We were a group of 10 from out of town, upon walking in, we weren’t greeted immediately and then sat at a table. No one ever came to bring menus or acknowledge us, after sitting for more than 5 minutes we got up and walked out. The staff looked at us walking out and just watched us. The place was basically empty, just two tables with customers so we are unsure why we didn’t receive any service. Had to assume that is was because we are black. Because, why else! Terrible experience.

I pass by this place hundred time and finally decided to go in. What a great surprise! Absolutely the best friendly service, great food and even greater prices. My friend kept telling me not to post a review otherwise the word will get out and the place will be so busy we won't find a seat next time... LOL.
Breakfast was great and service was top notch with friendly experienced staff. The place has been here for many many years and even though the years show up in the decor and surroundings but I went there for the food and it was excellent with great friendly staff as a bonus. My order was exactly the way I requested it. A fruit plate to start was the extra nice surprise that you don't get anywhere else.
Come to this place and bring your friends too. We will be visiting again soon for dinner.

I ordered the lunch special with Chicken Fried steak mashed potatoes and pinto beans. Everything came out quick and was hot. I'm upset that I'm just now finding this place.

This place is horrible. The few good things about this place Plenty of places to park because the service is so bad. The table was clean and not sticky and lastly the restroom was dated but clean.

After seating ourselves (family of 4 myself included) waited 15 mins for menus and drinks. As many times as I saw.the microwave being open and closed to heat up the rolls and then to get the tea i order and it not be sweet here the tea is unsweetened & that should be a crime since we live in the south. I picked up pretty quickly that, I was being ignored. So in short I left $1.00 dollar to pay for the tea, and proceeded to walk our the door.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND COMING HERE A WASTE OF GAS, TIME AND MONEY!!

This business just recently Changed the owner.... I'm happy to see a new waitress.... Friendly & Eager to give good service.? This restaurant serves what is known as Dinner/Southern Soul food..... Their Chicken Fried Steak got a little bit smaller,.... but still hand made,.... which is the ONLY WAY that it should be made !! The pork chops were not the 'pork loin' which MADE ME HAPPY. ?? I believe that "LOIN CHOPS" CUT is TOO LEAN & DRY by the time it's cooked. The Pork Chops that I got WERE SOME OF THE
?BEST BEST?
PORK CHOPS I have had in a while.. Their green beans & mashed potatoes are good & not over seasoned. Their cook is GREAT ABOUT NOT TOO MUCH SALT !!! ?? I made a request for occasionally adding PLAIN grilled yellow squash and onions, & PLAIN BAKED SWEET POTATOES..... (dry.... just baked....)?? so
????????
The only negative might be they REALLY SHOULD CHANGE THEIR PEACH COBBLER ? RECIPE,..... the fruit,.... the breading,..... the WHOLE thing PLEASE.... also an occasional BLACK BERRY COBBLER or Apple crumble
This is a very casual/low key restaurant. They have a TV on in the back ground... good if you are eating during the evening news....lol. This restaurant may seem like an older business,..... but it's like going to visit your grandmother's house,.... & she wants to feed you with her specialties..... You must try this: "Out of the way GOLDMINE" !!!!

Not sure how I've never been here. Staff was very friendly. We came on a Sunday to try their breakfast & it was delicious. Plenty of food for the price & hot & fresh as can be. Pork chop was probably the best one I've had in a while, while my husband tried their chicken fried steak. We will be back to explore the rest of the menu. If youre in the area, give it a try!

It took way too long for our food to come out, we were getting hangry. But, once it came out, it was hot and fresh and delicious! (Except the canned green beans.) Service was friendly. Portions were big and prices were decent.
