Quite possibly the rudest bartender I've ever encountered. Instead of walking over to the table for my drink order. She yelled across the room. There's a reason this place was empty. Never again
Food was better than I expected for a Friday night scene. Wasn't loud and service was prompt!

Nice place little noisy that could turn the Jukebox down a bit. Had the chili and grilled cheese.very good again I say nice place. 10/11/25. I went back for a visit at the shrimp special very good not a real fan of breaded food but it was good baked potato salad were very nice and the shrimp were OK. Service was great locals very friendly. I was back again on 1014 had the fish sandwich and fries very good probably the best fish sandwich I’ve had in years they have the little crinkle cut french fries but they were cooked to perfection. They were very good. Nice little place. I like it.

Food was utterly disappointing for me and my partner. We both had a Chicken Sandwich Basket with Mozza Sticks.
Chicken was hard and tasteless, crinkle fries were tasteless, and mozza sticks were overcooked. The most decent tasting part of the meal was the processed marinara sauce packet. The glass of water was great, props to the chef on this only.
Service was fine; a sweet lady that knows what she's doing and is taking care of business all by herself. Don't know how much she's making, but give the lady a raise for dealing with a full lobby swiftly and efficiently.

This is a nice little local bar and grill just off the highway. I ended up here one weekday night on a road trip because there’s not much else around. It was pretty empty…guessing mostly locals. The bartender was super friendly and attentive. The food was pretty good and price were very reasonable, even with a couple drinks. Worth stopping by if you’re passing through and want to eat local.

Good food with a good ole boy feel. Best part of being stuck somewhere is discovering good food. Just off 57. Definitely recommend.

Menu is simple but has good variety and fair prices, went in about 2:30pm after parking my truck at the neighboring truck stop. Had the chicken bacon ranch combo which was good with a good size portion of fries. Staff was nice, wish I had the chance to come during the lunch or dinner rushes to feel a little less akward sitting almost alone😅 but thats just me. Overall good food and good people 👍🏻 will definitely come back again.

Good food, fast service, and great prices on original menu items; what more could you ask of a small farming village restaurant? If you’re traveling I57 in Illinois and need a break for food, this is a quick, easy stop that will fill your belly without breaking the bank.

Very welcoming & the food is delicious with great prices. We will stop by again on our way back . We are traveling to Tennessee & happened to find this gem.
We had a busy load of 37 souls looking for food. We called ahead and were told to come on. We got there in about 15 minutes, were seated immediately, and got food and drinks right away. The food was great, the service was great, and we would all come back next time we're in the area. Thanks for a wonderful experience. Quito Seniors, Millington, Tennessee.
