Meatloaf
Ford M.

Rating: 4.5 Everything you want in a locally owned country-style restaurant: great food, large portions, friendly staff. Second time here and it did not disappoint. Brought a friend and she loved it. Had hamburger steak both times (very good). Catfish (excellent--large portion--don't get two pieces unless you're really hungry). Meatloaf (very good). Slaw was some of the best out 90 year old guest has ever had. Green beans and squash with onions was memorable. Collards were a little on the vinegar side four our tastes but feel like most will enjoy. Cornbread is solid. Mashed potatoes met expectations. Country friend steak to go was "real country cooking and among the best" our guest has had. Southern Fried Chicken sandwich to go was very good according to our other guest. Pros: large dining room, great food, big portions, friendly staff, locally owned, menu variety, daily specials updated on Facebook page, quick service for dine in. Cons: off the beaten path, parking lot not paved, handicapped access but ramp/stairs are steep (be careful on both), ambiance (plastic tables), slower service (take out). No real butter for cornbread or potatoes (liquid goop--barely passable). In short, this is a short drive from Valley, Auburn, and Opelika and it's 100% worth it. Daily specials are priced right and the chicken tenders look like they are 1/2 to a whole breast each. Highly recommended.

As good as Soul Food can be. We use to stop here about 6 times a year when traveling through now it…read moreis about once a year...and oh, how we miss it. We ordered two Meat & 2's and both consisted of A Big Fat Fried Chicken Breast, Black-Eyed Peas and Mac n Cheese. As always the chicken was cooked perfectly. Crispy on the outside with that perfect fried chicken skin and totally moist meat. The mac n cheese was very moist, not really runny and the texture was the perfect chew. No mushiness and no hard noodles. The black-eyed peas were out of this world good. They had a bit of spice in them and cooked good ole' Southern Style...cooked! We ate and ate until there was not more room. We gladly took our left overs for another wonderful meal. As we were leaving I said, oh, no "I forgot to take pictures. So I went and broke in line and took a couple of the cafeteria style food that everyone was so patiently waiting to be served. The staff works extremely hard. The restaurant is very clean. And the food is absolutely delicious. They do take togo orders and sometimes the line is out the door. They are closed on Saturdays. Highly recommend one try if in the area. Prices have remained relatively low while other places have increased their prices drastically. Our two meals which included drinks and tax was about $21. You can still buy a whole fried wing for under $2...it is $1.95.

We placed a takeout order for 15. It was ready right when we arrived, was brought to the truck and…read moremy guys thoroughly enjoyed their meats and 3s. The jerk chicken and catfish on Friday were the stars of the night. Would recommend and will definitely return on my next trip to anywhere around the Auburn area.

This was my first time in Auburn and I did some research on places to try. This place was highly…read morerated and after visiting I totally agree. I started with the roasted baby bunch carrots. I did not expect to love this that much because the main ingredient is carrots. But they were so soft and coated in this sauce that made them taste delicious. For my main meal I ordered off the Specials menu and got the Pan Seared Halibut. I loved the presentation of this plate. The taste did not disappoint. The fish was cooked perfectly! My server John was super cool. He helped me with the menu and made great conversation. He was very attentive the entire time. Last note, the atmosphere was so cool! The interior of the restaurant looked very nice. This would be a great date spot!

Gorgeous place! The staff is incredible…read more We all loved our meals. They use fresh farm to table ingredients and you can really taste it. We had the oysters... yum. Fried green tomatoes- wasn't the biggest fan of pimento cheese, but if that's your thing I'm sure it would have been delicious. I had the strawberry / spinach salad. It was decent but a little too much dressing on parts and a bit dry in others. The biscuits were a star of the other meal. Sadly, no lattes... the only other bummer was that the waiter forgot my cocktail. He apologized when I asked for it... I know accidents happen
