    Wonderful place. We watched the inauguration here. First time there. Owner is the best. And the ladies working there are super friendly and sweet. The food was delicious. The people were really laid back and friendly. This is a local place which we longed for. We Will be back. Like today!!!

    Stopped here for dinner on a Monday with my husband. We sat inside and they seemed pretty busy for…read morea Monday. Music was playing on and off which made the vibe a little weird. Service was okay, could have been more attentive but overall not terrible. All food came out decently quick after ordering. We got the garlic bread and calamari appetizers. They both came with a very generous portion of marinara sauce, especially the garlic bread. We also got teriyaki wings and a pork tenderloin sandwich. The wings were great and a good size. I asked for extra crispy and they delivered just that. I love that the side of blue cheese it came with was a big, suitable size for the large wings. My husband really enjoyed his pork tenderloin sandwich and said it was the best one he's had to far from any restaurant. Overall a good experience here. I feel like Fort Myers lacks nice casual restaurants like this one. We will definitely return and try outside seating next time. :)

We were there during their happy hour and wanted to take advantage of it but the $4 margaritas were disappointing. Felt like it was all margarita mix and no alcohol at all. I get that it's a $4 margaritas and I wasn't expecting a craft cocktail but it should still be a margarita. Another disappointment were the wings. I felt like the tables and layout of the place felt a little crowded. Overall, not really my vibe so in all honesty it's not going to be one of my regular spots.

    It's busy here! But still so friendly and nice! And filled with country charm! Now about the food!…read more Coffee is excellent! A pleasure! We tried a few things for brunch and loved all of them! The catfish was excellent as well as the old country favorite- chicken fried steak! We also really loved the biscuits and corn bread. The sides were out standing as well! We had macaroni and cheese, fried okra, sweet potato soufflé and collard greens. Each one was perfect! We really loved this place and would be delighted to return anytime!

The mashed potatoes and gravy were also just what I was looking for. The other side I chose was corn fritters - just ok but perfectly fine, although more batter to corn ratio would have made them more desirable. Hubby had the chicken fried chicken and he loved it and his sides of potatoes and mac n cheese. Our family had fried chicken and they thought it was crispy outside, fried well and juicy inside. They also ordered a grilled ham and cheese with a side salad. Didn't get a ton of feedback on the meal but the plate was pretty well cleaned off when we got up! Our waitress was fast, efficient and really sweet. She quickly brought to go containers for our food and drinks. The ambiance of the restaurant gave it a very homey and rural feel, which was just fine with us. It sits nexts to the state farmers market which was not running during our visit. However it was still busy when we sat down to eat at 2 pm. Recommend it!
