Great food in a country setting. Limited staff, but they work hard to get food out hot and in a timely manner.

Bologna with bbq sauce some fries and a small cup of tater salad $15.89. The bologna wasn't even fried. The fries were good potato salad was terrible. Overpriced definitely not worth it to me. Won't go back wouldn't recommend- read more

this is a clean and updated small restaurant. The customers were so nice and even invited me to sit with them. But I was taking out. When I ordered the lady was not pleasant. For this reason I would not go back. She made me very uncomfortable. The plate meal was decent but the burger and tots not so much. read more

Service was so slow I didn't know if they even know we were there. They seemed to busy talking with friends to come see us. 15 minutes to take a drink order. 5 minutes before we got our drinks. Took our order when she brough us our drink and then the real wait started. 45 minutes before we got our food. No drink refills, We just sat there. Now I will wait for good food. But this was not good food. It was luke warm at best. The slaw tasted like grass... For real man, it tasted like lawn clippings. The hush puppies were grainy and had no flavor. Still not offer any refills. Then we got the bill. HAHA hell no. read more

Lousy food and the service was even worse than their overpriced menu. The staff are rude it was overpriced and disgusting

Great food and service! I love that it's a little country place and so close to home!

I was so excited to find this off the beaten path country restaurant. I thought it was a meat and three kind of place but instead it was just breakfast and different kinds of burgers and sandwiches. I tried the hamburger steak with peppers and onions, they were definitely skimpy on peppers and onions. My husband said his double cheeseburger was just alright. We only got a handful of fries. My son's biscuit and gravy was barely warm. The biscuits did look homemade. The service was good but I think there's lots of other local places to try before stopping at this one. read more

Had Fried Catfish and 3 sides along with my wife also getting the catfish and it was delicious!!! By far the best fried catfish anywhere around it is not fried ahead of time. It's fried when you order it!! The mixed beans were cooked with chunks of ham and not out of a can. Pintos and white beans were awesome and made from scratch hush puppies to go with it and my other vegetable was their homemade cucumber, tomato and onion salad in some type of dressing that made it delicious. My wife and I then shared their fresh homemade banana pudding. Wonderful!!! read more

Spotless. Pride everywhere. I had a cheeseburger and fries, Jim had the breaded pork chop which was huge, more like a country-fried steak and said it was terrific. People at tables around us commented on how great the food was. The food, in generous portions, was artfully presented. This is a true cafe, artfully done without being pretentious. read more

I drive past frequently early in the morning. Their sign always says Open, but it's not. One day I came by later in the morning and they actually were open. I had a standard breakfast of bacon and eggs. The food was fine, but the waitress didn't appear to enthused about having to take my order. I can't see myself going out of my way to go back. They should open earlier. They're leaving Plenty of money on the table to sleep in. read more

Just not very good or appetizing anymore. Use to love this place but now it is so bland and everything is from a can. Nothing from scratch except the meats. Many more better options until they get serious about the good again. read more

Took way to long and didn't get what I asked for. Service was no better. Was my first and last visit

The amount of food for the price is amazing. Never leave hungry. (Or broke). Local owned and huge supporters of the community. read more

Southern comfort food like grandmomma makes. Really reasonably priced and they treat you like a neighbor when you come in.

Wonderful breakfast. Also very tasty lunches. They serve hearty portions , more so than most, and prices have been reasonable. Worth making a visit. Seating is tight during peak breakfast and lunch serving but to us it's worth the wait. read more

All time new favorites Pot Roast with potatoes and carrots, and fried green tomatoes. Yum! read more

I've given this place 3 chances and they've failed so now I must give an honest review. Inside is very small and tables are crowded together. Food is just average. The fried green tomatoes were sliced paper thin and were soggy. The fried okra is obviously the pre-breaded and frozen kind. The steamed broccoli was inedible. White beans and cornbread were decent but should have come with sliced onion. Good sweet tea though. Breakfast is better but not by much. The closest alternatives are an equally awful burger den or nasty mcdonalds. This is really just a place for locals so expect to be stared down if you're not one of them. (Unless you are also a loud xtian redneck) read more

Great little place to eat some breakfast/brunch. Breakfast sandwiches were a little unorthodox and the coffee served Luke warm. But I wasent expecting the greatest food going in anyways. For the price I shouldn't complain. read more

I would give this place 0 stars for f it were an option, rude owner, food ok but took too long... I wasn't even greeted upon arrival.

I have put off writing a review a few times now trying to give this place a chance over and over since it's the only country cooking restaurant in the area. However this last time was so bad I can't anymore!! The chicken fingers have been the only thing good I can recommend and that's debatable from time to time. The country gravy is as thin as water and the mash potatoes were horrible and that's bad coming from me, because I love all types of potatoes, but this just was unacceptable, not to mention if u go close to closing instead of them informing you they are running low or out of something they will water it down or make ur portions so small it doesn't fill up a super small container and lord forbid if you let them know they messed up your order or the food wasn't appealing because the owner is rude as the day is long, a real capital "B"... If u can't have good food at least be friendly that way u have something that keeps people coming back #wontbeback read more

Stopped in for breakfast the price was more than fair and the three eggs and sausage were very delicious. The atmosphere was cozy and it is a very clean environment including the restroom. I found a new place for breakfast and will be going back to try lunch or dinner. read more

Not impressed at ALL. The food was terrible. They overcharged us. I went back and they still didn't refund all of the money we were owed. 2 kids and one adult and it was 37 dollars for breakfast!!! That's crazy! Don't waste your time or money on this place. All of the workers are rude too. read more
