First of all, the people are very happy, delightful, friendly, super sweet. My son noted that neither the floor, nor the tables, were sticky!! That's pretty exceptional for a place like this. (It had been opened for 22 years). We considered ordering Po Boys and other sandwiches, but this is Hamburger Happiness, so it had to be hamburgers - or cheeseburgers on our case. They had a special with a burger, any side and a soft drink, I got a small cheeseburger, my son got the large. The burgers come with lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles and mustard. Mayo can be added. I had mine with no pickles and extra mayo. My son removed the pickles and the onions. The bun to meat ratio was perfect, although I don't think the bun was toasted (not a huge deal). Burger was really hot with cheese well melted. Veggies were still crisp. I had Cajun fries and Ford had onion rings. Both were really good. Don't miss this "hole in the wall ".

Some places don't just feed you -- they stay with you…read more Today I walked into this little restaurant and instantly felt at ease, like it was already familiar somehow. The room was beautiful in a quiet, elegant way, thoughtfully put together, warm and welcoming. And the people... every single waitress greeted us with kindness, but Miss Tammy -- oh, she was something special. The kind of person who makes you feel like you've known her forever. So sweet, so genuine, the kind of service you don't forget. The food came out and from the very first bite, it was clear this was a place that cooks with love. The eggs, the omelet, the French toast -- everything tasted like comfort. And then there was the millionaire bacon -- perfectly caramelized with brown sugar and just a touch of chili flakes. Sweet, smoky, with a gentle heat that teased your taste buds like heaven. Absolutely unforgettable. The portions were generous in the best way, and the prices were more than fair, especially for a breakfast that leaves you full and happy. But listen... the coffee. That coffee wrapped around you like a warm blanket. And then came the meat pies -- crispy, flavorful, absolutely unforgettable. Paired with those potatoes -- golden and crisp on the outside, soft and tender on the inside -- perfectly made, just the way they should be. The owner was there today too, sitting with friends, laughing and enjoying himself, and somehow that made the place feel even more real -- like you were stepping into a slice of everyday life, not just a restaurant. If you're looking for a true southern breakfast, a place with heart, warmth, and soul -- this is it. This is where you go when you want to feel something, not just eat. We'll be back. Without a doubt. And Miss Tammy -- thank you. You made the day brighter than you know.

Ordered our food at that time. We checked in at the 40 minute mark and come to find out that our food still wasn't ready. Apparently the waiter put the order in on the wrong name - so that had to be fixed. And then when it was fixed they had a large party in front of ours that needed to be prepared first before ours. Needless to say we have now been sitting in this restaurant for over an hour with a cup of coffee and no food. If you want a quick breakfast spot, this is not the place. I would not recommend coming here with children because I cannot imagine them waiting patiently for an hour for breakfast. I have yet to receive our food even after writing this long review. But any place where you have to wait this long to get some eggs and a pancake I cannot recommend.

"Neighbor, how long has it been since you've had a big thick steaming bowl of Wolf Brand Chili?"…read more If it's been too long for you, never fear...this place will serve it up for you, in all its greasy gloriousness. We were in town for a concert, looking for a place to eat dinner before the show. We first tried Maggie & Lucy's, and although they have great reviews on Yelp, they were also very busy and had one waitress. It was also very hot inside, so we moved on to Johnny B's. Mistake. The outside is messy and appears neglected. The windows are so dark, at first we doubted if they were even open. The inside smells like their grease hood is not working. I was not very hungry, so I asked the waitress about the chili. She said that the chili hamburger is one of their most popular dishes. I didn't want the burger, just a bowl of chili. Mike ordered a simple burger and fries. His order came out fairly quickly, but it was taking longer for my bowl of chili. As I sat there waiting, I saw the cook place a disposable bowl on the pass. The waitress disappeared around the corner, and appeared about two minutes later with the chili in a proper bowl. She obviously microwaved the chili. Mike's burger was edible, but the fries were rubbish. They were greasy and tasteless, even after a crap ton of salt. Not crispy at all. The chili may not BE Wolf Brand, but they have mixed WB in with it because it tastes exactly like WB. The waitress was pleasant-ish and seemed friendly, but despite the fact that she could see I took two bites of chili and there were a pile of fries on Mike's plate, she NEVER asked how our meal was. Fair warning: The check-out process in this place is unlike anything I've seen anywhere. When you are finished eating, you go to the counter, where the waitress is. She tells you what you owe, and then asks "Would you like to add a tip?", if you respond "Yes", she asks "How much?" Seriously? I guess it's a great way to shame people into giving you a larger tip than they ordinarily would have, but come on. This is 2025. Purchase an iPad or decent POS. Just to be clear, my daughter is a waitress/restaurant manager and I know how hard she works for her money. I standardly tip 20% unless the service was really awful, and then I tip 15%. We were the only table in the place. After seeing we did not like the food, would a simple "Was everything okay?" be out of order? Be better, Johnny B's. Be better.

The inside is a mix of old timey and funky with lots of creative murals painted on the walls. We quickly received our drinks and ordered. Our waitress was outstanding but I didn't get her name. Our food was soon there and we dug in. My chicken fried steak was good but the mashed potatoes and cornbread were the stars. I'm not a big fan of salad or green beans but they were pretty good for vegetation. My wife enjoyed her catfish basket. She prefers cornmeal on catfish over flour breading and was pleased with the crispy cornmeal and the generous portion. Now for the main event. Pie! Strawn's is known for their strawberry pie and for good reason. It was the best strawberry pie that I have ever eaten. The whipped cream topping was transcendent and paired perfectly with the strawberries. My photo does not do this pie justice. My wife went with coconut pie and while it was very good the strawberry was the winner. Looking forward to returning to Straw's Eat Shop in the future.
