    Lots of food for a working man's price. This is the type of place where you sip on coffee and read a newspaper.

    All American and southern hospitality. It's a cute and quaint little gem. The family have gone a couple of times, we love it.

Tap in below: Our waitress was previously a Nevadan so we felt right at home with her welcoming smile and kindness. We were celebrating my fiancée's birthday and asking for recommendations and she asked her tables for local recommendations.... Nothing says home grown and home cooking like hospitality that's spread from table to table. Simply impressed and just an overall solid experience that changes the way you view hospitality. Plus.... Her recommends to on the zoni was the perfect way to start our day! -Zoni omelette: 5/5 One of my favorite bites of the vacation, one of my favorite omelettes I've ever had... poblano pepper crema neutralizing a savory machaca marinated beef that's savory, flavorful and just very well paired with smoky Monterrey jack cheese and a well crafted egg dish. While sounding heavy, was met with a light with a fresh pico de gallo and a well crafted crispy but fluffy hash brown. The dish is very well crafted by the restaurant and is a must have if you're in the area. I'd put this omelette in my top egg dishes to get. Very pleased! -biscuits and gravy 5/5 -drop biscuit.... That's all that needs to be said. Pockets of crispy, flaky, fluffy, and just delicious bread that's paired with a rich and creamy gravy. Peppery and flavorful while being light and emulsified to the biscuit to give you a traditional taste of a good breakfast classic. Very well executed. (Only available on the weekends) Simple and just an amazing experience. From the service to the food. I'd go out of my way visit this restaurant and you should too!

    Food is usually pretty good. I was embarrassed for my…read moreserver that delivered this greasy mess. Tom Mead needs to check back in on quality control of the kitchen. Eggs Benedict were un-eatable. Quality was missing and so was the server. I hate to leave this poor review, as it's a local favorite. Management is likely to admonish instead of taking real accountability. Eggs Benedict $16.95 w/tt $22.33 Good Friday 03APR26

    The Stubborn Mule has been one of our go to restaurants ever since they opened. I don't know why I…read morehaven't posted a review before, but I have yet to get a bad meal in the years we've gone there. My all- time favorite item is the banana bread pancakes. The pancakes are huge, with mashed bananas in the batter and a heap of candied walnuts on top. It literally CANNOT be any better. I probably have these pancakes 90% of the time I eat here, because I love them so much. I have had a number of their other breakfasts (All American Breakfast, Chicken fried steak, etc.) and they were great. I am just addicted to the Banana Bread Pancakes. My wife has had many of their other items, and she is always very happy with her selections. I just don't believe there is a bad selection on their entire menu. The owners (Gary and Lorraine (sp?) are extremely friendly, as are the rest of their staff. It is always an enjoyable experience eating there. All in all, this is a great place to go for breakfast or lunch. We probably would go there even more often, but sometimes we think about it too late in the day (they are only open until 2pm).

Steak had a nice crispy breading and the balance of breading to meat was perfect. Then the gravy was amazing. So tasty and so much!!!! Then the fries were so crunchy and seasoned perfect with their season salt. The coleslaw was nice a sweet tasting, kind of how KFC used to make their slaw but this was better!!! Washed it all down with freshly brewed sweet tea. This was exactly what I was craving and for sure I will be back to it this exact meal again!!!!

    When I scanned the reviews of potential local restaurants I wanted to visit for breakfast, I was…read moresurprised to find my name already on the Half Way listing. Then....I saw that my review was a decade ago! (That was back when it was a little farther out of town and in a smaller place. So, I came back, anew, to enjoy again. Hands down, this is a friendly establishment with a staff that is welcoming, polite, helpful...and ready to serve you. The interior is open and sports a nostalgic look with large tables accompanied by old (but sturdy) mismatched, carved-high back chairs. Yes, you can sit by yourself, but if it's busy....scoot over and invite a new friend to join you. Most tables seat 6 or 8 -- more "communal" style in a sense. Step up to the counter and order from the solid, albeit mundane, menu: eggs to order, meat side, potatoes, biscuit & toast...gravy if you like. They'll bring it to your table. Nothing fancy. My wife's eggs were scrambled, but not fluffy....rather flat like an unfilled omelet. My over easy eggs were close to perfection and oozed a rich yolk sauce on my deep fried potato cake. Yes, I would have preferred authentic hash browns or "home fries". But this worked for the occasion. Biscuits were buttery and tender. Coffee - average. Sausage patty appeared to be cut from a commercial roll - fried well and tasty. My wife's bacon was absolutely to her liking (hard to get right sometimes). But her's was spot on: very crisp, not burned. Lots of grab and go sandwiches for sale....check out other reviews and photos. Before you leave, pick up a couple of fried pies. (Ten yeara ago I had the peach - yummy. This timr we took home both apple and cherry. Slightly - not overly sweet fillings and a great afternoon treat. Dough was slightly different this visit. (You can see that in my pics...if Yelp still has them available.) As for the "Market" aspect of the name....that is a bit of a mystery - not a lot of market goods were readily visible. Oh!...be careful parking. The unmarked "street side" parking is tight and cars can come barreling down Hill Street. There is apparently more parking on the back side (towards downtown area). All-in-all the vibe was a bit like my Grandma's Country Store (1940-50s) a place where I was born and raised...friendly, comforting, congenial. And, a return for lunch is in order - the menu sounds inviting ... I hope another 10 years doesn't pass before I make it back for that. PS: very clean restrooms available too.

The place is relatively small with stools around 3 main counter areas. There are a few tables in the back, but the fun is at the counter. All of the food is prepared on the grill behind the counters. We sat on stools in the middle section and our server was awesome! The ambiance is great and the decor with records on the wall is very cool. The food here though was fantastic! I ordered the blueberry banana pancakes and my wife had an omelette. The pancakes were loaded with blueberries and were delicious! I really loved the interaction with our server and other customers. There's just such a friendly vibe here. We'll be back to Nashville in a couple of months with friends and we can't wait to take them here!
