    a hamburger with a knife in it
    Kim S.

    The food is great! Especially the burgers and the service is friendly and quick. It's a small diner so not recommended for large groups.

    Mashed potatoes, Gravy, and salads mix anyone?  Gross.
    Greg C.

    Usually I love this place... but this is what they have been doing lately so I'm done with it. Not to mention they told us that the order would take 30 minutes that we called in, it took over an hour we sat in the parking lot for 30 minutes waiting. Salad, mashed potatoes, and gravy anyone? Gross. It was supposed to be a salad with ranch, mashed potatoes and gravy, and the thinly sliced roast beef with brown gravy, everything was good but who the hell mixes everything with the salad. I know it's a southern diner, and I've been from the south my entire life, but I've never had gravy with my salad. Fix this.

    Fantastic breakfast food and great service. Visiting from Boston, they made us feel at home and the biscuits and gravy were awesome.

    Stopped here on my way to Texas and was so pleasantly surprised. We ordered a waffle, side of…read morebacon, a two egg plater, and a breakfast sandwich. The waffle was so cool that it had a print of the "waffle house" in the middle. The hashborwns were nice and crispy. The toast was ver toasty and buttered perfectly. The eggs were very fresh and delicious. The bacon was nice and frispy brown and very good. The food is very affordable for the whole family to enjoy. The drinks were fresh adn we got the chocolate milk, orange juice, coffee and tea. The orange juice was sweet and orangey and was good. The chocolate milk was very good. The coffee was okay and was black coffe and with the right amount of sugar and honey made it perfect. The black tea was alright although it would be better if they had different flavor teas available as well. The staff was super friendly and outgoing and very happy to chat along with her. We ordered our food and our order came out so quickly. The bathrooms were very clean. There was no mess in the bathroom. The only thing that I would say about it is that they only have one bathroom each but it was no problem at all. The restaurant was very clean and small but perfect. They had a jukebox and was very cool.

    I am deeply disturbed by the horrors that went on in this establishment. After this experience, I…read more need therapy for the rest of my life. As I walked into this Waffle House, I saw what could only be described as something paranormal. There he was, sitting at table with his humongous blue hoodie and long red beard. He sat there staring at one of the workers, she was visibly uncomfortable. I'm guessing she was his waitress. As sat down at my table I heard a terrifying scream. He was brought his food and he devoured it in one second. I still remember the order to this day.... 60 hash brown bowls with gravy and onion, 100 waffles, and 20 mr pibbs. He ate it in one second, food went flying everywhere. The next thing that happened was out of a horror movie. He proceeded to scream "IM STILL HUNGRY" and ate the poor waitress. He then got up and started devouring everyone in his sight. I ducked down and hoped he didn't see me. But instead of seeing me... he smelled me. He ran 50 miles an hour at me, I barely escaped. But I made it to the back and threw whatever waffles were out at him and escape. 3/5 The waffles were good but caseoh honestly just made the experience unpleasant, would visit again.

I tried to soak the grease up with a napkin. The server walked but and I mentioned how greasy and soggy it was she offered to get me fresh bread. I declined as it would not save the greasy soggy chicken. I tried to eat part of it, an then when the server came by I told her she could take it away because it was not edible. She said she'd grab her manager. Which was apparently the other lady taking tables with her, as I heard and saw her taking to her. She did not want to come to the table apparently. Told her to discount it or make new one. We just took the discount as we waited long enough for our food. The bacon was kinda gross too on my sandwich and My wife had a side a bacon and she apologized and said they were making more. When she brought it out. The bacon brought when we asked for the check was good. Too bad everything else wasn't my mother in laws toast came out cold and not buttered. They got her more. She also mentioned her scrambled eggs tasted like they had cheese in them and were full of grease just do not say anything. Finally they are advertising apple crisp cakes everywhere and when we sat down the server should have told us they were out because that's what we originally wanted. Slow service and horrible food. Waffle House is up the road. Go there instead.
