Stopped by for breakfast when in town. The food was good. Pancakes with bacon and eggs. The staff had a great attitude and reminded me what southern hospitality is all about. There is a Jukebox for tunes. The rest of the place is unassuming.
Just had a wonderful meal at this establishment. Spent the first part of my day learning about the history of the area and felt the warmth and love as soon as I stepped into this black establishment. The owner was very welcoming and the staff were inviting, answering questions that I had. The food was exceptional, I had the fish sandwich with fries and it was so good. Definitely recommend hitting this spot if you’re in the area. You won’t be disappointed!
Called in and order some breakfast sandwiches for my kids who were dancing at the Alabama theater, the lady was super nice, food was good and price was great. Would definitely recommend

The owner Ms. Treece is the most nicest person in the world. Her food, complimented her personality. I mean this woman can COOK. Her cakes are just like your gma, or mama used to make. Man her grits are just like your mom used to make . I must admit every time I took a

My vehicle was getting serviced, so I walked down to Nelson Brother’s Cafe for breakfast. Everyone was friendly, the food was hot, fast and delicious! It was so good that I didn’t stop to take a pic for this post. Thank you!

The lady over the place is extremely pleasant but the food today was horrible. To scoop up some undone clunky rice and place it on a plate and drizzle gravy over it like it was going to help was insane. I honestly feel like I wasted over $30 dollars for some food that wasn’t enjoyed and I tipped so it was close to $40 total that’s just gone.

Cold morning, and the fridge was low, so decided to order breakfast via Doordash. Spotted this and specifically decided to try it because of the salmon croquettes, something that reminds me of my Mom. I must say it was tasty, of course, not as good as Mom's, though. Enjoyed the meal!
