I’ve come to this place a number of times and never been disappointed. This was the first time I had lunch and it didn’t disappoint either. I had the chicken liver special and side of mixed vegetables and fried okra. The chicken livers were fried just right and with the gravy I ordered to pour over them really accentuate the taste. I could have eaten the fried okra light popcorn due to the great flavor and tenderness. The mixed vegetables taste like they were heated up from the can and were plan with no seasoning. I took home a banana pudding dish which was good for restaurant pudding. The server was great and I had great conversation with the person sitting next to me. Has a real down home country vibe. I have an hour drive to get there and I’ll be making the trip again.

First time review
Yummy experience from start to finish!
The food was five stars because every dish had flavor and was presented beautifully.
The atmosphere was clean, thoughtfully designed, and welcoming.
And the service? Outstanding.
Our waitress was friendly, warm, and genuinely personable. We felt right at home and she went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time.
Five stars across the board! If you haven’t been, GO!

We have been here many times and always gotten great service and excellent food. I am so thankful that they make anything on their menu even if it’s breakfast. I had two teens with me yesterday that one wanted a patty melt, one wanted a salad at 9am. The server didn’t even question it, just took care of them. I know how much of a pain it is to break the rhythm, but I really appreciate the people accommodating them.

No need to waste any money here. The food is gross and the coffee is worse. The coffee is so weak, it has an amber color to it and it is see-through. The food tastes like something I would make at home after a night out drinking, only it costs more. They are very skimpy with their food. My breakfast sandwich was practically flat.
The service was slow and the waiter kept forgetting our order and drinks. I can certainly forgive that if the food and beverage were good, but they were absolutely not. I have no idea why people are rating this as high as they are. It must be bots and AI because there’s no way this place deserves more than 1 or 2 stars.

My meal was perfect! I had the sweet potato pancakes with turkey sausage links. The pancakes are large and fluffy. Definitely having leftovers. My server, Alynn, was super sweet and attentive

This was my first time here and I’m really glad the kids and I chose this place. It had a solid country vibe, was well decorated and clean. The food was great and the service was even better. We had the Oreo French Toast, KouKou Bear Pancake and the Biscuits and Gravy; all of it was great. Our server, Alana, was extremely nice and on top of everything. She made sure the drinks were refilled before they were empty and just made the overall experience better. Highly recommend this place even if you may have to drive a little further than normal to try it.

Breakfast is good. Lunch, not so much. It could be because it was near the end of the day for them. An hour before closing. Could have just been an off day for them. Will try again.

Breakfast has been great each time we’ve visited. They have a sign out front and a black board that they put the specials on. Sometimes they do have fried shrimp, so if you have a shellfish allergy be aware. They do have some alternatives. Some they charge for which is not fair if you have an allergy.

Recommended dish? The Oreo French toast or French toast. It may sound weird, but once you try it, it’s so good. Their French toast base is one of the best I’ve ever tried. It’s got so many options to experiment with. They can make breakfast sandwiches with it or do other flavors like putting fruit toppings on it or bacon. Can even do seasonal flavors for the special. They do have their version of the monte Cristo which you can change your cheese choice on it. It uses the French toast. Fresh squeeze orange juice is good also.

Other downside to the restaurant is that they have politics playing on the tv. Skip the news channel to stay neutral. Have stuff on related to the restaurant theme, food programming, positive thoughts tv, or play music. Staying neutral is good for business and attracts more money than complaints.

Some suggested dishes for the specials? Expand on the banana pudding and try cookies and pudding, Nilla wafers and vanilla, key lime pudding or lemon pudding with graham cracker crumbs, strawberries with sauce and graham cracker crumbs, coffee pudding or dessert, make your own breakfasts sandwich, croissants, cheese potatoes, breakfast bowls, seasonal pancakes and season French toast

The food here was delicious! We were visiting for a wedding and we’re glad we stopped here for breakfast. Our server was very nice. We ordered oatmeal that came with an English muffin, an order of pancakes (3 huge pancakes), side of fruit and homemade biscuit. The place was clean and lively.

A friend and I stopped in for lunch. It is nice that you have the option of breakfast or lunch options. The staff was incredibly nice and attentive. The food was delicious and with generous portions. The French Fries are to die for.
The decor was interesting. Not sure how I feel about about the huge Taylor Swift cut out.
The only thing that could make this place better is if they served Bloody Mary’s!
