It's cash or check only so bring one or the other but there is a ATM in walking distance. We both ordered the pulled pork. My wife had potato salad and baked beans, while I opted for the Mac and cheese and the baked beans. All the sides tasted homemade or at least not straight from a can, The baked beans had a slight green pepper flavor that's very pleasing while my wife said the potato salad was bland and needed seasoning. The Mac and cheese sauce was a little loose need to tighten up. They did sub some mashed potatoes which were buttery and flavorful. Corn bread was a muffin and very airy and had great texture on the outside while soft and wonderful on the inside. Service was great a warm and inviting staff was there to serve.

Well, turns out that sign got hit by a truck a year or so ago and has been replaced. We learned this after juggling our agenda to come here a day later since they were closed on Sunday. The new sign is cool, but not vintage. But I do like me some snappy service. Years ago we went to a restaurant called Brown's Snappy Service. It possibly started some of our infatuation with places like this with cool signs and history posted all over the walls. We had burgers for breakfast at Ferrell's before 10 a.m. Because why not? The tiny cafe has about seven stools, and both staff and patrons were nicely hospitable and enjoyable to visit with. Also, turns out my dad was at nearby Fort Campbell for basic training, and that sparked some nice conversation with him once I shared where we were that night. Too bad more and more places like Ferrell's are disappearing.

I went for the classic diner style, counter and stool seating where I could soak in the fullness of the experience as they prepared my food. I watched as they pulled the pre-portioned balls of hamburger from the refrigerator, smack it on the counter, smash it with the spatula, then slap it on the grill. The burger was classic - fresh, good tasting, hot off the grill, greasy goodness dressed to your preference. The chili cheese fries were not exactly as expected since I could see a warmer labeled "cheese sauce". Instead the freshly cooked, small batch of fries were covered in a layer of American cheese slices, then chili, then sprinkled with shredded cheddar. They tasted good, but the burger was definitely the star of the show. The staff were attentive but not super-friendly. No smiles and no chit-chat...these ladies were all business. I definitely recommend this and look forward to returning in the future.

My wife came out after I had already ordered and told me that there was no soap or paper towels and the bathroom was gross. Since we already paid at the counter we went ahead and got seated, and I was praying that the employees had a different bathroom and the kitchen was clean. I went to the men's room and it was no better. The urinal was taped up with plastic and the toilet was soiled. There was a plunger lying on the floor covered in dried up paper towels that were previously wet. A similar substance was around it on the dirty floor. The food was ok, a cheesesteak with a bunch of stuff in it, but I was just thinking maybe we should've just left or asked for a refund. After a few hours had passed I thanked God that I wasn't suffering from any symptoms. I do not recommend this establishment.
