“Our company had an event at this location. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food. I follow Doctor Caldwell Esselstyn's diet, so the only thing I ate was one brownie bite. It was very good! Others at meatballs, crab dip, lamb, and other meat and vegetable dishes. Seating consisted of mostly small, high-top tables that seated two people with one or two with 4 seats.I believe our section of the restaurant was closed for our event.The service was excellent. Our server was very attentive to keep beverages filled.“

“Wow! The people are great here! Big smiles, greetings and I am a big fan of the newer dish called Hash. They allowed me to replace the bacon with tomatoes and it is so delicious. I also like a signature dish called The Squawking Goat that was featured on the Food Network many years ago. On a regular old day, their grits are great on their own. I would recommend this place and if you are a local, they have a Coffee Club for $35 for the year. The best value for me because sometimes on a busy morning I fly by and grab a coffee to go. The atmosphere here is lovely, older people, families, cultural diversity and a clear view of the kitchen and being able to watch the biscuits being made is always a nice moment to witness. I have been coming here for about three years now and probably tried everything by now, waffles, fritaffles, biscuits and gravy, vegetarian gravy, smash browns with salsa, Blue Grass grits bowl....just really good food.“

We got there before the lunch crowd really kicked in.The staff was very kind and friendly. I was able to sample a little of the salad I was interested in before making my decision. I already had my options in mind before arriving.I ended up getting one scoop of Kickin' Kay Lynne, and one scoop of Sassy Scotty. After tasting both, next time I will opt for two of the Kickin' Kay Lynne. It was delicious, tasty, and fresh. As we ate lunch, the staff walked around and continued to be wonderful. Our visit was such a pleasant experience.“

“This restaurant has been one of my childhood favorites in downtown. The shrimp and grits and fried green tomatoes are really good and unique here. I would also recommend trying their biscuits. One downside is the wait time, if you don't reserve ahead of time you usually have to wait a while due to their popularity. Also the later you arrive the more likely they are to not have something on the menu, for instance we arrived at 8(9 is closing time) and they didn't have the cast iron pork, meatloaf, and bistro fillet available. Other than that - great food and service!Vegetarian options: There are a few vegetarian options, but it's pretty limited“

“The food is always on point here. I eat here often as I am able. It can be a bit crowded at times but that's to be expected when you have good service and food. I always TIP the servers here, as a former waitress myself I know how slammed you can be and busy and hard working and to top it off by being kind to customers is a plus. It's a good look so I ALWAYS pay attention to how I am treated with service. I do want to recommend this place for ALL meals. Breakfast lunch dinner dessert they have it all. They serve some really delicious fried chicken! Especially the breast. It's juicy flavorful and crunchy and good! I'm a Southern woman so I gotta have fried chicken! ?? I highly recommend it. I love their burgers to and hotdogs! They always are good. those cooks don't play around. Its comfort Southern food here and the sweet tea is good. i recommend the broccoli and cheese casserole. I love the pot roast too. Y'all it's all ? good. I do want to pinpoint Heatherly as she told me she has been there 10 years. Her service is great. She has a very good attitude and is ALWAYS kind! I recommend her and if you go I'd ask for her. I didn't see her stop smiling once. I come here for breakfast and dinner so I'll keep coming here as long as it going like it is. I've never had a problem here and I'm ALWAYS treated good here. So thank you for everything! Y'all go get that fried chicken now! Recently I got sausage eggs n grits and biscuit. That biscuit is huge and good. Love those biscuits! It's filling and delicious ? ps the grilled chicken salad is bomb ?? it's huge you can't eat it all you'll have leftovers for home ? I love that ?Vegetarian options: The salads are delicious and huge!Parking: Can be crowded weekends!Kid-friendliness: It's good for kidsWheelchair accessibility: Not too much space for wheelchairs but it's Available“
