Excellent home cooked comfort food. Wish more places like this were around still. Think they have a dinner menu that changes each day and a set menu.

Best country cooking and best fried chicken livers around. Good local favorite, friendly staff and definitely affordable. It's a no frill come as you are place to go. But get there early as they do close at 4.

Always fantastic. It's a shocker I like the potato salad as it's more of a mashed potato type deal. But darn is it yum! Always friendly staff. Never had a bad meal. Don't let the 'hole in the wall' stereotype get you down. I only wish...Read More

Not a fancy place -- a place that locals go. Great southern home cooking. A good variety on the menu and the sides change. Reasonable prices, good, friendly service.

The place was clean, the food was wonderful, and the server very nice. Our other two breakfast places we normally go to were not open, so we tried this one, and this will become our number one breakfast place. The biscuits were great!

Always good eats. Garlic Chef salad is the best. Fried chicken is the best in the area. Great Big Burgers loaded, (fresh not frozen) with Onion Rings or Fries is 1 of the best around.
