The food was good but there was a roach crawling on the wall. I informed the waitress and she apologized and she said they spray for roaches once a week. I would have left but she brought the food out right after I saw the roach so we went ahead and ate but I almost lost my appetite after that

We were in from Arkansas on a business trip and stopped in at this little diner. The food was not only amazing but the prices were super cheap for the amount of food you receive. If you are not from the area and are looking for a place to go you can't go wrong with this place.

Absolute worst tasting breakfast ham, sausage links, bacon, and biscuits I have ever had!I have eaten here in the past and always found to be pretty good.I believe restaurant owners should always taste test any foods they procure for use in their restaurants before they sell it to the public. The items listed above had no, to an awful taste that even lemons could not remove! The Biscuit must have been made with just flour, water, maybe some salt, and possibly some baking powder/baking soda. You would be hard pressed to make them more tasteless.I hate giving a bad review on a restaurant that I have eaten at before and found the food pretty good, but what I experienced this last time is exactly the reason whomever purchases the food items they will prepare for the public should very definitely taste each item before releasing it to the public.I might add that the hash brown potatoes were cooked exactly the way like them, browned on both sides and nice and crispy. Second time for them here!Parking: Some parking in front and a larger gravel parking lot in rear, but this is a pretty popular restaurant and it can be difficult to find a spot which kind of makes it hard , especially for disabled, to find a spot.Which makes it hard to understand how such bad tasting foods as I mentioned could get by anyone!

This place was packed at 5pm on Wednesday and I can see why! The food was great, customers happy, staff friendly... The one drawback is the parking, but there was room across the street.
