“Food was amazing!! Their fried chicken is the best tasting and the pork chop was delicious and soooo tender. You could cut the pork chop w a fork. Yummy. The poppyseed salad was the best and the green beans ooh, so good! But the sweet potato I couldn't get enough...yummy, yummy, yummy! I'm too full to eat dessert but they let you take that home w you. Our waitress, Kaitlyn, was so sweet and attended to our every need. A place we will recommend to our friend's and family. Now to go and walk off those extra calories. Haha!

“My husband and I always make it a point to come here for breakfast whenever we’re on vacation, and it never disappoints. The grits are absolutely amazing and one of my favorite things on the menu. They remind me of my grandmother’s homemade grits, especially after I mix in my eggs and bacon.

The gentlemen working behind the bar were incredibly kind and a pleasure to talk with. They had strong accents, so I didn’t catch everything they said, but they were friendly and welcoming throughout our visit.

Our waitress was fantastic as well. She made sure our coffee cups were always full and checked on us regularly without being overbearing.

We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in town for vacation. This place has become one of our favorite traditions!“

“Waffle House absolutely nailed it. I stopped here on my way back to Louisville after a short vacation, and honestly, it was the perfect final stop. From the moment I walked in, the energy was warm, fast, and friendly — that classic Waffle House hospitality that just hits different. The staff was on point, the service was quick, and everything felt effortless in the best way.

The food came out hot, fresh, and ridiculously good. Perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, and exactly what you want when you come to a place like this. No pretensions, no overthinking just good food done right.

For the price, the flavor, and the service, this visit was honestly one of the best Waffle House experiences I’ve had. Sometimes the simplest places deliver the biggest satisfaction, and this one did exactly that.

A solid 10/10 moment, the kind of stop that makes the drive home feel even better.“

But the aioli sauce made the tender thick fillet of awesome fish perfect. Seasoned just right and a bistro salad to start I wasn’t hungry for dinner till much later. It was fantastic! The salad with cranberry and cucumber and cherry tomatoes was amazing. The sliced toasted almonds were a nice touch. Blue cheese dressing on side of course. My server was very attentive and friendly. Very kind lady as were all the staff were during my stay. Enjoy“
