I’ve eaten here many times before, but not since new management had taken over. The service was wonderful all the staff was amazing. Atmosphere as always was very family oriented and loving, warm and welcoming. Food was ok, the popcorn shrimp was the best I’ve had so far I will say that. And the buffalo chips were really good! Portions are slightly small though for the fish (maybe just the day we went on). Overall good experience!

Just good small town eating with servings bigger than you should eat at prices that are more than fair.

Staff was very friendly, the wings and hamburgers were fantastic, and the amount of fries for only $4 was incredible, a true southern family dinner, 10/10 recommend if your in the area

Awesome little place with great food. And the employees were super friendly. The cheese burgers are great hand pressed patties with whatever you want on it. The fries were pretty tasty too just the right amount of crispyness and seasoning. The fried dill pickle chips with their homemade ranch sauce ohh myyy the best I have ever tasted!! Loved all the food ate to much and brought some left over fried pickle chips back for a midnight snack…

This ain't a fancy-pants dinner, but a hidden gem for delicious, down-home cooking! A real mom and pop hole in the wall. Definitely off the beaten path but if you're ever in the area, passing through or out hiking (hanging rock area) stop by for a meal. Place looked closed when we first pulled up it was just the tinted windows. Super nice lady helped us out. GET THE FLOUNDER! It was amazing!!!! So moist tender and flaky great flavor perfect balance of fish to breading. The portions were huge! We got a basket of fried pickles and couldn't finish them. We were really hoping we could get a basket of hush puppies but the other table had ordered the last 3 baskets. Each basket could've fed a whole family and they said they were really good. The onion rings were huge and perfectly battered. Unfortunately we shouldn't have gotten the mushroom burger it wasn't worth it, it was pretty bland and kinda soggy. Stick to the incredible seafood and you won't be disappointed! This hidden gem may be off the beaten path, but it's worth the detour. Side note bathrooms could use an update but clean enough especially if you just got done hiking.

The food was good, i got the cheeseburger with a side of fried okra. The cheeseburger was moist and perfectly cooked, the okra was made in the restaurant and hot when it came out. The homemade chips were crispy and delicious. We paid only thirty-seven dollars for two peoples entrees, sides, drinks, a appetizer, and a side of onion rings to try. Overall 10/10 for good food with plentiful portions:-)

Ordered the special for lunch … 2 people….. 30 dollars plus tip ? nice people and friendly but they have really jacked up prices … can’t afford to eat there anymore … 34 dollar lunches are out of my league …

2nd time there, 2nd time i got the BBQ platter and the hush puppies were the winner. I'll go once more to try the wings but do you guys need cooks? Petty owners can't take simple preference criticism ? grow up.

Great experience! Always have passed this restaurant when going to Hanging rock State Park to hike. We were hungry and thought about eating here. Came by and building was looking ok but the food is delicious! One of the best Philly steak sub I ever had! Will definitely be coming back for dinner. Living 26 mins away. Don’t assume how good food is by the building itself. Great service experience.

This was the worst place I’ve ever eaten. The staff stood around making me wait 20 minutes before bringing me a menu and they cut off the breakfast menu at 10am making me order a lunch meal. The hamburger was as dry as dirt as well as the French fries both soaked up the ketchup so badly that the meal was not fit for consumption. It’s hard to believe that people would let this place stay in business. Do yourself a favor and drive by and find another place with better food..
