If this doesn't scream hole in the wall... you've got much lower standards than me. :-P…read more Anne's Diner is small, and hidden away from the public. I almost missed it going for lunch thanks to the small sign out front. From the outside it's an old white building, small little street sign to let you know you found it, and a small lit "Open" sign in the right front window. No real parking aside from some limited space directly in front of the building, or in the grass behind it. Inside doesn't change much. Maybe 6 tables with enough room for 4 at each. You order directly from the counter, using the wall mounted menu that's hand written with the options for the day. What I wanted, was the Fried Pork Chop or Chicken, what I somehow ordered was the Fried Fish. No, to be clear, they didn't mess up my order. I literally said Fried Fish, then while sitting at the table waiting on my food I thought "DOH!". To accompany the fish, I also requested fried okra, green beans, and Mash Potatoes. I'll start with what I consider negative: The Fried Okra, appeared just pan fried at best. I was expecting a breaded okra that was fried, then served. That crunchy outside, with the soft tasty center... that was my expectation. But what I received was more, boiled and "mushy". This isn't a total negative as much as it is an "unknown". I should have asked what fish was being fried. I had hoped/assumed it would be catfish, and while it COULD have been, I'm not actually sure. It was definitely a white fish, but I almost think it was COD or Bass. Not sure. Now, the positive: Back to the subject of the fish. It was fried very well. Flaky, well breaded and seasoned, fried to a beautiful golden brown. Soft and delicious. While I didn't get the okra I was expecting, it was still good. Well seasoned and prepared, tasted good, and I actually enjoyed it. Though I would have preferred the actual fried okra more. The beans were simple, but not over salted or anything. So good on those too. Lastly, the mashed potatoes were definitely made in house, a bit chunky, but still good. To be fair, they weren't overly seasoned, but a dash of salt and pepper, and it was perfection. Price isn't horrible considering how much food you're loaded with, a piece of corn bread, a small but tasty desert snack, and my never ending glass of sweat tea. Total came to just over $8. Ms. Anne, the owner, was the sweetest woman on earth and made me feel extremely welcomed. Not really how you feel at most quick sit and eat establishments. For a small hole in the wall, the food was really quite good. No flair, no fancy table or prepared meat. Just basic food on a plate ready for you to eat. Be warned, and it may change, when I went there was no AC kicking... just some ceiling fans. So it may be a better option for to-go depending on the heat outside (or the crowd inside). I do plan to return and try more of their "meat" options, such as the fried chicken... BBQ Ribs... or fried pork chops. And that is only some of the many options that change almost daily! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a southern bite that truly feels "down home"!

First time we ordered the fried pickles and got a normal sized basket worth the $5 I paid, second time I got little over ¢50 worth for the $5. The brisket sandwich is very good and I can not recommend it more and that is the reason I am giving it three stars. In my opinion they are price gauging and charging way over a 3x and approaching 5 or 6x. Try it and you may or may not agree depending on how much disposable income you have. Update Last two visits have been so much better. Highly recommend the Spicy Chicken Sandwich and fries! The breading is spicy and so deep friend.

The service and members working there are so nice and personable. There was no "menu", just a whiteboard with what they had. No prices to be seen (ended up paying $17 for fried chicken, yams, Mac and cheese, greens, cornbread and sweet tea!). And honestly I am ok with that! They had oxtails while I was there (I didn't get them) but a large amount of people came in because they heard that they had them today so that says something. Good size portions, with great homemade flavor from the greens to the cornbread. Now, the outside and inside are not the best, definitely a hole in the wall spot. The food is so worth it!
