Since I was headed toward McGregor, I decided to stop and wouldn't you know it, they were running a special on chicken fried steak. It got me "hooked on phonics" right away. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with big smiles and a warm welcome. Super friendly staff all around. I didn't waste any time...ordered my chicken fried steak as soon as my waitress, Paisley, came by (I wasn't playin' lol). Service was quick, food came out hot, and it did not disappoint. Paisley also recommended the broccoli and rice casserole, which ended up being the perfect side. Overall, the food hit the spot...I was starvin' like Marvin, lol . If you're ever in town or just passing through, this is a cute little place worth stopping at. I'll definitely be back!

The service was good and the food had a nice southern flare. I had the bacon cheeseburger and added avocado. All the ingredients were super fresh and it really hit the spot. As my side I paid extra to have loaded fries. In my opinion the burger was the highlight of the meal. My wife had the loaded baked potato. Their ranch dressing was very tasty with the potato. Not a destination restaurant but in my opinion it was the one and only restaurant within a 10 minute drive.

We bought two meat plates and the BBQ potato. The potato was by far the best meal of the day. Nailed it. Portion sizes were great overall! The meat plate BBQ was alright. The issue we had was with the sides. I had mac and cheese and the potato salad. I will say, everything felt and tasted homemade. However, I feel like the chef is trying a little too hard to get authentic flavors. Let the BBQ be the star and give us some old-fashioned mustard potato salad and normal mac. Both of my sides tasted strange. They had a weird aftertaste, kind of sour or old, not sure. I never throw out food, but I didn't take the leftovers with me. My last critique is the actual BBQ sauce. It also tasted original and homemade but seemed to be trying too hard to be different. It almost felt like a tangy, sweet salsa or puree. Keep it simple, or perhaps offer choices between a general sweet traditional BBQ sauce and your homemade version. Giving it 4 stars until we visit and try again.

I ordered the three meat combo and the jalapeño cheese sausage was phenomenal. Bad Next: The brisket was mostly dry and not flavorful compared to other bbq places around. The pulled pork was fatty and not in the good way. The sides seemed to be store bought, for example the green beens were definitely canned and the potato salad was store bought and premade. The prices were a bit high for the quality of the food but portions were decent I guess. If I came back it would be to try a burger, but with a price of $17 a piece I will not be back.

Is this up there with the great bbq places in the state? No. It's not trying to be. Hint hint daynes. Its a cafeteria style, you pick your meal, you go down the line, pick you sides and sauces..and your done. We had the three meat plate, and brisket sandwich plate. The meats on the plate were brisket, jalapeño sausage, and turkey. The sides on both plates were spicy pinto beans, Mac, and green beans. We had regular and spicy bbq. All the meats were good to great. The brisket was good, but missing that bark we like. The turkey was not dry. The best thing here, is when they say spicy, they mean spicy. Like runny nose spicy. Man it was good. The spicy bbq sauce was especially great. So just be careful because the beans were bordering on too spicy. The sausage was what daynes wished it could be. I know I keep ragging on daynes, but come here first, then go there and tell me if daynes belongs on any top list! I would pick still smoking any day! The Mac was delicious. The green beans were out of this world. Why not a 5? Well let's be honest, once you tried the true best in the state, it's hard to live up to it! As great as this place is, it's not snows or franklins or burnt bean epic. We still will definitely stop by when travel again!
