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!

My only complaint would be the bread does not hold up very well. If you order it with mayo and mustard they are very generous with those but that makes the bread get soggy and fall apart while you are eating it. Other than that...one very good sandwich.

The ambiance is world class, and it doesn't matter if you're inside the kitschy gift shop, or enjoying the beautiful scenery outdoors in the clean mountain air, there's always something to look at. You can shop for pretty much anything your heart desires, from wind chimes to candy, spices to coffee to the mug you'll drink it out of, jams and jellies to welcome mats. They literally have everything. And such good food, everything made to order, with the friendliest, happiest customer service ever.

The space can fill up quickly once golfers finish their games but if you time it right you can even get an outside table.

We went several times when visiting and loved each meal. We would return!

Food was a little slow. The server was excellent and was right there to refresh our drinks. Sports bar atmosphere with plenty of TVs to watch golf Differently worth going back.
