My grandparents ate here, my parents ate here, I eat here, my children eat here, my grandson eats here. It's that good.

I have been going there ever since it was called Bill Burns Cafeteria. Foe the past 20 years the food is getting saltier all the time. I think i have gone for the last time. I also over heard a gentleman say on my way out that he couldn't finish his meal because it was salty. It doesn't seem to matter what I get. All of it is salty.

This place is always good. Everyone seems to like their chicken. I prefer the pork tenderloin meal. And I really like the dessert options.

I’m quite critical, typically, on my food reviews but I’m here to say that everything I ordered was great. I grew up in the rural Midwest (southern Illinois) and lived in the South for much of my adult life — so this type of food is very very familiar to me. I’ve eaten it, cooked it, and bought it in restaurants (“meat & threes”) hundreds of times. Today I tried the mashed potatoes, white gravy, Lima beans, pea salad, coleslaw, turkey and dressing, cheese pie, and banana cream pie. The turkey was my least favorite part. Just not much going on. The cornbread dressing was *slightly* underseasoned for me but moist. But all of the sides were great. Nothing from a can (except maybe the Lima beans, but they were creamy on the inside and delicious!) When making this kind of food in large quantities, many places like this cut corners and/or season it like hospital food. Almost everything was perfectly seasoned just as if I had made it myself. My favorite probably was the pea salad! The coleslaw was a bit limp but had a delicious homemade dressing. The potatoes were real, and seasoned pretty well — although I didn’t find the white gravy to have much taste. The pies were both good. I had to try the cheese pie, never having heard of it before. Turns out it is just cheesecake filling in a pie crust. Nothing wrong with it but for some reason not what I was expecting. The banana cream pie was good as well. Next time I will try the custard pie. It looked soooooooo good but obviously couldn’t justify three pieces of pie! My only other complaint, I have to say, were the prices. It was pretty high for what kind of food it is and the atmosphere. I spent $32 for one entree, four sides, and two desserts — a lot of food, I understand, but the extra sides were $4 each and the pie I believe was $6 a slice. A little steep. But I would go back again in a heartbeat to try some of their other offerings…and I will, for sure! The staff was friendly and helpful. Now, if you will excuse me I am going to go dig in to some of the leftovers!
