Instead, we got a salted caramel cookie, a snickerdoodle cookie and a salted chocolate chip cookie, along with a lavender and strawberry scone and a blueberry lemon scone. Sweet tooth much ?!? The service is fast and friendly and the atmosphere is soothing with light jazz playing and soft lighting throughout. The upstairs veranda is HUGE and welcoming as is the ENORMOUS interior space is separated into little nooks where large groups and small could meet. There's a TV area, and books, books, books, books, books, so many books.! in fact, they even have a community puzzle area and an adult and children's book bingo for the summer to encourage reading. I love this place.

Nice lunch find by the wifey in Tupelo!…read more Food was mostly good, so let's start with that first. I enjoyed my meal and it was an amazing value. It think it was like $15 for meat, two veggies, and a dessert. C got the sphagetti with a side salad, roll, and black eyed peas. She had the shortcake for dessert. I had the pot roast with mashed potatoes & gravy, cream corn, with jalapeño cornbread. My dessert was a bread pudding. I don't do spaghetti so I didn't try C's. My pot roast was really good. I ate it all. Somehow I managed to not get any veggies in it though, that made me sad. Mashed potatoes were instant I would say, gravy too. What can you say about creamed corn? Cornbread was cold but had nice flavor. Bread pudding was fair, way too sugary imo. We ate in the back where all of the wooden patio is. Really cool set up. The stage is amazing. I wonder how often they use it. There is a really cool bar in the middle. This place is cool! The fans came on and created a nice breeze inside. I imagine in 100 degree Tupelo it can get steamy in there! It was a nice fall day on my visit. I must say this, I think this place is strange in the way that it is set up. It has all the possible benefits of a nice buffet, but only to serve a meat and three type experience. It's a giant tease for a guy like me that wants everything he can see. I wanted to sample it all, but no. C says I should not dwell on things that are outside of my control but this place gives me the intrusive thoughts man. I want to grab the food and make a run for it! Why? Why show me all the food but not let me have it?!?!? Keep it on a hot table in the kitchen if you are just gonna tease me like that. I get that it is "cafeteria style", but it lacks the appropriate guards to keep my hands out of it. It also is having to be constantly staffed in two spots. I won't get into how much money I think they are wasting with this type of service set up. You need cooks, servers , food type servers, two different serving lines staffed with more people on each. Oh, ok I will get into it... Another pet peeve is also done here. You have real plates and silverware but you add a layer of disposable to the mix as well. This costs you more money and cheapens the meal in my opinion. I am sure it's for portion control, but they make serving utensils that offer portion control. To add to the visual ratchetness, it's a mixture of white styrofoam, black "patterned" styrofoam, and black polypropylene served on cream colored plates. Now. No one else probably gives a shit about any of that. No one will probably ever read this far anyway. It's all just journals and leaving bread crumbs for future Adam's for me I'd say. I am available for independent restaurant consulting. Large scale, commissary, and mom and pop places too. '25 - 111++++

To note, customer service is always great, but when it comes to warm items, I feel every customer should have "fresh" and "fully cooked" items. To my surprise, when I made it to my destination this is what I found; an undercooked "doughy" pretzel. I immediately tossed. Great American cookie, going forth, please check items to be sure they're fully cooked.
