    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!

    The Biscuit Shack

    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.

    I was visiting Jonesboro on a Saturday and this place was recommended by the woman at the visitor…read morecenter. As it was only a short walk away, I decided to eat local. There seems to be plenty of parking on the street as well as the lot behind the building. It was around noon when I arrived and they were serving their brunch menu. I had the Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit that came with eggs and a side of grits. The biscuit was large, soft, and toasted and the fried chicken on top crisp and seasoned well. It was sweet from the honey. The eggs (I had them scrambled) were fine, but nothing remarkable. The grits were quite spicy for my taste, but I'm a wimp from the Midwest so they were probably great. I enjoyed everything. I would have liked an unsweetened iced tea, but only sweet tea was available. I had a fountain soft drink instead of. The restaurant was light and airy. The furniture was a bit worn and the dishes were plain white plastic but on the whole it was a lovely place. My server was pleasant and attentive.

    Finally, made it to this restaurant. I would be back…read more Parking, plenty. This is rare that a brunch spot has so much parking. There is a huge open parking lot on W. Mill across the street. There is also street parking. Wait to be seated. Best to have a reservation during peak hours. Weekend brunch and evenings I imagine to be busy. QR code menu. NOTE if you go during brunch and you get a cocktail from the menu you won't see the prices for brunch. That is part of the reason for the low rating. Even though the drink menu says the days and hours for those prices, you have to ask for the after those hours. The menu has your typical southern brunch flare with a twist. The drink menu is good. I ordered the impossible burger slider, it doesn't come with anything. Just two sliders. I ordered the potatoes. Even though the sliders were decent. It was a little salty. Presentation was good. Watermelon savage. I also tried the scrambled eggs - way too salty. It was inedible. My brunch partner didn't like the grits or chicken biscuit that it came with. Service was fine. Decor and atmosphere was nice. Overall, it was decent. It seems like a nice place to grab drinks and catch a vibe or be the vibe. Gratuity is included. Overall, decent spot. Oh and there is outdoor seating that includes a stage.

We used to have family in the area, but unfortunately haven't been down here in 5 years as a result of them not being in the area anymore. When we used to stop in, the service was unbeatable. Everyone would treat you like family, and would get you your food fast. Now, since the restaurant is under ***new ownership***, we are not sure if that is still the case. Our server was great (she remembered our family even after 5 years (connected the dots to us)), but the rest of the employees and the community within the restaurant felt a bit stuffy. They used to have the best coffee. It is still good now, but something changed (not quite as good). Their pancakes are unfortunately rubbery, but contrastively, they have great bacon; crisp with a bit of fat, that's how we like it. Their hash browns have not changed one bit. They are still crispy!! Some stuff has changed in the atmosphere of the restaurant. They generally have the same theme, but some of the signs have changed. If you get lucky, you may get to eat your food with Shaquille O'Neal in the restaurant! He lives in the area, and comes in every now and then to get some food and pay for everybody's meal. What a great guy!

The pizza was great, not super doughy and gummy at all, it was really flavorful. Fried pickles were crispy and well seasoned. Definitely recommend! There's upstairs seating as well.

I know because I tried, but I could smell the sauces, the fresh dough. Yes, the aroma of pizza goodness and wing goodness was in the air as I stood there for a second, hoping to get one slice. So the next day, I stopped inside. Of course, the whiff of Italian sauces met me at the door. I ordered right away, and we decided on the calamari, which was very crispy and had so much flavor. The sauce was the extra touch. We added the Classic Pizza for the main course. Now, I like a good not-so-messy pizza as well as a messy one, but this pizza here was a not-so-messy, not too much sauce, the perfect layering of cheese, meat, and veggies. The layering was so perfect that each bite was biting down to three different layers of yumminess. We ordered the crispy wings, too. The wings were dripping in flavor like the rest of our brunch. After brunch, I wanted to see the upstairs. It's a nice area overlooking the downtown. I also like that it's a real pizza place with brick walls, high tables, a bar, and pizza equipment you can see. I'm so happy I waited to dine inside instead of trying to grab a slice on the go. So you dine inside, too. It's really a true authentic pizzeria!
