November 12, 2024 - It's official, this place has, unfortunately, closed for good. Came by today and saw them carrying off furnishings, and a big sign said, "closed." Also, I saw a sign that said the business is for sale. So, so, sad... The food was some of the best around. We'll miss you Billy and Starr. 😭

Oct. 31, 2024 - Not sure what's happening? I traveled to get food last Friday for lunch but the place was closed. My friend traveled yesterday to get lunch but the place was closed. What's up?

(New Update at bottom)

So, many months ago, I saw that this place (a little hole-in-the-wall, which I love) had a sign saying they would be coming soon. I've been waiting and checked Google Maps today and they said they were open. A perfect time to visit!

The place sits separately on one side of a gas station (which lately seems a trend for good little food places) and is small. It is very eclectic in decor and has maybe 7 tables and a counter to sit at. It is decorated with movie memorabilia and knicknacks which make it interesting to look at while waiting for your order.

Our waitress, Star(r)(sic?) was friendly, quick-witted and sharp. She had a response to everything, and it was all funny. Even though she was by herself the service was good. No complaints.

As you'll see, the menu is pretty extensive for such a small spot and the food above what we get in the area. My friend has a burger, with everything, so big and fries (lightly seasoned and flavorful). I had a pork cutlet sandwich and fries squash. I ordered the cutlet because I don't find many places have it - handcut and to order. Both were enough to bring us back to try other good items. (My only suggestion would be to have a heartier bread, like cibatta, to hold up under the hot cutlet because the bread was so-so and got steamed on the bottom and fell apart).

I wanted an appetizer and asked if the mushrooms were frozen or fresh and the waitress said, "everything is fresh." She was right! I had the mushroom appetizer and a side of squash (with meal), and both were lightly battered and delicious.

I'll definitely be back and my friend said he would as well. The owner came out and chatted and was nice and talked a bit about his restaurant background. Good to have the details.

Definite recommendation for our first time. I'll update this review next time, but you should definitely try it!

UPDATE: I've been three times now and the third time is as good as the first (second time was okay). You'll see I added photos of the "Famous Que" and the "Reuben." Both sandwiches were hearty and unique to the area (no one has anything close). The "Que" had sizable amounts of thick brisket, onions, peppers, and cheese on a toasted bun (the toasted bun is important for texture). I had a side of green beans in a juice made with some of the juices from the meat. Wow! Good flavor! The Reuben had thick slices of corned beef, cabbage, and cheese. I haven't seen a Reuben like this since the Jewish deli's in New England (not as hearty but close).

I would definitely recommend you go before this place gets a following and you can't get in. I'm going to work for a permanent seat. 🤣

Don't let the location fool you. This small restaurant puts out some delicious food. Had the Duke with a fired egg and cheese. Comes with a free bowl of grits!

Our first time eating here. Our waitress was nice. My husband ordered a brisket sandwich and wanted a side of collards. When it came out it was the sandwich with chips and he told the waitress he was supposed to get collards. She was nice and said I will go get them. There was another lady that worked there and was questioning her about the collards and told her you can’t get those with a sandwich it’s not a side for that. Our waitress made the comment to her “well the customer is always right” and the other waitress really rude said no they are not. She made a few more ugly comments. It’s a small restaurant and she didn’t care who heard I guess. She completely made us feel like she could care less about having customers and that we were a bother. It’s not like we knew you couldn’t order that with a burger and it’s not like we were asking to get it free and yes we were charged the $3 for a cup of collards and didn’t complain. We always believe in supporting local businesses but we won’t be back to this one unfortunately.

Delicious biscuits, perfect grits, and friendly staff. Glad we stopped in on our way down to Atlanta from Franklin and gave it a try. It was not disappointing! It has a convenient location too...right off the 4 lane. Small, but very clean and interesting decor. They also have a drive thru if you're in a hurry and they serve breakfast all day. Great little diner all around!!

The fresh summer squash served up hot - perfectly cooked (!) and delicious. My friend ordered French fries which turned out to be made right there from fresh potatoes! Yum! And the chicken tenders had a very light almost tempura like breading. I'll go back just for the squash!! The decor is delightfully tacky boho, prices were modest, and staff friendly.

The food was absolutely delicious!! The omelette, the praline French toast, and the breakfast burrito were so good. The biscuit was fluffy and the service is fantastic. It is homey feeling and gypsy vibes. Did I say our meal was very reasonably priced too! What a great morning!!! We will definitely be back!!!

Super cute atmosphere with amazing food and great variety! Hard to find really good food, portion sizes, and price these days, but Hollywood Eats is all that and more!! Went for lunch and can't wait to try breakfast as they have excellent homemade biscuits which I had with my perfect hand battered fried chicken, squash casarole (yum), and hand cut fries. Our party also had a superb cuban sandwich and a delicious brisket que sandwich; all of which were on point. Our waitress was attentive, helpful, and friendly; also hard to find these days. Buyer beware! Once tried may become a habit ;-)

Vegetarian options: Its a diner, but has many vegi side items that can make a perfect veggie plate.
