This is the only restaurant for many miles in the immediate area. The hamburgers and fries are the…read morespecialty here and those are definitely what they do best here. The fries are good and crisp with a nice flavor while the burgers are nice sized, juicy and flavorful. I've gotten the steak they offer here and I wouldn't do so again and I highly suggest sticking with the burgers. They also have quite a selection of desserts here which are generally good but I've also had one of the worst cheesecakes I've ever had here before too as it seemed it was half cold and half hot and all blah. On my last visit I was also a bit grumpy over the fact they were out of lemons for my iced tea. As this is about the only venue in the area quite a few local characters frequent this establishment. You can definitely observe some interesting folks and hear some local dialect to give you an experience unlike anywhere else but this little corner of rural Mississippi. As long as you stick with the burger and fries you should have a fine experience here and you might even get the pleasure of meeting some really friendly people.

A country gem found by taking the path less traveled. I stumbled upon this diner/bakery while…read moredriving backroads for work. I originally stopped here because I saw sign for a bakery. Around lunchtime they serve plate lunches from their special of the day or your choice of menu items. I've been here a couple of times and they really represent country love in their food #soulfood. Traditional cooking is well represented in their bakery items as well. From pies, cheesecake, to cookies, and chess squares, their desserts reminds me of Sunday dinner at Mawmaw's. They will cater too- I haven't used them yet, but will review when I do.

This place is amazing. Easy five stars. After ordering the Foothills Creole Burger and waiting for…read moreit to come out, my coworker and I saw the buffet options. We somehow missed the large white board up front advertising the buffet options for the day. We started to regret not ordering the buffet, but we were reassured that if the buffet looked as good as it did, our burgers would not disappoint. And it was so. The Foothills Creole Burger was phenomenal. Easily one of the top 5 best burgers I've ever had, maybe top 3, if I could remember all of them. I might go back looking at food pics just to try to rank burgers. . . What was so good about it? The agglomeration of hearty, quality, southern ingredients with extra pizzazz. 8 oz angus chuck patty topped with Swiss cheese, fried green tomatoes, onion rings, and fried shrimp smothered with house crawfish sauce on a toasted jalapeño potato roll. Oh and the southwest chicken egg rolls were a slam dunk too. Quality ingredients, hearty portions, and one-of-a-kind creativity. Take me back!

They had ZERO desserts besides the cake/cheesecake on display. The young girl that met us at the…read morecake counter and checked us out afterward was rude and clearly uninterested in helping anyone. When we initially asked for a couple of desserts that were featured on the menu, she bluntly and rudely stated "All we have is what you see in this case." To top off the poor interaction, when we checked out, two pieces of cake were OVER $20. I had to think back and reassure myself I wasn't somewhere like the Cheesecake Factory. Despite the ridiculous price, this is not the first rude interaction we have had here with this young girl specifically.

It is only open for lunch from 11-2pm Tuesday through Saturday. We made sure we got in line a few minutes before 11am. Yes a line, so get there early. The doors opened right at 11am and you order from the counter and have a seat. The staff is welcoming and assist with the line and seating to have everything move smoothly. The prices were not bad at all and we got alot of food. The fried chicken is out of this world. A must get. You won't regret it. It is so flavorful with crispy skin, yet moist chicken. Also, it is not super greasy which was my favorite part. I enjoyed the green beans and corn on the cob. The jalapeño corn bread was amazing! My mom got the black eyed peas, mac n cheese, and regular cornbread with her fried chicken. She raved about the black eyes peas. We also ordered banana pudding and Mrs. Pearl's Cheesecake. The banana pudding was my favorite and a great sweet treat to round out my southern meal. The inside of the diner is not very large but does have plenty of seating inside and some outside. While we did not see Mrs. Pearl, her sister greeted us and was definitely running the diner while we were there.

Now, for the record, I love non-corporate truck stops, and there are still many out there, but they are a dying breed, especially when they feature a mom and pop diner. I've now been here on two separate occasions, and it hasn't disappointed me either time. The place has a kind of late 70s/early 80s charm to it. Tables on tile floor, art painted on wood trimmed walls. Feels comfy and familiar to me. My first go around, was late in the evening, and I was feeling breakfast, so I strolled up to the counter and looked at the menu. I'm a sucker for a good omelette, so I went with the Western omelette, and smothered it and the hash browns both in country gravy, so that's what I ordered. One of the things I love about truck stops is the large portions for a good price, and in today's economy, there's nothing wrong with that. I paid for the omelette, and found a table, and a few minutes later the girl who took my order brought it to me, with an exceptionally large glass of water. I dug into it, and while the egg was a little thin and not quite fluffy enough, it was stuffed with enough peppers, onions, sausage, bacon and cheese to make it filling enough on its own. The toast and hash browns were just a little something extra. But I ate every bite on that plate. That gravy was worth the extra cost and tied the whole thing together nicely. I was sated, and perhaps a little food drunk when I left. Today, I tried the Chili Cheese fries. Again, I paid at the counter and again they brought it to me, with that large glass of water accompanying it. The chili was obviously homemade and was of the beef variety without a bean to be found, there was plenty of cheese on it, and onions too! (Which I added to it.) it also was delicious and well portioned. Both times here, the service was friendly and great, and I left feeling full. Absolutely no complaints about this place. And since it's on my work route, I'm sure I'll be there again to try other things.
