“Food was amazing! I can’t say enough about how absolutely delicious it was. We ordered the Mississippi pot roast with fried squash and green beans the pot roast was so good. Kids and hubby ate burgers, chicken and fries.

“12/19/25: Server Fenisha (sp) 5:45 pm. I have been by this location going to the post office so many times and just plain missed it. It next to but under the bridge level along the river bank. Across from the Fire Department. Very inviting look to it as you approach. We parked under the bridge curbside, and felt safe in the area. Walked maybe 100 feet. Entered technically from the back into the bar area. Very warm friendly folks, not loud, big vintage chairs at the table we sat at looking out the massive beautiful windows. The restrooms are through the other side of the dinning room which is not far away, lots of history on the way back to look at. The tables in the dinning room were so intimate and quaint, the gas fireplace was on and it was perfect. We will be back to sit in that room, we just didnt want to jump ship on our server that night. The menu which is on their sites is very inviting, and price pointed far better then most. The taste was on point and the helping sizes were fairly large. It was a much-needed night out to go hide from our lives for a couple hours. We enjoyed it and we will be back, probably together, and bringing friends on occasion. I love the history of the longest running family business in the town, and the town itself. Another Tennessee gem, I give it 4.5 stars only gripe I had was they were out of shrimp and the pineapple cake. LOL Thank you team, we will update this as we visit in the future.“
