“Stopped in on 10/06/26 to try Beth’s famous biscuits and gravy, which are served only on the first Friday morning of every month. We originally learned about the biscuits and gravy because we stopped in the afternoon before to try their corned beef and Reuben sandwiches, so I’ll touch on both.

On Friday we arrived right at 9:00 AM, when they opened. Beth was also the bartender that morning. There were already a few people at the bar and a couple of tables occupied, which is always a good sign. We knew right away we were in for a treat after Beth welcomed us with her fun personality.

I noticed a large jar behind the bar filled with Tito’s vodka and a serious amount of peppers. My immediate thought was that it would make a great base for a morning Bloody Mary, and I was absolutely right.

After ordering a couple drinks, we both ordered the biscuits and gravy, which also came with scrambled eggs and bacon. The gravy was very tasty and not overly spiced. The bacon was crispy, and the eggs were fluffy and served hot.

By the time we were ready to leave, Beth had a full house, yet she handled everything perfectly.

I forgot to take pictures the day before of the corned beef and Reuben sandwiches, but both were excellent.

The great staff, friendly crowd, good food, and reasonably priced drinks make this a place we’ll want to visit again and again.“
