Driving through town we stopped off for a a quick breakfast. The food was all delicious. My husband and I could have easily shared a meal and left for $20. Instead I ordered everything on the menu with the kids. Everyone left here feeling completely full and satisfied. All the food was amazing. Chicken fried sandwich was huge portion and the fries were on point. The eggs sunny side up were some of the best ever. Grits, we couldn’t get enough of them, fabulous and not lumpy. I ordered side of biscuits and gravy. Once again great! The bacon was crispy and perfect. The pancakes were absolutely fantastic! Coffee was hot and refilled often. Great service. The waitress was attentive and helped us select our food. We came at 9 am and were able to have the chicken sandwich for one kid and breakfast for the rest of us. Highly recommend!

Stopped in for a Friday afternoon lunch. A friend that works across the street recommended it, and it certainly was a treat. Chicken fried steak sandwich was perfect, hot and fresh with excellent service. I’d definitely visit again when in town. Very nice cafe atmosphere and I like the old throwback decor.

Sadly, This business has closed it’s doors. 🙁

Ah, this local classic diner has been a mainstay for, idk, before I was a person. It’s vintage. The prices are very affordable. It’s changed owners a few times. They go. The diner stays. I hope when the state building moves it’s operations downtown, the cotton bowl survives. The place is small, but this place loves our city. Historic photos adorn the walls.

But nobody would return if the food wasn’t good. Let me tell you now – it is.

Today, a Saturday, we came to try the new Cajun brunch special. Had to start with beignets(why do piles of powdered sugar always make my nose tingle?)

One of us had a two egg traditional breakfast and she raved about it.

Two of us had Cajun benedicts. An open English muffin, down home smoked sausage two poached eggs(just slightly over poached – but oh well) crawfish e’ttouffe’e topped with shredded cheddar cheese. There was a side of roasted potatoes.

This was a somewhat unique combination. Perhaps an offering of classic eggs Benedict might be a great addition. Hollandaise is not that difficult to make. Just a suggestion.

We’ve already planned our next trip – and what we’ll try next.

Four and a half, leaning to five stars.

It’s a cute small diner. We all ordered the Monte Cristo. This was my 1st time having that. It was crispy on the outside and covered in powdered sugar.

Had to wait 20 minutes for a drink order to be taken. Had to ask for silverware, napkins, and drink refills. We didn’t get all items ordered, nor did others around us. I’ve been there before and enjoyed it, today was the last time. Nevermind the wilted lettuce on a club sandwich

Little hole in the wall dinner with a historical charm. The food is good, but it’s what you expect from a breakfast/lunch dinner. It’s definitely good if you want something other than breakfast early in the morning.

I got the baked chicken and dressing lunch special with greens, black eyed pea’s, & hot water cornbread… I enjoyed every bite!!! I believe I can honestly say it was the best I ever had! Do yourself a favor and check them out! You may want to call or come in early… I was lucky enough to get the last order and was here by 12:30pm.

Great experience here. The food was outstanding and fresh; service was incredible, friendly, and warm… something you don’t get much of these days. My wife and I had brunch here after a night at the casino, and boy, it set us straight. Glad we stumbled across this cafe. Highly recommend.
