Service was awful. I will never come back. The waitress came to my table 5 times. Once to take the order, once to bring the food, once to ask if we wanted the check, once to bring the check and once for refills. I dont mind the forced 20% if they actually do something. I know why she didn't want to do anything, she already knew she was getting a tip.

Overall this place was okay with a few issues here and there. If you aren't a fan of black pepper I highly recommend skipping this place as all of their items are heavily peppered, including the mash potatos, gravy and mac & cheese, these were the only things I tried and they were all very heavy on the black pepper.This place is also not wheelchair accessible, the aisles are too small and the bathroom would be almost impossible to use.I tried the country fried steak which had a delicious breading but a very thin amount of beef on the inside. The beef was 1/3 of the entire steak, the rest was breading. It came with brown gray which was good.We tried the chopped steak which apparently took the kitchen about 40 minutes to make, at that time we already had two rounds of people at the table next to us eat and leave before we even got our food. The chopped steak was good but served well done. There was little onion on it and was served with the brown gravy. The overall taste of the meat had a nice char flavor.The choped steak came with Large crinkle fries which were really good and crispy, they were lightly seasoned with salt.As for the sides I thought the grits were terrible, they tasted like dirty water and were water logged. I think they used margarine in the grits instead of real butter making the grits taste almost chemically.The macaroni and cheese had a really good cheese flavor,but the shells were overcooked and mushy. The cheese was smooth and creamy but also heavily peppered with black pepper which I didn't enjoy, if the pepper was less I would definitely have enjoyed this more.I tried the mashed potatos and the texture was okay, but again heavily black peppered which I do not prefer, it also tasted like they had put some pork sausage grease in it.The cornbread is jalapeño only so if you have an allergy you are SOL and have to get a roll instead.There is tooth picks hanging from the ceiling which is weird and gross in my opinion, I just sat there wondering if they would fall on someone. The place is definitely stuffy and has mold on the ceiling, so if you have a mold allergy I recommend not visiting.Parking: There is street parking but that may be full, there is also a lot down the street.Wheelchair accessibility: Aisles are too small, there was barely room for walking. the bathroom has the toilet walled off by itself with little space infront of it, it would be almost impossible to use.

I got the chicken tenders - they were ok. Really enjoyed the corn bread, and Mac & cheese. The atmosphere, and staff were the best. Really enjoyed the vibe.

Oh boy. Down home, comfort cookin' at it's finest. There's a reason this place had a line out the door (other than being Friday afternoon before an Ole Miss football weekend). Really enjoyed my experience here.Can be a little confusing because there's not a host that takes you to a table, so you don't know if the line is moving or not. Whoever's at the front of the line just has to keep an eye out and be proactive when people vacate tables. That may put some people off, but don't let it. The food is worth the confusion ha, and it may not be an issue when it's less hectic.

This is the way to do Oxford foodie style! Amazing home style chicken fried steak, chicken and dumplings and jalapeño corn bread! Simply do not miss this comfy unpretentious piece of Oxford history.
