    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.
