Quaint mom and pop restaurant that serves great home cooked food. If you are looking for a deal try their daily lunch special. Three options for main course, several options for sides (you get to choose three), plus bread, tea and a dessert.

This was our first time here. If you're looking for an old school dinner, you found it. Diamond in the rough. Love this place!

When passing through Paris I wanted a local place for breakfast and this came up as the first/closest recommendation. It is the perfect local small business spot. It would be easy to miss as you drive by but glad I sought it out. My only quibble was the hash browns. Not just cold, but had the taste of being leftovers. Not a hash brown fan to start with so not a deal breaker. Loved that they knew their regulars and took time to chat with everyone.

Tremendous food, great atmosphere, perfect price! An excellent stop.
Nice place had a great breakfast 😋 fast friendly service.
This diner is the kind of place that feels like a warm welcome the moment you step in—very small-town Texas through and through. The place was hopping, which is always a good sign, and the service was fantastic. The staff were friendly, quick with refills, and made you feel right at home.
The food? Classic diner fare done right. My meal hit the spot without trying too hard, and it’s clear they know their way around comfort food. But then came the cobbler… and wow. I’ve got a sweet tooth, but this was *next level*. It was like they measured the sugar with a snow shovel. A bit too much for me, but if you're into desserts that make your dentist nervous, this one's for you!
The only thing that gave me pause was the cleanliness—nothing too wild, just that well-worn diner vibe that makes you wonder when the deep clean is scheduled. But honestly, it kind of adds to the charm. It’s not a shiny chain restaurant; it’s the real deal.
All in all, I’ll definitely be back. Good food, great service, and that small-town feel you can't fake. Just maybe next time, I’ll skip the cobbler or bring my own insulin.
Very good country food.
