    Shrimp taco
    Melissa F.

    Cool hangout - watched the game. Not the same before they turned into the hangout but it was ok. swerved was sweet .

    Main dining room

    The smash burger was delicious. Substituted a salad for the fries ($2) and it was quite large.

    Fried deviled eggs

    Everything about this spot is fantastic. Great service, great food, great atmosphere! Got there right when they opened and they quickly filled up. I had the eggs Benedict and a Bloody Mary. I'd get both next time too. We'll be back

    a basket of fried plantains

    Cornelia Roll: tasty shredded shocker in a buffalo style sauce with a side of ranch. Yum! Fried Lasagna: square of lasagna that are battered, deep fried, stacked and topped with Marinara and Ricotta. Decadently delicious! Smash Burger w/fries: exceptionally good, even with blue cheese on it LOL Grumpy Old Man Porter: a nice find at this diner, and it un-Grumped me quite well AND... you get cotton candy with your bill

    Retro diner interior
    Kim M.

    This diner has a super cute retro interior! Our fish & chips and disco fries were tasty, and the butterfinger shake MacKenzie (sp?) makes is absolutely TDF! Friendly service made us feel right at home. Thanx, y'all!

    Brussel sprouts were so salty, I could not eat them. Fried fish (cod) was so thickly breaded, there was not much fish. Try something else

Hi, my usual 1/2 pound cheeseburger on ciabatta bread, with coleslaw and French fries.

We glanced at other tables- the blueberry pancakes at the next table looked amazing. I hemmed and hawed but being a biscuit connoisseur, I went with the country platter. Big mistake. We both ordered platters with scrambled eggs and crispy bacon. The eggs were crunchier than the bacon. Disappointingly, the biscuit was a standard frozen foot service reheat. The winner was the French toast. And, as I paid the bill, I ordered a cinnamon roll to go. It was touted as freshly made. It was just after 8am... it was dry and unappetizing. Very disappointing experience all around. We did find the staff lovely and warm. The food didn't match their energy.

You walk in, grab a tray, and you've got options. You can go through the hot bar and get served right there, pay, and be on your way... or order off the menu, sit down, and they'll bring the food to you. Very simple and efficient. The inside is spacious with plenty of seating, and there's also outdoor seating if you want it. Parking is easy too, which is a big plus, especially compared to the chaos you'll run into closer to Helen. Food wise, I always judge breakfast spots by the chicken, egg, and cheese biscuit... and this one held up. The chicken was tender, the biscuit was soft and fresh, and overall it was a solid start. The surprise for me was the hashbrown casserole. It came out good, but once I added a little salt, the flavor really popped. Definitely worth getting. The pancakes were also done right... nice crispy edges with a soft, fluffy inside. That's exactly how pancakes should be. Menu wise, they've got everything you'd expect from a Southern breakfast spot... biscuits and gravy, eggs, bacon, sausage, country ham, pancakes, omelets, and even lunch style items like burgers and plate meals if you come later. They also have a Coca-Cola fountain, which is always a win. Service was friendly, especially for early morning, and the whole place just has that comfortable, old-school home cooking feel. There is also a drive thru if you don't feel like leaving your car. Overall, this is a great spot if you want a good breakfast without the crowds. Simple, tasty, and easy.

We stopped in for brunch this week and I had my go to biscuit and gravy. This is great. Also had some good eggs and sausage on the side. Megan had a biscuit with black eyed pea gravy that was on the specials. Neither of us liked it much, it was dry and could have used some more flavor. Little City is a little out of the way but it is good, they appear to actual cook here and not just reheat some stuff, and the people are cool. I definitely will hit this every once every 6-8 weeks when in the area. I just wish they would do a better job promoting the specials, then I might come here more often!

Their biscuits are large and the grits are good. Fruit cup was fresh. Coffee is good. Also has a pastry case for take out or eat in. Daily specials on a blackboard. Service was pleasant, courteous, and food was delivered surprisingly quick for a group. Order and pay at the counter -food is brought out to you and then table service. Location -just 5 miles outside Athens in Winterville. Easy drive. Facility : intentionally slightly rustic Single room, with some outside tables also (uncovered, in the sun and facing the road) Plenty of room between tables inside and outside.
