    Great food! Great service! When I visited they have always treated me good and it's definitely the best place to eat in Holly Pond.

    We placed a to go order, over the phone. (It was difficult to even get them on the phone to begin…read morewith ) It took 4 calls, before the phone was even answered. When I arrived to get the food, *of course* I was prompted to tip for take-out. & YES, I did (even though you don't really deserve an $8 tip for *messing up on BAGGING an order). But, that's another rant for another time. 5 minutes down the road, we found we were missing an item on this $50+ order. AGAIN, We both called multiple times each, before the phone was answered. I explained we were *coming back*, because we were missing an order of onion rings. She said 'Okay, just bring the bag & receipt back in with you.' I get there, the original gal who helped me, would not speak to me or look at me. This really irks me because I gave this gal $8 tip for her to not even FIX her OWN mess--up. A different gal helped me. Proceeded to wait 15+ minutes for them to get the onion rings. Meanwhile, a couple standing at the counter begins looking thru OUR bag thinking it may be there to go order. Get the onion rings, go home, all our food is cold. Husband said the onion rings were not worth that ordeal. I am really bummed about this experience because I like to support LOCAL, and I LOVE the fried mushrooms & wings here. But, this has made me feel like I will no longer be generous on tipping *to-go orders*. If there was a way to rescind that tip, we surely would have because it was absolutely not handled in a way that merits us doing it again. ANSWER your PHONE. I am not trying to sell you an extended warranty or a time-share. & Don't expect people to be OK with paying for your mess ups. This is a prime example of why we will no longer participate in tipping culture for to-go orders.

    Stopped for lunch one day while in Cullman. We missed the lunch rush, place was pretty empty…read more Server was very friendly and efficient. She appeared to be handling the whole front by herself, but made us feel like we were the only ones there. Decor is like that of a "RoadHouse" feel. Apparently they have live music on a posted schedule. Looked like that would be a fun time to visit. Options were standard southern style meat and three options or menu choices. Wife had vegetable plate, I had the pulled pork plate. Bar-B-Que was tender and flavorful. Not bad for a non specialist Bar-B-Que restaurant. 2 flavors of sauce on the table, a sweet and spicy sauce, either would be an excellent choice. There were only 2 meat options offered, don't know if that's the norm, or we were there so late after lunch they had sold out of other options. Will definitely be back there again. I would like to try and catch one evening with the live music is scheduled.

    Not bad but not great…read more Had the FGBLT (fried green tomato BLT). It's an interesting take on the traditional BLT. The bacon overpowered everything else. The fries are gross. Greasy with an odd sweet seasoning? Like paprika blended with sugar. Kiddo had the chicken club. He really liked it. The addition of pimento cheese was interesting in a good way. He did not eat his fries, this kid always eats his fries. I liked the vibe of the place, they do live music and that's cool. The service (or lack thereof) is the reason for the 3-star rating. Our server vanished. Never once checked on us, we had to wait 15 minutes after eating for our check. It was so bad that we had to wave down another server to finally get the check.

Philly omelette- very good but I wish I order it with 2 eggs over easy or sunny side up instead. Very good but the Philly cheesesteak and Trash Can with a lid stole the thunder. So so good, we return the next day. And I got the Trash can with a lid with both spicy sausages and Philly cheese. Yummy!

Thankfully free parking was available. I walked in at the perfect time, just as the breakfast grill was shutting down and the lunch grill was heating up. I was 5 minutes pass breakfast, as told by the waitress. She was so kind and told me that she would ask, if they (he) could prepare a breakfast for me. The answer was yes, but no grits. Oh well, let's try the omelette and hash brows. I'm really not into hash browns but these were delicious! Crispy and perfectly round. The omelette was also good and fluffy. The coffee was a good robust cup of coffee. This is a real old school diner. Counter seats with a few booths to the side. No frills here. Decent diner food with great friendly service. By the time I finished my breakfast, the lunch crowd was starting to come in for a seat at the counter and booths. I heard someone say, this is the best Philly cheesesteak in the area. Anyways, this was a pleasant place to have a good simple meal with some awesome service. The only reason I'm not giving 5* is because of not being able to get the grits, which was my fault for not getting there a little sooner. I will definitely come back.
