Reviews


Nice family atmosphere. Truly enjoyed this place. Attentive, friendly staff. The burger combo and sandwich combo were outstanding. Staff wearing masks. Tables cleaned as soon as they are left vacant. Good food. Good people.

Breakfast or Lunch - you can't go wrong. Pancakes that cover a normal-sized dinner plate and chicken fried steak that is crispy and scrumptious. We did not partake in dessert, but there were several cakes, pastry and pie options for your sweet tooth.

Second time here visiting the family. Friendly service is standard. The meatloaf was literally as good as my mom's and she was sitting in front of me. The gravy was AMAZING. Fresh mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese. So very tasty. The family all had great meals as well: catfish and pork chops. Enough for two meals each. The glasses of tea were so huge my mom could barely lift them. The tea was actually really good...which is hard for tea. Wanted some dessert. Was overridden. Maybe next time.
