I'm new here and when I stopped in for the first time , I was met with a freindly waitress and sat down. I ordered a pulled shoulder sandwich and frys. it arrived quick and was delicious. I spoke with all the staff/cook/owner(?) and let them know it was nice to sit down and have great meal in a hometown setting. She sent me home with a healthy slice of homemade chocolate pie(It was sooo good!). I'll definitely be back to try more of what they have. Thanks Again.

The good: Burger and Hamburger steak is the absolute best in the region. Good fruit tea. Great ribs. Daily special is generally very tasty and outstanding value at $7.99 with 2 sides. Service is always great and personable. Good slaw. An actual Salad Bar! The Bad: Many of the sides are mediocre or less. Desserts have been disappointing too. Pulled pork had no flavor at all. Brisket flat was gray, tough, and lacked flavor.. though there was point in a sandwich that was very tasty on a different visit! Daily special is country fried steak way too often. Chili isn't very good, but I'm heavily biased on chili. The ugly: Inconsistent credit card processing, and no way to tip on card. I don't carry cash, so I have to go out of my way to get cash or skip it all together. (They are very customer focused if this becomes a problem, no fault on that). Factor in CC sales costs.. I don't care if I pay extra for it.. that $1-2 difference is nothing to the inconvenience of running to an atm. The Verdict: That burger/hamburger steak is ridiculously good.. enough to carry this place over my gripes. Though the CC problem has cost them 5-6 visits from me. Overall I highly recommend the burger and fruit tea if you've got cash!

I've been here 3 times and find the food very good. The burger is super yummy. I've only had one desert strawberry cobbler, nope way to sweet for me. Maybe other deserts are better. I'll try another.

Very delicious food, helpful waitress, and great atmosphere. I don’t know how to describe this place better, it was a top notch restaurant.

We was in town visiting our son and grandson. We stopped in and had dinner. Our waitress was so wonderful, attentive and caring. Everyone was so polite and wonderful. I can not recommend this restaurant enough. The food was incredible and the service made it even better. Will be back again when back in town visiting
