Well. We sat down. No refills offered. No check brought. Just forgot us. I bought a spicy sandwich and needed a refill. We went to pay at the counter since we never received a check. They said we were supposed to get a check. I said we didn’t. I asked if they do refills. They said yes we should have been offered. I said we didn’t. Can I have a sweet tea. Our waitress came over and said we would have to wait to get checked out. She was mad I didn’t have my cup. I said no I left it because nobody ever came out to offer refills. She got me a to go cup. Shaking her head. And threw the straw at me and stormed off. AFTER I had tipped. Our first time there. After we got our food she didn’t come back even once to check on us.
Absolutely love this place. Food is great. Service is great. Pie is great.

The gravy was lumpy but the biscuits were good.
The waitress was very friendly and served the table very well. I had the meatloaf with sweet potato fries and a side salad. The whole meal was absolutely mouth-watering good!!!!! My husband had the chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and gravy, and fried pickles. He said that was so delicious!! Our daughter ate the burger and fries. And man was that patty Thick and Juicy!!! She loved it!!!!
I always want to be able to give a five star review to a small town diner. Unfortunately, this one missed the mark in a couple of areas.
I will start with the fact that my husband's burger and fries were tasty. I ordered a western omelette, but was actually served a sausage and cheese omelette. I know the waitress took note of the proper. I order because she asked if I wanted bell pepper or jalapeno, which were the choices for the western omelet.
I did not send it back as it was tasty although they browned the eggs. I was able to take off the crust around the edge. The home fries tasted as though they had been prepared in old oil or had sat, and then we're reheated. The coffee I ordered tasted fresh but wasn't anything to write home about. It was just coffee.
The restaurant it was clean as were the restrooms.
From time to time, I could smell that somebody was smoking. I am very sensitive to smoking, so it bothered my sinuses and throat.
We could not actually see anybody smoking.As there were only a few people in the restaurant, but when I went to the restroom, it turned out it was one of the employees working at a table just outside the rest room.
Unfortunately, I had to give the stars a downgrade on this one, as there were just too many fails. Brown eggs, wrong ingredients in the omelette, strange tasting, home fries and the smell of the smoke.
Hopefully, they can take this criticism and fix these problems.
Wonderful folks, amazing food, perfect coffee, cheap prices. Would give 6 stars if I could.
Fantastic food and service. Make their own pies. Chicken fried steak as big as my plate. Meatloaf was great with black eyed peas and turnip greens.
Friendly service nice folks and the food,home cooking

I was recommended the chicken fried steak by a friend and did not disappoint. Breading was excellent and the meat was melt in your mouth tender. Onion rings were also very crispy and tasty.

This was the most disgusting "restaurant" I've ever stepped inside. I've never had an experience before like I did today and honestly I'm not even sure how to process it. Atmosphere and attitudes from the workers were just extremely unsettling from the minute we walked through the door. That should have been our sign to walk right back out and I wish we would have because of what happened next. Ordered a Cobb salad and the pecans that were put on my salad were literally and intentionally rolled in gobs of lard. I swear on this!!!!! I wish I would have thought to take a picture but I was soo shocked that I didn't know how to think or act and just wanted to leave asap. Why would someone do something soo hateful to someone they don't know? You have opened a restaurant to the PUBLIC for profit. If this wasn't the case you could have told me that I wasn't welcome there and I would have taken my money and left. Instead you over-charged me on top of trying to serve me that disgusting childish hateful nasty mess I couldn't eat. Keep my money and consider your conscience and where your heart is at. God bless you!
