Hubby had Chicken Fried Chicken with white gravy and green beans. He loved it all. I had the Brunchin Burger, Angus patty, bacon, egg, and cheese. It was delicious and was good for two meals! We shared cheesecake for desert and took 1/2 of that home as well. Our server, Mandy, was so friendly and attentive. Really good southern style meal.

Great family owned restaurant with exceptional comfort food favorites. Attentive staff & accommodation for food allergies. Historic location in the old Katy Depot. A must stop while in Belton or for take-out on a night you don't want to cook.

Having enjoyed their food since their Nolanville food trailer days, I can confidently say every dish is a perfectly seasoned, tender, and juicy delight. It's a true explosion of flavor that has only improved over time. Beyond the fantastic food, the atmosphere is welcoming, the service is wonderful, and the owners are genuinely two of the kindest people you'll ever encounter. I wholeheartedly recommend this place!
