Awesome place, as I'm sure locals already know. Food and service was terrific. Timing is everything here, as it is small and can fill up quickly. But, it is definitely worth waiting for.

I got a Carolina dog which was decent but I thought red onions instead of white was a little strange and I did have to pull a piece of onion skin out but over-all a decent dog. My friend got a chili cheese dog and he said it was pretty good. We both wished the cottage fries were more well done but we were glad we tried them. The prices seemed a little steep for hot dogs but that could be location based. Overall I wouldn’t mind eating here again. The servers were nice enough and the atmosphere is very cute and retro!

Despite the tiny size, this place has a big personality! The decor was fun and very small-town-diner-esque. There was a toy bin for restless kids - and our kids definitely made use of this! The food was top tier diner fare with your basic grilled cheese, hot dogs, and burgers, but the homemade fries & chips were quite yummy. The ice cream was a big winner - kids sundaes were well-loved and a chocolate malt was perfection. My kids have been asking to go back all week!

Recently dined here for a lunch with friends. The food was very classic American diner food, but yummy! Everyone was happy with their food and we were treated very kindly.

The lettuce on sandwich had an horrible taste and my husbands Ruben was really burnt. Not impressed.

The food was alright, the service was great, very friendly. But they used all styrofoam and plastic and disposable dishware and silverware for in-restaurant dining. Very wasteful :( I wanted to have a nice warm mug I could hold, like my usual homey diner experiences

I’ve only ordered lunch from here once or twice during the week because it’s fast and convenient. Today, my husband and I decided to order takeout based on their online menu. He ordered a Pimento Cheeseburger, and I got a regular cheeseburger with curly fries. The online menu described the Pimento Cheeseburger as a 1/3 lb. burger with melted homemade pimento cheese. We paid $27, and when we got home, we noticed my husband’s burger had lettuce, tomato, and onion, but no visible pimento cheese.

I called the restaurant to let them know we received the wrong burger and asked if I could bring it back, and they said yes. When we arrived, we only brought back my husband’s burger. While we were waiting, Misty (who I was told is the owner) came from the back with the burger bag and said, "This is a pimento cheeseburger," in the most condescending tone I’ve ever heard. I asked, "Oh, so there is pimento cheese on it?" She replied yes and pointed to the in-store menu, where it mentioned onions, lettuce, and tomato, as if we hadn’t read it properly. Then, without another word, she dropped the bag on the table in front of us, turned and walked back to the kitchen—no greeting, no apology for the confusion, nothing.

This was one of the worst customer service experiences I’ve ever had. We left, and I immediately threw the burger in the trash. I’ve heard stories from one of my relatives, who is over 75, about this place’s racist history, but I was willing to give it a chance. After all, it’s 2024, right? I didn’t want to argue with her—it’s her business, and we can’t change her attitude. But we can choose not to patronize her establishment again. I’m sure she'll read this and won’t care, but I want others to be aware of where they’re spending their money.

As Maya Angelou once said, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

For the price, just no. I would have expected better quality burger meat and just the food in general. The burger meat was thin and had no taste. I got the pimento burger and it tasted like I was eating just lettuce and bread. The cottage fries were good though. They charge .75 for a small ranch.

One of if not the most iconic resturant in Davidson, The atmosphere is unmatched and nails the small town vibe. The food is also excellent, it's nothing fancy just normal American/comfort food but it's really good American/comfort food. Personally I love the build your own burgers. Also very friendly staff!
