I never leave this place without ordering slaw dog. That being said I got the Western omelette as a wild card order the last time I went to this diner and it was the best omelette I’ve ever had. This place is very downhome and comfort food at comfort prices is what you get. The customers are always kind of the same every time I go in. And by that I mean everyone is a neighbor it seems like. Everyone behind the kitchen wall is working hard and even the ones that come out and serve. This is a wonderful operation and the food is simple, very affordable, but made with something special. I eat hear every chance I get.

The food was great, prices are even better!

We were on some 2 lane back road that really only had room for one car at a time. Then we came upon the sharpest left turn I’ve ever seen in my life! It looked like an upside down V, it was that sharp. My daughter stoped the car, too afraid to go forward, thinking the car would tip over or something. I talked her into going ahead slowly and we made it down the mountain to highway 11-W and to this restaurant.

There’s plenty of parking and about 6 booths with a round table in the corner. Cash Only.

Sitting there before ordering, I eavesdropped on the fellow customers. I heard one man say he better git goin’ he’s been there since they opened (5 am) and it was close to noon. Sure did love their accents. While I have a Tennessee accent, these were lovely hill country accents. To me, it felt like stepping back in time.

There was one server, she was fast and no nonsense. She zipped from kitchen to tables back and forth. Wore me out.

We ordered breakfast over medium with eggs, bacon, home fries, grits and toast. The kid had scrambled egg with a biscuit and sausage gravy.

Everything was hot, very good and the iced tea was perfect. Daughter said that was the best coffee she’s ever had! And the bacon…so so good!!

It was just a good atmosphere; even all the other customers were nice and friendly.

I wish I had taken more pictures, a video would have been nice. But I suspect it might also seem rude. But I am going back to take a picture of that sharp curve!

Yes, we’d like to come back for lunch. And to listen to all the folks. My kind of people.

Fantastic cheeseburger. Crinkle cut fries. Mighty good Sal, better get you some.

But there is only seating for 15, you might have to plan your visit at an off time

Kay’s is the place to go if you are
looking for good, simple home
cooked food. This small family
owned hidden gem, has been
opened for 37 years. They serve
breakfast and lunch. We got the
Cheese burger, onion rings ,grilled
cheese, tater tots and slaw. Food
was fresh, hot, delicious and made
to order. The staff is very friendly and
prices very reasonable. They only take
cash or checks. Definitely will go back
to try breakfast.

We loved it!! We love little mom-and-pop restaurants, and this one really fit the bill!! With only six tables, it’s the quintessential small mom-and-pop shop!! The food was outstanding, and the ladies cooking and serving were great!! It’s definitely going to be a new “regular” for my wife and I!!

Excellent hamburger and fries! As soon as we entered the quaint little restaurant we were greeted by the staff and strangers alike.
Food was prepared to order and served hot. Highly recommended!

40 years in business, must mean that they’re getting it right! Loved the sausage gravy. Perfect taste with the homemade biscuits. It’s not fast food. It’s GOOD food cooked to order. Bring CASH. Cards not accepted. Definitely will stop in again to try another meal.
