Found this little place on our way to Florida. Very friendly man who owns the place also does all the cooking. His daughter, Doodle, served us and was super friendly. The pulled pork sandwich was excellent and the cole slaw was homemade and beyond any we've ever had. There is a pool table and jukebox. Our 8 yr old said he wanted to come back and eat on our way back home. Thanks for the great food!

We have been meaning to stop by here for a while. Stopped in today. Sooo good. The burger and onion rings were fabulous. The grilled catfish basket was over the top. The server was awesome. I am impressed with this establishment. From the history to the menu, it was a great restaurant.

We love to try the food that is recommended by the staff. Julie suggested the catfish - I normally do not like catfish - but they made it sound wonderful so we tried it. The fish was so good. Perfect batter. My husband loves catfish and feels this was the best he ever had. The food here is not your normal bar fare. Tasted fresh and very flavorful. Julie was very friendly and chatty. Troy (owner) was very personable and he seems to love what he does. Friendly local crowdStop in and try the full bar and kitchen. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Broke down in front of this place end of the summer. Owner and a few customers came out to see if we needed any help. Very nice chill spot to go have a hotdog and beer. We been back a few times even spending New Year’s Eve there.

I travel a lot for business. I wanted something out of the way, not the usual fast pace. I was welcomed right in and had a great burger along with a great atmosphere. The word stranger doesn't apply in this place! Made some new friends, memories and had a lot of laughs!!
