Went in 10/23/25 ordered two sausage and biscuits she said we’re out of biscuit so I ordered on toast ,after eating and most likely 30 minutes later, another man come in and order breakfast and he got two biscuits so that’s fine won’t be back. See you at Waffle House !
One of the dingiest restaurants I've ever been into, the food was just as bland as that from Sunset restaurant. Good riddance to both of them!

The food was not up to par , The grits were cold and the home fries were sliced potatoes. The biscuits were good and the coffee was great.

This is a small southern breakfast/lunch restaurant. This is a 100% local place. Everyone knows everyone. It was so nice being here. I haven't felt the southern hospitality like that in years. I ordered the kid's breakfast of 1 sausage patty, 1 egg, and 1 slice of toast with an order of a biscuit & gravy. Gravy is homemade. I believe they used the grease from the sausage patties to make it. I'm not sure, I didn't ask. I haven't had GOOD sweet tea in a long time, my God. This was delicious. The price I paid was so worth it. My meal was $9.50, that's included the tea. I left a $3 tip for my waitress. If I'm back in town, I surely would stop here again.

Had breakfast here, the biscuits were good, the hashbrown were good, eggs good, but that brown gravy is not for me, I like milk gravy not water gravy. That is why they got 4 instead of 5 stars from me. It is a country dine in restaurant.

I recently visited Frankie's Cafe in Lebanon, Tennessee, excited to try because of their 27 years of experience. It was a mixed experience, to say the least. The bacon was cooked just right, and those biscuits? They were amazing. But then came the letdown—the gravy. It wasn't the homemade goodness I expected; instead, it felt like the kind you mix with water and powder. Such a missed opportunity!Adding to the disappointment, after they dropped off my food, there was no checking on me. No water refills, no check-ins—just nada. Even though the folks there are nice, God-fearing Christians, and that's commendable but I think they could step up their game with the food and service. In the restaurant business for 27 years, I expected a killer combination of great food and excellent service. Here's hoping they make some improvements for a better experience!
