    Clean sitting

    Good food, friendly serviceI enjoy the casual Atmosphere. It's a lot nicer on the inside. So, don't be filled. .

    Out on a random adventure and found this place on yelp. Immediately greeted by a very nice waitress and hit in the face with awesome smells! The place really is a tiny shack, but the smaller the place the better the food. I asked for a suggestion and was recommended the Fashioned Hamburger Steak (while the waitress was telling me someone called in a to-go order for the same thing), took her up on it. Sweet tea to drink, and it was the perfect southern style (often a hit or miss at small places as it goes stale quick - tasted like it was brewed 5 minutes ago). The food was amazing, meat was obviously fresh (not frozen) and gravy made it delicious. Fries were crispy and the coleslaw was undescribable. They also have homemade desserts: coconut, strawberry, and chocolate cake today. No room left but will be back again!

    I was not expecting for it to be a real shack but everyone knows "the hole in the wall" places have the best food! It took me two seconds to figure out what I wanted on the menu. Homemade biscuits like my grandma and country fried ham. I have no idea where to even buy buy county fried ham. I also got the salmon biscuit. The salmon croquette was okay but that biscuit is EVERYTHANG! The biscuits were $2.25 a piece. I do recommend getting more than one biscuit.

    Not Much from the outside but the food and service was stellar.

    This place popped up on my Apple Maps as a good place for breakfast. It wasn't wrong. Although a hole in the wall, the food and service was excellent. The biscuits were perfect, not too fluffy and perfect for anything you wanted inside. I had the sausage biscuit, grits and two eggs. With tea for a drink, the bill was only $7.50. A great deal for the food. The server was very sweet and the food came out quickly. I would say this is a place I'll return to next time in Griffin.

    Food was good but it would be better if it was served warm. Pretty much the entire plate was lukewarm or cold.

It can get a bit crowded, and that said to me that's where I needed to be. I tried a few times and couldn't get inside. But I finally got in, and I see why people like it so much. It's very family friendly, as I had my niece with me. Plus, overall, the waitress was very nice, and the service was fast. Now what a surprise, a special sausage was on the menu. It's hard to find what I call red rose sausages, and cooked with a little burnt, the way I like them. Well, they are here! Of course, I ordered the grits, and there were no lumps. Those are the best kind of grits. We ordered a breakfast sandwich. It's been a while since I had one. We shared that, and it brought back memories. We actually closed down the place. As you can see in the pictures, it got empty. But when you find a great, delicious breakfast with red rose sausages that remind you of home, you'll sit there, enjoying the food and forgetting about the time.

I like to try new restaurants so headed down to Griffin and decided to give this place a shot. It was crowded, but we were able to be seated rather quickly. Our server was attentive and very nice. She did a good job explaining the different items and any specials that they had.. we opted for cheeseburger or breakfast plate, and I swapped out the bacon for fried chicken breast. Also got the lunch plate with mac & cheese and fried okra.. the fried chicken breast was absolutely delicious and so was the okra. I wasn't a huge fan of the pancake, but I got the plain one.

But it wasn't a problem because the two girls checking us in were fast. They explained that it's three different buffets. This is where I get a little confused. So, you have the Seafood Buffet, the Country Cookin, and one more. Now we chose the Country Cookin, and it was beyond good. I went back for the beef tips and rice twice. The fried chicken was the crispiest I've ever had. The baked chicken was falling from the bones, and I had that with creamed corn and collard greens. Not many people can cook collard greens or creamed corn. I was very impressed. After my first two plates, I started to sample because I wanted to try all the food, and because each item had its own flavor and the way it was supposed to be cooked. I think this lady and I were about to rumble over the hushpuppies. We were both trying to figure out how they were made. I also had a big bowl of green beans, and I was elated to know these were cooked the old-fashioned way. I'm not a big fan of Blackberry Cobbler. But since everything I tried was good, I thought I should try the cobbler, and ten out of ten, it was the best. In overall this is really a good buffet.
