A small town eatery, offering Southern favorites with huge flavor. The service is very much what you want: excellent, attentive, and with genuine warmth. My favorite is the grilled chicken salad with their own ranch dressing. It's so good!!!! If you're in the area, I recommend them highly.

Sweet little place to eat. Felt like home when we walked in. Everyone was friendly n waitress was quick to arrive. Checked on us multiple times during our dining. We slid in 15 minutes before breakfast was over. Had to decide if we wanted breakfast or lunch. Opted for breakfast because bacon was still lingering in the air and several items were not ready for lunch. The biscuits were a little hard but we knew we were getting the last of the lot. We will definitely slip back in when we are in the area again!

Went for Sunday lunch. The parking lot was full but there were plenty of tables available. I got chicken and dressing, Turnip greens, and mac and cheese. It was awesome. I got a piece of red velvet cake to bring home.The tea was great too. They have a seafood buffet on Friday night, so we'll be back.I Everyone who works there was so friendly. They asked if the food was good and if we needed anything. They also serve a full breakfast too!

Let’s be honest. The cheeseburger I got has been on my mind for a mind for, I believe now, a little over a month. The meat was juicy and tender, and all the helpings/dressings were fresh for the burger. The onion rings? Delicious. I look forward to my next visit!
