    Southern food and Southern hospitality in downtown Adairsville! This is the "Cheers" of restaurants! The servers make you feel like family that is home for the holidays or a friend invited for dinner. Check out the menus posted and just know that whatever you order is going to be great! The decor is mismatched (just like my granny's kitchen/dining room and it is the best feeling ever. Seriously! If you are going through Adairsville, don't waste your time at what's offered off I-75, Google Pinkard's and enjoy. Warning: not for snobby Yankees, Yuppies, or that kind of folks!

    Grab any seat at the counter!

    Only a couple of miles off the interstate and worth the drive. Local diner. Very friendly staff. Food was delicious. I had the Salsberry steak with gravy, mashed potatoes, and fried squash. Of course I had to add some corn bread as well. Make sure to say hi to Jim and James!

    Menu also have a board of daily specials

    This place is very new and off to a good start! They have a small menu and limited hours but what they are service my up is pretty darn good. With an assortment of hamburger and hot dogs for lunch we went with one of the daily specials. The pulled pork is very good not very Smokey so not sure how it was prepared but it has a light mustard base in the meat which is pretty good. Very flavorful and there regular bbq sauce is good not hot at all. The fries are typical and the Brunswick stew is very good with a little heat. Try it out the owner is super nice and the place is a great quick place to grab lunch

    It seems to be a local stop, which says a lot. This was small and packed but it gives you the hometown feel. The food was amazing. I tried the buffalo chicken soup and grilled cheese (it was on the "todays Special's"). Great place to stop for a quick eat and the atmosphere is appealing!

I sat inside where there was table, bar, and highboy seating. I ordered the Smoked & Fried Wings buffalo, with upcharge for flats/drums and an extra sauce (one Ranch and one Bleu Cheese). And the Shorty Johnson, which is a pair of deep fried back-wrapped beef dogs with a side of fries. The wings were scrawny without much meat. But the flavors were great and the smokiness came through. And the buffalo seasoning was nice and the flats were tender. The Blue cheese dipping sauce was chunky and had a good flavor. The Ranch dipping sauce was boring and did not have the punchy flavor of a hand made dressing. The carrot and celery were adequate. The hot dog was properly cooked and drained and the bacon wrapping had a good texture. But there was no bacon flavor, although the flavor of the dog itself was good. The bun was dry and flavorless. The side of fries were cooked perfectly and nicely seasoned and a good portion. Service was barely adequate. They delivered the wings but did not provide any napkins and I had to wait for them to pass by and get their attention to request them. My drink refill was also a bit slow in coming.

    We looked forward to going and sitting outside in the courtyard with the pretty outside lights, but…read morethey rented a jumpy house for kids, so families with a lot of kids were there running around, squealing and jumping, so we had to eat inside. That wasn't much better because it's an old house that's been turned into a restaurant, so it had an awful musty smell. I ordered blackened Grouper, but it was not blackened, only grilled, and it tasted like a frozen fillet. My husband ordered prime rib and it was maybe a step above a Waffle House steak. None of it was worth $100 for dinner. It seems like this restaurant is mostly finger foods, comparable to Applebee's or Chili's, that is frozen and microwaved. The server was also very slow, and was absent for long periods of time between our requests and/or checking on us. I do not recommend, and won't be returning.

Bar looks very cozy and has a GREAT selection of bourbon. I wasn't drinking today, so I don't know what those prices are. There is an outdoor area that was not in use today but look very nice. Food was excellent and fairly priced. Everything we had was greatly enjoyed. Service was relatively quick, but here was the slight downfall. When our desert was brought to the table, our utensils had been cleared and none were brought. We asked for spoons, which did not show up until we asked a second time. Excepting this relatively minor issue, everything was exceptional. Will return when in the area.

    Y'all ever heard of that song by Billy Currington called Good Directions? Well this is that exact…read moresame kind of little small town restaurant atmosphere like in that song. You walk into the front door like you're walking into your family's home on Thanksgiving, such a good feeling of warmth and love and togetherness. Excited yet? I haven't even talked about the food so far! Whether you're looking for a great salad, a huge and tasty sandwich, a hotdog (or DOUBLE HOT DOG) with everything like chili, cheese, onions, slaw...or maybe you're feeling like a BBQ slider? How about a chicken bacon ranch wrap? Maybe some coconut cake made fresh in the kitchen, or carrot cake? Well you found the perfect spot! Everything here is delicious and portioned for big eaters like me and my buddies. Heck even the potato salad was good, and lookee here, I'm a mustard potato salad guy and even though it didn't have mustard I still liked it! There's a great little table area off to the side, and a little antique store in the other. This place is cleaner than my barracks in the Marines, you could eat off the floor. As for the proprietors, there are none better than the ladies at this place. Caron, Cynthia, Cathy and Mama Jean are absolute dolls! The most warm and friendly (and funny) ladies you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting! Easy to find even without good directions! Location is perfect right off 41 south of Adairsville, ya can't miss it there's a dang rocket ship in the parking lot! Y'all get on over there and gitcha some good chow, and don't forget to say hello to Mama Jean and the 3 C Notes (love you ladies!) ...and don't forget to get yer sweet tea!
