We found this place on our way home from a cake delivery.
What a find! The food is all made in-house and fresh. I ordered chicken tenders that came with 2 sides. I didn't even touch my side because I was not waiting for the chicken it was the best!

My husband ordered meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans, and callard green. There was not one thing left on his plate.

The service was spot on. Never waited on anything or had to ask for a single thing. I wish it was closer to home.
I would drive the hour 15 min to eat there again for sure!

First time we've been back since new owners took over and absolutely will not return. We have zero complaints about the service but the food was absolutely disgusting. Hash browns were gray and old, bacon was OLD, eggs were very over cooked. We also got a side of creamed chipped beef...the meat was a weird color with white edges in a cream sauce that tasted sour. We told the owner and all he was willing to do was take a drink off the bill. We only ate a bite each of the CCB. We absolutely will never be back. Overpriced garbage food. It's a shame because it used to be good.

Usually great other then the last time we went there was only one waitress and the manager or owner could have been helping and decided to stand at the register instead of giving help to the single lady that was waiting on all the tables and I really believe he should have stepped up to the plate and helped

We had a large group. Food came out little by little, as there was only one server for the whole restaurant. She did great!!! Food was good. The owner knew we were coming... not sure why he didn't prepare?? We would go back, though, just not with a group.

Parking: Not recommended for handicapped.

Food was excellent though it took a while to prepare. Interior atmosphere was very quaint and comfortable, definitely needs a face lift outside to appear more desirable to passers by . Overall a nice first experience !

Kid-friendliness: Very kind staff. Lots of room to roam.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access and maneuverability.

Food was ridiculously bad. We had stuffed peppers, baked potatoes, salad, and chili. All were pathetic. We took a couple bites of each and ended up leaving it all. We just politely got up and paid our bill. Only decent thing about our experience was our waitress, Tanya. She was the sweetest. Didn't feel like complaining to her, because it was obviously not her fault. The cooks, owners, manager(s) are cutting corners and using less than quality ingredients. Honestly, very sad.
