We used to really like this place but something has happened to the cooking. The food the last few times has been black with too much spice and the usually yellow and creamy delicious Mac and cheese has turned into a blood colored hot spice of noodles. I am wondering if it is under new ownership. The waitresses are still wonderful and friendly but they seem disoriented and the atmosphere no longer is the same. I’m not sure what has happened. It is disappointing. My wife and I loved going there but think we will pass by and go somewhere else in the future. My stomach is not used to so much spice and it left me feeling sick.

I tried this cafe on 3/15/24. I flew into RDU, and my parents were going to Franklinton to meet a friend. Before we left the area, they told me this cafe was a must-try, so off we went, and I am so glad we did.
This may be the best hometown cafe I have tried in NC. The restaurant is very clean. The service is excellent. Both are easy five stars.
The food was delicious and another five star. Imagine a typical hometown-type cafe that had a baby with a culinary chef. That is what the food is like. We all ordered Hamburger steak with gravy and onions. I got cabbage and green beans. My mom got cabbage and rice/gravy, and my dad got black eye peas and butter beans. The hamburger steak was very generous, perfectly cooked, and fresh. The grilled onions were perfect. The best part was that the gravy was undoubtedly made from the pan dripping, which is hard to find in a cafe like this. The cabbage was seasoned with meat perfectly. The greens beans, butter beans, and rice were all great. The cornbread is moist and tasty.
Another thing that is nice for diet soda fans is they have Diet Pepsi and Diet Mt. Dew. That is unusual. Most of the time, it is Diet Coke or Pepsi, and that is it.
This is a must try if you visit or live in the area. Congrats to the chef and the entire staff!

Ruined my dinner, country fried chicken was given without gravy. To go orders should been checked before the order was handed out. No customer service Manager Kayla is clueless food dry and taste less. Had to purchase another dinner to eat. Wasted money

Great breakfasts. I love these types of places where you can get a southern, home cooked meal. Tasty biscuits and gravy, pancakes, traditional breakfasts (eggs, meat, grits, etc). Glad I found it! I’ve had the same waitress 3x and she’s awesome!

Food and service was great. Only reason didn’t give 5 stars is because French fries looked and tasted like been refried. Country fried chicken was chewy maybe need to cook some more. Would go back though. Was very good and welcoming.

Friendliest staff you’ll ever meet. My dad goes there often and introduced me to the owner who now always pauses to speak when I stop by even if my dad isn’t with me. And of course the food is very good! Highly recommend.
