This place is always busy, mostly with take-out orders and when they are out of food, they simply close. It's best to order ahead, especially if you want something on a a Sunday!

We stopped by on a whim based on a Facebook post. It's a very small older dusty building with limited seating and no restroom. They do not take cards. You have to pay cash or Zelle. They will sell out and close without notice. But we lucked out. We didn't know that most people call ahead and preferably a day or two ahead. We did have to wait about 45 minutes for our food. We were glad they hadn't already sold out. But it was quite the foodventure. Based on the aforementioned Facebook post, I ordered the Mr Big loaded baked potato. It has ham and brisket, cheese, sour cream, and bbq sauce. It came in an open faced to go container because there was no way it was closing. I had to dig down through several inches of meat just to reach the actual potato. I had to give some to my husband just to be able to close it to take home. Then I had to ask for a piece of tape. Well worth the price. My husband got the strawberry lemonade. Too sweet for me. He liked it. But it is served in a large mason jar which you get to keep. It had real strawberries in it. She even came and refilled it when it was about half gone. He got the mix plate. You can choose one or two or three meats. He got brisket and hot links. Large portions of meat. You don't get to choose the sides. You get potato salad and baked beans. He was very pleased with the amount of food. If you come expecting too much as far as atmosphere you might be disappointed. But if you want great food and a lot of it then call them up and bring your cash.

We came on the 24th last minute and it was well worth the hour drive. Her hospitality, kindness, and attention to detail truly made the night special, and we really appreciate everything she did to make sure we had a great time. I also want to recognize the kitchen manager. After I complimented the food, he took the time to come out and personally acknowledge the compliment. His kindness and genuine appreciation really stood out to me. It's not every day you see managers who take the time to connect with their guests like that. Both of these employees are a true reflection of what great customer service should look like. Thank you for making my wife's birthday one to remember! We'll definitely be back!

Not only are they fluffy, they are also HUGE! I have never been able to finish 2 of them in one sitting. Hands down best pancakes on Earth! So large that I am not hungry again until dinner. The staff is very attentive and always on point and delivers service with a smile. The building is old but always clean and reminds me of a dive bar. If you want a great breakfast try the 2-2-2 (The 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 pancakes). If you want a great dining experience at a good price, This is the place! If fact, I am on my way there now!

His grits he said tasted like from a mix. Like you buy in the grocery store. His biscuits were very dense and the gravy again tasted like a mix, very bland and pasty tasting.

We had another server walk by with her hands full of dirty plates but she stopped smiled and asked if we needed anything. Save yourself!

Normally we don't visit establishments with under 4 stars but the pictures seemed to speak for themselves! I could not be happier that we gave this little local place a chance. We arrived right at 10:00 am, after the breakfast crowd but it was still pretty busy. Immediately upon walking in the door, we were greeted with a smile and directed to a little corner table. Our server came right over and got our drink order. When she returned with the drinks we placed our order and I went to wash my hands. When I came back, the order was already on the table!! I had the two egg breakfast with extra crispy bacon and they were both cooked to perfection! I also opted to upgrade the two pancakes to strawberry pancakes. I should have gotten a picture! Covered in strawberries and cream, the obviously from scratch pancakes were to die for!! But let me back up and talk about the eggs. Most restaurants these days use med eggs...on a good day. These eggs were SO big! Hubby ordered his over easy. They had to be jumbo eggs! They were so incredibly yummy! Oh but let's not forget the tea! We often drink unsweet tea when we are out and it's rather astonishing how few places actually have really great tea. This place however, just amazing!! We opted to have a cup to go also! But just as important as the food, or maybe more so, is the service. Hands down the best service we have experienced in a very long time!! If you're on the fence about this place, I urge you to give it a try. I promise you'll be happy that you did!! Oh and don't forget to pick up a cross on your way out!
