“Great little breakfast spot. Food is always delicious. Decent prices, and friendly staff. It is one of our go-to breakfast places. The Kitchen Sink Omlet is my husband's favorite, and he raves about the home made salsa. I typically get eggs/bacon/biscuits with gravy and its always cooked perfectly. And not too many places know how to properly cook grits, but this one does. Go. You won't regret it.“

“Was served dinner tonight by a very competent & personable server named Rayleigh. There’s a reason she has three stars, and soon will earn her fourth. She’s that good! Food was served promptly (thanks kitchen staff, too!), drinks were refilled before we asked, we took advantage of the $5 take-home meals. Good staff should always be recognized & commended! We wrote her name in our phone app so we know the excellent servers by name and ask for them again and again. Thanks Rayleigh, you made our dinner awesome! .see you again soon.“

“Wife and I wanted to try Slim Chicken, we have drove by it many times but never tried it. Went to the drive through and was greeted by the most professional person I have ever ordered from. He asked if we have ever been here before and gave the best explanation of the menu covering every thing. With the detail of where we can find the sauces. His name is Caleb. (Management should give him a raise and place him in as head trainer or Management training)
I ordered crispy spicy chicken sandwich with fries. The fries were cold and the sandwich was good but a little salty for my taste. And a little on the high side.“
