After driving by many times, it sparked my interest to try this restaurant. Walking inside, I wondered if I had made the right choice, the decor isn't vintage but just old and doesn't flow. We ordered the Fried Chicken and Beef N' Noodles. The chicken was the best fried chicken I've had outside of the South. The Beef N' Noodles tastes really good too. The sides were not great but edible. We ordered the Apple Dumplin' even though we were full and it is not to be missed. I would go back just for this dessert.

I had the Sunday brunch its one of the worst buffets I have had. Only two proteins chicken and meatloaf both of them were not good and the price of it was two high. $18.85 with no desert that's crazy.

Wow.. what a homey little secret! Actually we’ve heard about this place for a while; our grandmother said she loved coming here. We happened to be in the area today and remembered about it so we googled the info and saw they were open. So dang glad we did!! I got the homemade chicken & noodles and he got the ham beans and cornbread; seriously good and hit the spot! For dessert we shared the apple dumpling with ice cream. Apples aren’t my favorite but this was amazingly good, especially with the ice cream!! Our server, she was wonderful, can tell she’s been there and knows all the regulars and we love that! Definitely will take time to make the trek back over (we live about an hour away!) thanks for a wonderful early dinner!
