I read the reviews. I really can't understand the bad ones. I guess life just happens sometimes. I had chicken fried steak, my wife had chicken gizzards. Food was excellent other than my CFS didn't have enough gravy. Server (Heather) was friendly and attentive. I will be back.

I found this place for lunch today. I'm in town for work. This place was packed around lunch time and those waitresses didn't let that slow em down. I never heard one customer complain and the entire staff was moving with urgency as.well as very polite and interactive with the customers. The food was great. I had the catfish and shrimp fired with taters and gravy and fries. I think the fries could of stayed in the fryer a little longer. But that's my personal opinion. it is a cash and check only place but they do have an ATM at the door. If your in the area go check em out. OH and the rolls are amazing.

The staff are happy and polite but my food was nor as I expected. The chicken liver were overdone and the tater tots were soggy. I ordered pick up to go and arrived a few minutes early. The food was hot but even the macaroni and cheese was disappointing. Being a bust Ftiday evening I will give it another try soon.

I was on the hunt for a Good Burger and was told this was the place. After my previous experience I was reluctant.
1st I almost didn't go because they don't take cards, which meant finding an ATM in a KW...
I went in and first person to say hi was Briley. She was a breathe of fresh air. Attentive, polite and a great conversationalist. The Burger was amazingly good and the onion rings above par, ask for the fresh meat, not frozen. I Wil be back, often. I'd post a picture but I ate it before u thought of it. Miss Briley is the epitome of restraint service, outstanding.

Ordered food at lunch time. It was given very busy. After waiting for the food to come, it seems like our waiter forgot to grab our order. The chicken fried steaks and onion rings were very bland.

First time and already a favorite. With Chicken Fried Steak, Frog Legs, Chicken Livers, and Gizzards on the menu, I would've expected to see some collard greens as a side.

Parking: Spaces under canopy may be too small for large vehicles; not a lot of space to get in/out of vehicle.
