All these years we lived about 30 minutes away and never have been there... that changes now! It is worth the drive. HH & I arrived at 11:30am Thursday and the place was packed! Great sign for us. It was seat yourself, but we needed 4 seats. So while we waited by the door two men sitting at a 6 'top' table heard we would need the bigger table so they moved to a two top and gracefully gave us the 6 top. Very nice of them! Our server was the adorable MISSY! What a hoot! The visiting cousin was with her new fiancé and we were just meeting him that day. (He is a GREAT guy with a funny sense of humor... we approve;) Missy and David (fiancé) hit it off and she knew who 'pick on', and we all had great laughs! So much so that I think other people were leaning in to hear the jokes and fun stories! Cousin is GF and Missy was terrific in following up on her requests. Cousin & Fiancé each had the same breakfast eggs & meats plate that looked yummy! HH & I enjoyed our food as well. I had the Club Sandwich with tots. It was perfect! HH is a Meat loaf loving guy and heartily loved it with the fried okra. (The former TX guy loves him some fried okra)) We were having so much fun I forgot pictures of our plates All in all it was a wonderful visit made even better by Missy! 2.5 hours later we had to say good bye but agreed to be back!

I had bacon cheeseburger with onion rings, my daughter in law had the fried green tomato burger with sweet potato fries, my son had the bourbon burger with fried okra side and my other son had veggie burger with tots as his side. We started with loaded tots which had cheese and bacon and really delicious. My son said his side of tots were very salty and my grandson said his fries were frozen. I dont think they were frozen, I think they were the bottom of the barrel and overcooked and not soft. We had milk shakes, melted and floats for dessert. I wish this was in Florida by me but probably a good thing because I'd probably weigh 300 pounds.

I ordered the French toast, and it was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. My husband had the Hungry Man Burrito, and he loved it! This place completely exceeded our expectations.

Service was excellent, my order was taken quick and my meal delivered even quicker. The cakes here are sweet, delicious and bigger than your face. I added Strawberries sans whipped cream and a side of bacon for some fatty protein. This is prolly the largest diner I have ever been to. Seating is plentiful, the decor is cute and not too disruptive, and the breakfast bar has a telly. There is even a pink Caddy that serves as a table for that unique dining experience. I didn't have time to stop and shop but The Sunlight does have a gift shop tucked in the corner. I will definitely come back when I next visit. The hospitality of the staff here is off the charts!

We ended up here by mistake while meeting our son and his girlfriend in Crossville. Our original…read moremeeting spot was a different restaurant but their dog threw up in their car so they pulled into this parking lot. After dealing with the dog we checked the reviews and they were good so we decided to stay here and eat. We all really enjoyed our breakfasts. I got the breakfast with biscuits and gravy, even though she said they don't make the biscuits in house. It was very good. I also got grits and scrambled eggs. My husband got 2 eggs over easy with English muffins, bacon and grits. Our son got the breakfast with pancakes. The service was excellent and the interior was cute. Our server was really nice but I can't remember her name.

Make you wanna slap your Mama!…read more Now... before you say "it's only biscuits and gravy." You should know that I Love Biscuits and Gravy. Read my reviews and you'll see that B&G is a frequent mention, especially when I travel away from home. And if there was a Mount Rushmore for B&G, I'm would put Family Ties' up on it... right next to Mom's Restaurant in Franklin, Ohio (formerly located in Red Lion). , Small order for $4.95. Large for $5.95. I added two eggs over easy. This is 2026 pricing! The plate came out looking unassuming. I ordered a small plate which is one open face biscuit with plenty of Gravy on top. (I didn't take a pic because I was in the small booth next to what I assume is the back door. The sun was casting shadows so I missed a great photo op). Looks are deceiving. This is some seriously good stuff. So simple but Sooooooo Good. Please don't ever change this recipe. I will be back!
