This place is definitely a gold mine doesn't look like much from outside but the food is magnificent, in my opinion the chicken fried steak was way better then cracker barrel hands down more meat less breading. The soup with the meal was a bonus I recommend the vegetable beef soup. Thanks again and will definitely stop by when I'm in town again.

My first time being here with my wife & it's like a diner or like an old style restaurant. The food is great, it's definitely worth coming back to. Don't let the reviews scare you definitely worth the experience for yourself.

They are a mom and pop place that u have to go to. The catfish is the best thing on the menu. It's flavorful, tender, and absolutely cooked to perfection. This is a MUST place to eat!

As we arrived we were greeted by Georgio. He was very attentive during our visit. Prices were good, food was generous portions, and tasty. Can't wait to come back and try breakfast.

Nice local owned shop. I’ve been here twice but only took a pic of the cheesesteak I got the first time. I’m a big fan of local restaurants. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the cheesesteak. Too chewy for me. The second I went I ordered bacon eggs and sausage and gravy. That I did like. Wish I would have taken a picture. Even though I don’t prefer the cheesesteak, I can see myself visiting again to try other items. Both times the staff was great.

I keep seeing some of these negative reviews, and what a load of horseshit. This place is the BOMB! If you leave out of here hungry, it's your own damn fault. We have been coming here for the past 5 years, since we moved down here from Denver, and we are ALWAYS very happy with the food, the staff and the atmosphere can be quite entertaining listening to people talk about their days. So...... I'm thinking these negative people probably wanted something for free and did not get it.
