    “First time there today 2/20/26 and I'm impressed. Had the chicken salad on croissant with pasta salad and potato salad. The chicken salad is very good! Pasta salad has a great flavor to it, not sure what they use but it's not italian dressing, it's more sweet and really delicious. All the sides looked good. You get two sides with a sandwich and two of the choices were chocolate or lemon cake, gotta love a place that has cake as a side item 😁!”

    “Cute place, friendly enough service, but this Southern belle thinks the French toast needs a little more love and a whole lot less money! this little diner is cute as a button, quaint as Grandma’s kitchen, and has plenty of parking and seating — so you won’t have to circle the lot like a buzzard looking for a landing spot! The cooking has that home-style feel, and the folks were friendly as can be. Now, let’s talk French toast. It was average at best, and two slices for $9? Honey, I expected those pieces to come with a college degree and a retirement plan! No real butter, just those tiny prepackaged cups, and the syrup bottle poured slower than molasses in January. I nearly finished my life story waiting for that sweet stuff to hit my plate!”

I had the brisket and ribs, and my husband had the brisket and pulled pork. Everything was delicious! My only complaint about the food was that I wish it had been served a little hotter temperature wise. Our server was very nice, although service was a little slow at times. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and had a good experience. We’ll definitely visit again!”
