I'm reminded of an older homey diner, plenty of seating, plenty of staff assisting. Pre-pay, get seated, order you drinks and choose from so many southern dishes. The presentation was that of a cafeteria mixed with mix n match buffet equipment, I think this played part on how I choose my food. They home style choices were numerous so definitely something for everyone. What I did love about this restaurant, it was definitely serving the local community and based on the number of larger, multi generational families seen together it was truly heart warming. I think this environment is much better than a stuffy environment and great to see a community supportive of the locals. Close to Hwy 27 so in the mood for a large meal or just some home style cooking give it a try. Finally don't forget to pick up some local honey or goods.

We ordered: Potato skins - pretty tasty, cheese, bacon, and green onions were plentiful and they were cooked through so the potato was tender. This is served with sour cream; we added salt and pepper to help the flavor. Ribeye steaks - perfectly cooked medium rare with that grill flavor, really delicious, tender steak. Sides: baked potato w/ butter and sour cream - again perfectly prepared. Broccoli - steamed and solid offering. Salad - both had fresh ingredients, nothing wilted or "old" veggies, again - solid. Complimentary rolls and butter - my son devoured these soft pillows of carbohydrate sin. Our waitress wasn't very "present" - we waited for refills, check, and had to ask her to remove the app and salad dishes that were piling up. Overall a very good experience because the food out weighed the mediocre service.

The beets were fresh and the goat cheese carried so much flavor. For the desserts, we got the carrot cake with pecans and chocolate cheesecake. Both were soooo good. I would get both of them again, especially the carrot cake which was so warm and moist. And the candied pecans were such a nice complement to the cake - not too sweet at all. The ambience is super nice and fresh, and our server was so sweet and engaging. The hostess as well. Everybody there was so nice and welcoming.

When I was in town at lunch time I was happy to see it was back open and serving dine in blue plate specials once again. This place used to be like a mom and pop meat and three lunch spot with really good food. Now they have a dedicated blue plate menu that doesn't change day to day like it used too. Now lunch is on a steam table for hot food and refrigeration cases for cold items that you serve yourself from which I'm ok with. Then once you have made your plate you take it up front to be weighed and are charged accordingly. Now I'll say I'm a fan of this unique concept. I didn't have to choose between hamburger steak and chicken tenders, I was able to have a little of both, with okra, mashed potatoes and Lima beans for $14 dollars. Certainly not bad. All in all as you can see from the picture the food to price ratio is a big selling point on this concept and probably a big factor in sustainability of clientele. Sadly the food quality has suffered a tad from the great place it once was but it's still a pretty solid meal spot, good but not great.

So, I have never left a bad review for a restaurant in my life. I am pretty easy going as a guest…read morein any establishment, but having been in the food industry for the entirety of my career, I am sure to be extra forgiving. That being said, I ran into a couple things here that I just found unacceptable. It was a hot day today, almost 100 degrees not considering the heat index. My fiancé, 6 month old son and myself were very excited to come inside and cool off with a cold drink and some air conditioning. We were sat in a lounge with no fans or AC whatsoever and my son and I started sweating within minutes. Not the end of the world but it did put a damper on the overall atmosphere and experience. It took a while for us to be greeted by our server who was kind. We placed our drink orders and got that back pretty quickly, then we placed our appetizer order. It took almost 15 minutes after placing our appetizer order before we saw our server again. Mind you, it was busy and noticeably understaffed. We got the cheese curds and over half of them were completely empty ! The selling point on the menu is that you receive a "half pound of cheese curds". This was not the case. My son was eating and entertained so we weren't too chuffed about it. We placed our food order and it was about 45 minutes until our food came out. I noticed after placing our food order with our server, she made rounds around the restaurant before putting our food in. As a server myself, that's just not the order of operations. Putting in a ticket takes less than 2 minutes. Put the food in and then make your rounds to check on everyone. Not quite unacceptable, but we were hungry, have a young baby and we wanted out of the heat badly. When my food came out I was worried about how everything looked. I ordered a blackened catfish plate and my fiancé had a blackened shrimp po boy. My catfish was not blackened but it had a noticeable layer of seasoning on it. I would say 1-3 cm of just seasoning on top of my fish with no char/blackening. It literally sloughed off of the fish. I pecked at the sides which I was not impressed with. Fries were unique but not crisp enough, and the slaw tasted like it was made with apple juice. Once I took a bite of my catfish I couldn't help but make a face. My fiancé was genuinely shocked because I am NOT picky. I'll eat just about anything. I scraped some of the slimy layer of seasoning off and gave it another bite and was equally put off. Last bite I took was with the "house remoulade" and I audibly gagged. Never in my adult life have I done that ! Super embarrassed and I knew I couldn't force myself through the plate. I had to wait another 30 minutes before our server checked in and I had to tell her I was grossed out and could not eat my food. She apologized and gladly comped the item off our ticket, which I appreciated. She asked if they could make something else for me, and I politely declined saying the baby is tired and we're all hot and ready to go. She brought the ticket to me and I immediately gave her my card. I watched her go outside, to the bar, and around the dining room with my check/card. She returned other tables checks before mine while she had collected them after mine. It made no sense to me, and I was getting fed up at this point as I was sweating bullets and the baby was melting down. While the po boy looked nice and was loaded up with shrimp, we were a little disappointed that it didn't come with a side considering the $17 price tag. He tried a piece of shrimp by itself and almost spit it out. He gave the whole sandwich a try and said it worked better with everything all together. This is obviously a place locals enjoy and I can tell many people have enjoyed their experiences here ! I wanted to share mine so people could be prepared for the possibility of understaffing and to avoid the blackened fish/seafood.

I know people love Champys around here but we love hot chicken and this place does it best…read more No frills, simple restaurant with 10 or so tables. You walk in and you choose your table and a nice waitress will bring your menus. We like the chicken strip basket which comes with two sides. Of our favorites are the fries, the collard greens, green beans, and mac and cheese. The chicken strips are very crispy, the meat is just a little dry but the flavor is great with even the mild level heat having nice heat. We also got the catfish which has a perfect crust and perfectly cooked inside. The baskets come with sauce and you get two per order. Probably more than you'll need. You get great food for an affordable price. Good Southern service. Just all around one of our faves.

We were told to seat ourselves and our menus would be brought to us. After a short wait, the bartender/server came to take our drink order and food order. We both ordered the mild heat chicken tender special (3 tenders and fries for $7). We also added a veggie plate so we could try the Mac and cheese and greens. Our food arrived after a few minutes. The tenders were cooked fresh and were piping hot when they arrived. The chicken was dusted with mild heat seasoning. Outside of that seasoning, they weren't seasoned with anything else. We both remarked that we've had better Nashville hot tenders and better tenders in general. The Mac and cheese was just okay but the greens were the star of the meal. They were flavorful, meaty and had just enough kick to keep things interesting. Good meal overall. I recommend that you try them out. We will return to try other menu items.

I was extremely pleasantly surprised by my dinner here. It was phenomenal from the decor, seating,…read morevibes, menu, and service. I was alone and asked for a quiet table in the back - I looked at the patio which was really nice and spacious, but it was about 95 degrees so I chose to sit inside due to that. I was seated at a nice booth alone with tons of space and a friendly waitress came to explain the menu to me and take my order. I had a mocktail made that was very good - and they only charged $5 for all mocktails which I appreciate. As a non-drinker it irritates me to pay $13-18 for juice that doesn't even have alcohol. I chose the house salad and it was by far the best I've ever had. Loaded with fresh veggies, delicious dressing, cheese and some breadcrumbs I think. Great size and portion for the price and fabulous combination of items. I chose the salmon with peaches and cream couscous. The salmon itself was wonderful - but that couscous was so good, I could not stop eating it. It had corn and fresh peaches and it was the perfect combination of salty and sweet. For dessert - I went with the Chocolate Bomb.com but found it to be wayyyyy too salty with the toffee, salt, and combo. I wish I'd gotten their famous cheesecake but, next time! Loved everything about this spot. Very elegant and no portion of my food wasn't clearly well planned and carefully prepared. Highly, highly recommend.

The ambiance, especially the bar area is beautiful and can feel somewhere between an elevated casual to mid-high end experience.

The food is so good here, there is no reason this place shouldn't be absolutely packed on a Sunday.
