It was absolutely delicious! Everything I tried the fried chicken, the fish, the fried green tomatoes, it was all outstanding. It’s very clean and a very pleasing environment. The employees are very friendly. I highly highly recommend this. I drove 45 miles from Seymour to go there to eat and I will do it many more times in the future. ON a final note, the chicken and dumplings tasted just like my grandmas!

I am from Florida and searched from each town locally from where we are staying in Riceville to find that true southern cooking that makes you remember your family that is gone. This was THE place for my little family! We went 3 times in 1 week it was that good to where we didn't want to try out anything new after a lot of disappointment. They treat you like family and the food is so good and reasonably priced as well! We try to come as much as we can to TN and it will now...
