I’m not sure how long this cafe has been around but the food was AMAZING!We sat in the back watching how the customers interacted with the employees & vice versa. It’s a warm welcoming place that has live music on the weekends.The prices are great & you get a lot of food. I ordered the 2 Pc. Lemon Pepper Chicken on Rice $9.95 with brussel sprouts & deviled eggs as my sides. It comes with a dinner roll.My friend Charity Cruz ordered the 2 Pc. Grilled Pork Chops $11.95 with mac & cheese & green beans as her sides. It comes with a dinner roll.The only small complaint we had is they brought my food out before hers & it was a good minute before hers was brought out. So the dilemma is do I start to eat my food & hope hers arrives soon or do I wait & risk mine getting cold?You don’t normally see deviled eggs on the menu as a side. I’m glad I choose to get them! They were delicious. I’m new to eating brussels sprouts (like within the last year). Every time my friend orders them she always gets balsamic vinegar. I asked our server if he had this and he said unfortunately, no. So I was a little leery since that’s how’s I’ve always now eaten them but I went ahead and ordered them anyway. They needed NOTHING additional on them because they were seasoned perfectly! These were by far the best brussels sprouts that I have ever ate.The chicken was tender and flavorful. I wish the rice would’ve had some type of seasoning in it just to give it some type of flavor. It was just rice, nothing spectacular. The chicken definitely made up for it!The pork chops were very tender, they were unfortunately a little on the bland side. She added salt, pepper and even asked for A1. If they can get it to where there is seasoning coming through those pork chops would definitely be a 10!The mac & cheese was cheesy, but it too, was a little bland. She wasn’t a fan of the green beans, she said there was a sweet taste to them. I don’t particularly like green beans but I did try them. I personally didn’t taste anything sweet to them but then again, I literally had one piece on my fork lol.We will definitely be back!

I got the cheeseburger, fries, and a side of boom boom sauce. I couldnt resist a side of fried green tomatoes. For a moment, I thought I stopped by ma's place for some lunch.

Good home cooking with good home friendliness. Reliably tasty and pleasing menu options. Really large biscuits! Our glasses never ran dry. The server was attentive and intentional. Fresh-made baked goodies with takeaway easily ordered. Today, a beautiful peach cobbler made its way to the display, still bubbling from the oven. You won't want to miss this gem!
Breakfast was pretty good. Omelets and biscuits were delicious but the gravy not so much. Even heard the gentleman talking next to us about how bad it was.All staff was great and the patrons were friendly!

One of the best diners I have been to, weekends have live music which was very enjoyable the staff was super nice, very welcoming to us transplants!!! The food, oh my goodness, the food was amazing!! Desserts that were to die for. The butterfinger cake and the cheese cake was delectable. Also be sure to speak to John Wayne the town dog if you see him. He's just as sweet as the desserts there!!!

I don’t think I’ve ever had better food even in the high dollar restaurants. It’s a place where everyone knows your name and if they don’t when you walk in, they will when you walk out. Just in Byrdstown for an overnight visit and doctor’s appointment but had three meals at this café and I wouldn’t recommend any other place.Chocolate gravy over biscuits. I’ve never heard of it before. Amazing. I don’t think that Johnny, the owner and cook for 21 years knows how to make a bad meal. From the coffee, to the breakfast, dinner and two homemade pies. I would go back to Byrdstown driving the six hours just to eat there again. Hey Johnny, I forgot to tell you on my last time in there - pie to go for the ride home, that I met your cousin Kiki at the doctors office and she said to say hello. And, your peanut butter pie was amazing and I heard no complaints from Karen about the coconut pie.Vegetarian options: lots of sides to choose from if you don’t want the burger, chicken, barbecue. I had fried green tomatoes and a tuna sandwich.Kid-friendliness: It’s just plain friendly. Everyone is family, you’ll be adopted before you know it.Parking: there are a few spaces out front directly in front of the store and a few more maybe 50 feet away from the restaurant. There are also plenty of spaces around the corner and across the street.Wheelchair accessibility: I didn’t pay attention to this, but I can tell you there are no steps to get into it from the sidewalk and parking is right out frontDietary restrictions: I don’t have any restrictions but I’m sure if you talk to any of the wonderful waitresses or Joni that they would do whatever they could to accommodate you. No question about it.

Some of the best home cooking you will probably ever see. Also extremely affordable. It was slightly empty for the first time I have ever seen. I personally enjoyed the quiet. Definitely try everything made here. You won't be disappointed.
