

The BEST country cooking you will find in the River Region! Everything is seasoned so well and the friend chicken is second to none!
