Yesterday, 10-27-24 we had the pleasure of meeting Trevor. He's so nice & his light shines so bright. Yosi, the cashier is also very nice and has lots of patience. Can't wait to visit when we're in town again!“

“My experiences at The Country Cabin have been always fantastic. My waitress Amanda is simply the greatest young lady. She is on top of her game when caring for her customers. I had the Spaghetti 🍝 with meat sauce today and the cook prepared it excellently. I couldn't eat it fast enough. Flavor and quality and quantity was superb. Thank you everyone for the BEST experience ever.“

“My party of 4 ordered the Whole Hog for $48. You get 4 sides and the meats. It was weird getting 3 Ribs so one of us had to do without a rib. The presentation of the platter of meat for the Hog was sloppy. Our server Vic. S. Was very pleasant but had to ask her for drink refills and plates for the Whole Hog.“

We told Tika(manager) who was taking our order that we had never eaten there before and she went above and beyond expectations to make sure we were happy with our visit.

“Let me tell you, my friends and I came here on Sunday, it’s football Sunday and they were packed. They were bit behind, but kept it pushing. But man when I tell you I had that five and dime sandwich IT WAS GREATNESS!! That gravy man it was phenomenal it was rich, creamy and had a huge sausage so I’m having 2 different meats which is worth every single dime I paid for. Those tasty hashbrowns were sooo good and those grits chefs kiss! The manager of the place I believe Destiny walked around talking to people and then came to us. Told us a little bit about the company and also that everything is made from scratch and which is amazing. She gave us a free iced cinnamon biscuitss which man when I tell you that biscuit was bussing!! Let’s just say we enjoyed the experience and even came back today. I had to leave a review“

“Stopped in here for our first time last Sunday, for breakfast. It was PHENOMENAL! The restaurant wasn't to busy or crowded, the staff was enthusiastic and upbeat, and at the end of our terrific meal the very pleasant manager, Kwamtiko Neal, gave us her business card and 2 free AMAZING cinnamon Biscuits. We thought we would save them for later but the warmth and smell of them drew us to munching them down before we even went on with our day. MAPLESTREET is definitely one of new favorites!“

“We came in on Friday around 6pm, was surprised the place was almost empty. We both had BLTs and onion rings. The onion rings were super crispy, I'm sure they are homemade. The ranch was awesome. BLTs were yummy but a nothing more than that. They would have been better with more bacon, $13 was a bit much for a basic BLT sandwich. Bathrooms were clean. Robin was our server, she was super friendly and attentive. The menu is huge!! This was my first time here as I've only moved here 3 month ago. My mom brought me here, she's lived here a long time now and has raved about this restaurant. I will definitely be back and look forward to trying more. You can't go wrong at Famous Amos!!“

“Food was great, service even better, and atmosphere was amazing. My wife has allergies and the manager came to explain everything she could order, and made sure the chef knew also. Prices make this place unbeatable. Definitely coming here again.“

“Awesome food. definitely worth it. Will be back!!“

“We went on a Sat night, and it was very chill. Everybody was super nice and got our food quickly to us. Everything was delicious and we could just enjoy our time together. This was my 2nd trip to this franchise but my 1st to that location and would definitely go again.“

“love the store, always find unique gifts. The restaurant renovation is nice however totally disappointed that the roast beef was taken off the menu. Not sure we will be back for dinner since this was my husband's favorite.“

“If the chicken would of been bigger, and one more rib bone for the price it would of been 5 star's all around. But I understand how bad our economy is, so I didn't give 3 star's do 4 star's is sufficient.

Kid-friendliness: Very much so kid friendly“

“everything!! Food, retail store and great customer service“
