The food was terrible. It seemed like it was all frozen food that they cooked. I won't be returning.

I had the biscuits and gravy and steak and eggs and the biscuits kind of suck but and the gravy didn't have all that much flavor whatsoever I don't know I was still pretty good though I mean I didn't have no problem choking it down because I was hungry

I have ate at this spot several times but, I have to say I was not impressed this time. The food was not as good as usual and our waitress was not impressive. Not a very good visit this time.
