I really love this place. It was my first time stopping after passing it several times and thinking to myself, 'I really have to stop there.' That seems to happen a lot down this way. I stopped in with my son and was worried when I saw everyone eating ice cream because I thought that it was just an ice cream parlor. It turns out everything is amazing here. It has elements of a classic southern market, like hot comfort food by the container and kind personal service. There's a whole menu to consider of sandwiches and sides. Great sides, too, like fried pickles, hush puppies, and batter dipped onion rings. I got a single bacon cheeseburger, which could not have been fresher. The onion rings on the side were flaky, soft, and perfectly cooked. I can NOT wait to get back here for breakfast. I had a nice conversation at the counter with a few people. A crowd sat outside enjoying ice cream and community. Kind, helpful service. Highly recommended, thoroughly encouraged.

The Red review

Stopped for a lunch on our day travelling. Upon entering we were immediately warmly greeted and made to feel welcome. The place was clean, basic dinner food, reasonably priced, quick service, fresh and tasty food. The service was outstanding, friendly, attentive but at the same time not too in your face or annoying. Definitely will come back if I am passing again.

Love the jumbo hot dog with cowboy beans! And the pumpkin shake is my long awaited treat in the fall! Love this place for the atmosphere and kind people who care for their customers. Usually very busy place so if you want your meal fast call ahead.

Nice little place to stop alongside 29. They usually have a steam table deli with various items available. They have Hershey scoop ice cream. A bit pricy, but the food is always fresh and hot.
