    The service was friendly w/a smile from the moment we walked in the door. The food was so good. They serve breakfast and/or lunch all day long. I had a chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, fried okra, all white gravy & a biscuit & a Diet Coke.My son had 2 fried eggs, 8 oz steak, side of link sausage (3 pieces) & side of bacon (3 pieces) and coffee & a biscuit. Total w/out tip $42. We couldn't have ask for better service or food. I'll be back for sure.

    I've been here twice in recent months. I found this place with a "breakfast" search on Google maps because I was not finding much in the area that did anything for me. They open at six in the morning, and I'm a particularly early riser, so I waited until a little after six to show up and was surprised to find quite a few people already in there. Customers informed me that they generally open even earlier than six because people want in, so in they get. It's definitely a place for local regulars. Everybody seems to know everybody. Two stark differences in my pair of visits. When I find myself in a place like this, I tend to sit at the counter and just keep to myself. On the first visit, a woman sitting a couple seats away made it her personal mission to include me in the banter and started introducing me to everybody. We ended up sharing jokes and having a grand ole time. The second visit, I sat at the counter again, and when somebody two seats away left, the guy next to me immediately moved one seat away from me like I hadn't showered or something. I'm not offended by this. I know what kind of place I'm in, and I don't ever want to force myself into such a tight knit group. Now let's get to the constants and the good: Lorri runs this place and I believe is the owner. She is a no-nonsense type person, but even if you're an outsider like me, she makes darn sure that you're taken care of on every aspect of your meal. She even gave me a to-go cup of coffee for the drive back to my hotel after I'd finished eating! I got the steak and egg breakfast both times, which I believe is in the fifteen or sixteen dollar range. At that price, I expect the steak to neigh and winnie when I stick my fork in it, but people of Yelp, I'm here to tell you that I believe Lorri has kidnapped a team of culinary elves from parts unknown because this steak is mind blowingly good for the price. Like I didn't feel as though I was "settling" for a lower quality breakfast in exchange for a lower price. This thing was TASTY! Out the door with coffee and tip, the steak and egg runs me about twenty five dollars. I asked Lorri how she makes such good food for such low prices. She exhaled, and said it's getting tough. I hope this place is able to weather the inflationary storms of the day and continue on, even if it's primarily catering to a regular crowd of locals. When you see a special place like this, you know. We need more Cafe USAs in this world and fewer Denny's/IHOPs/Awful Waffles. Thanks Lorri and crew. I'll certainly be back.

    Love the patriotic atmosphere Staff is friendly . The fried pickles are spears which are different hamburger was fresh and tasty.

    This place is USA all the way. We had a nice breakfast at exceptional prices. The staff was kind. I would not recommend the French toast as it was not very good in my opinion.

    Quesadillas

    This sweet man came and catered at our wedding! And he made all kinds of food especially his world famous catfish and made us our special request of quesadillas and nachos we would recommend him in a heartbeat! And he made the ambience so heartwarming!

A quick look at Yelp showed Strawn's Eat Shop listed at number one in diners locally. The inside is a mix of old timey and funky with lots of creative murals painted on the walls. We quickly received our drinks and ordered. Our waitress was outstanding but I didn't get her name. Our food was soon there and we dug in. My chicken fried steak was good but the mashed potatoes and cornbread were the stars. I'm not a big fan of salad or green beans but they were pretty good for vegetation. My wife enjoyed her catfish basket. She prefers cornmeal on catfish over flour breading and was pleased with the crispy cornmeal and the generous portion. Now for the main event. Pie! Strawn's is known for their strawberry pie and for good reason. It was the best strawberry pie that I have ever eaten. The whipped cream topping was transcendent and paired perfectly with the strawberries. My photo does not do this pie justice. My wife went with coconut pie and while it was very good the strawberry was the winner. Looking forward to returning to Straw's Eat Shop in the future.

The room was beautiful in a quiet, elegant way, thoughtfully put together, warm and welcoming. And the people... every single waitress greeted us with kindness, but Miss Tammy -- oh, she was something special. The kind of person who makes you feel like you've known her forever. So sweet, so genuine, the kind of service you don't forget. The food came out and from the very first bite, it was clear this was a place that cooks with love. The eggs, the omelet, the French toast -- everything tasted like comfort. And then there was the millionaire bacon -- perfectly caramelized with brown sugar and just a touch of chili flakes. Sweet, smoky, with a gentle heat that teased your taste buds like heaven. Absolutely unforgettable. The portions were generous in the best way, and the prices were more than fair, especially for a breakfast that leaves you full and happy. But listen... the coffee. That coffee wrapped around you like a warm blanket. And then came the meat pies -- crispy, flavorful, absolutely unforgettable. Paired with those potatoes -- golden and crisp on the outside, soft and tender on the inside -- perfectly made, just the way they should be. The owner was there today too, sitting with friends, laughing and enjoying himself, and somehow that made the place feel even more real -- like you were stepping into a slice of everyday life, not just a restaurant. If you're looking for a true southern breakfast, a place with heart, warmth, and soul -- this is it. This is where you go when you want to feel something, not just eat. We'll be back. Without a doubt. And Miss Tammy -- thank you. You made the day brighter than you know.

Ordered our food at that time. We checked in at the 40 minute mark and come to find out that our food still wasn't ready. Apparently the waiter put the order in on the wrong name - so that had to be fixed. And then when it was fixed they had a large party in front of ours that needed to be prepared first before ours. Needless to say we have now been sitting in this restaurant for over an hour with a cup of coffee and no food. If you want a quick breakfast spot, this is not the place. I would not recommend coming here with children because I cannot imagine them waiting patiently for an hour for breakfast. I have yet to receive our food even after writing this long review. But any place where you have to wait this long to get some eggs and a pancake I cannot recommend.
