    1/8/26 First time here and we will definitely return! This is home style cooking at it's finest. Everything was hot and fresh! We got fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans. I will say my Dr Pepper was weird tasting but everything else great!

    Great place to eat if you are looking for a tasty, “home-cooked” meal! I’ve visited several times and the food is always good, not expensive, and the service is great!

    Our first time here. They were very busy and doing their best 👌 Our food was delicious! My pancake was bigger than the plate. Bacon is baked to perfection. Husband enjoyed country fried steak, gravy, biscuit and home fries. Coffee is delicious 😋 We sat at the bar so we didn't have to wait for a table. Everyone that worked there and walked by; acknowledged us and asked if we needed anything. Even though they were busier than heck already, but they wanted to make sure we had what we needed . And kept apologizing for our wait. It's well worth the wait!!! Looking forward to going back for lunch soon.

    Food comes 45 minutes late and cold. Go to a place like waffle shoppe instead, you'll get good food and faster. Come on man 😒

    Great atmosphere with a great view, the fried chicken and country fry steak were great!, i was disappointed with the side dishes. I was really looking forward to eating some collared greens and cornbread. The cornbread was old in stale. The greens were okay not much flavor very salty.The macaroni and cheese was fine, but not great. They definitely need better sides dishes. I was more in love with the view and atmosphere than the food.
