⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Cultured Punk
So Waffle House is going out of business because places like this exist. Great country feel with a genuinely nice staff. They also had 5 different gravies. Gravy… usual Sausage gravy … great Chocolate gravy … amazing Red eye gravy…. Confusing. But not bad Tomato gravy…. Didn’t have time for all of them. This place is a must try! Glad we did!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Matt Brown
I can't say enough about this local restaurant. I'm up for business and a friend recommended this place. Went for breakfast and wow!! The menu has all the good old fashioned food that you would get at grandma's. I had to try the tomato gravy and yep, they hit it on the head! The staff was wonderful and the feel of the place just made you feel at home. 10 out of 10 and will be back for sure!! Eat and shop local. It's worth it!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Jill Easton
Country fried steak swimming in gravy, fried pork chops, purple hull peas, turnip greens all perfectly cooked and seasoned. If your mouth isn't watering yet there is no south in your soul. The portions are huge, at lunch there are daily specials that include food, drink, three sides and a roll or corn bread at a very reasonable price. There are also great menu specials. They start serving breakfast at 6:30 a.m. The food is wonderful, service is good and the number of locals who regularly dine there is a sign that things are done right.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Paul K Brown
Excellent restaurant. A menu full of choices all of them excellent. Fast service. I’ll go out of my way to have a meal there. Highly recommended.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Jason Tisdale
Food was outstanding, we went around 10:30 and they had several empty seats. Took the staff at least 5 mins to even come to us and they weren't busy. Every time someone brought us something it was someone different. I had to ask for a refill but the food made up for it.
