My 3rd trip to this awesome restaurant. I was here yesterday for lunch and this morning came back for breakfast. Their breakfast is amazing. I ate way too much and don't regret it at all. The country ham, bacon, eggs, sausage & gravy biscuit, and grits were the best ever. I asked for my server Shannon whom I had yesterday and she did another outstanding job of serving me. I live over 4 hours away from this restaurant and it is more than worth the drive from Spartanburg, SC. If you live in Zebulon you should be at this restaurant daily. Spend your money with great owners like this.

My family was forced to order the expensive breakfast buffet which was not all that good. We were hungry and arrived after church. Just wanted to order from the menu but that was forbidden since we arrived after 10:30 on Sunday. Ended up paying more than twice what I would have. Not going back!

We stopped by coming from Raleigh. They did not disappoint. Service was outstanding as well as the food! We will make additional trips and try additional menu items. Worth driving an hour for the food, service and atmosphere. BB Ribs and Hamburgers Steak as well as the sides were amazing!!!!!!

We went to this great establishment for the first time and had the most wonderful country breakfast we've had in a long while. I just think if you are ever in the area of this great establishment you should make the best decision of your day and visit this great establishment. You will definitely not regret your decision.

I wish I could give you a “0” Charged me a $23 charge for a tip and we had buffet. Food was cold, service was horrible and the manager was hateful and rude. I will NEVER bring my family back here again. No ONE deserves a $23 tip for buffet. Totally ruined our family get together. Thank you for ruining our family outting. You are beyond pathetic !!!!! Tried talking to the manager and he stood there and argued with me, not professional at all !! Definitely need a new manager. It does not matter that it’s in the menu if you are ordering buffet because you do not need a menu for buffet and the manager told me it was at the discretion of the waitress whether that 18% tip was charged or not so it could have been removed.
