It was very quiet when we went on a weekday, and service was fast and friendly! The girls working were so sweet and were successful in getting the line moving. There was a small rush after us in line but overall in the dining area there were 4-5 tables seated by the time we left. Fried chicken I have gotten to go and was soggy previously, but I see it is freshest in person at the line! Seasonings have been changed for the better and all the sides were above average. The peach cobbler was the only side that was an uncertain result for me as the peaches were great but surrounded by nothing but dough, not crust, which I also like some of. Atmosphere was quiet and cozy. Will continue to give them a try here and there to find what I enjoy the best, especially for local biz!

Prices were pretty reasonable for the nice portion size too. For two meals we paid about $27. We will definitely be back to try their breakfast!

I was looking for a breakfast spot this morning after an appointment, when I found this place. This…read moreis a busy little area with shops on all the small connected streets. 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.

I went on a Sunday for lunch and it was very busy! They had several meat options ( fried catfish, fried chicken, baked chicken, beef tips ,chicken livers, etc). Many veggie options too!

I also had greens, cornbread dressing because they had cranberry sauce and fried green tomatoes. Everything was extremely fresh - not overly seasoned but satisfactory to my tastebuds. Overall, I enjoyed my meal & left satisfied (and sleepy). The staff certainly was hardworking and handled the crowd effectively.

As we prepared to leave I over heard that there was PEACH cobbler and bread pudding. I absolutely had to try the cobbler and it was phenomenal!!!! Homemade crust no shortcuts. Give them a try.

I found myself driving down 3rd Ave early one morning hungry and in pain. A rare time without my…read morepet so I could take time to sit inside and eat without concerns about my dog in a hot car. Ok I immediately decided to have breakfast here again. It was crowded as usual. Mostly for take out orders. I was told to select any table and someone would be with me soon. The owner came over to take my order before I found the salmon patties on the menu. I didn't want to hold him up so I ordered what I normally get at WH minus the waffle. My request for extra cream was taken seriously and I so appreciate it. My coffee cup was refilled often and so was the container of cream when it got low! Since there was a line of cars in the drive thru and many customers ahead of me, I wasn't expecting my order so quickly. However, 17 minutes after I placed my order I had a freshly cooked breakfast in front of me. Grits, bacon,over easy eggs, buttered toast and jelly packets. I poured the grits into the platter, eased the eggs onto the steaming hot grits, sprinkled black pepper over the yolks, spreading the jelly over the requested uncut toast and blessed the meal. The yolks oozing over the platter just right told me the eggs weren't overcooked. The bacon was crispy and cooked straight like I preferred. It's quicker to spread jelly over a whole slice of bread rather than 4 cut pieces. When I looked up from eating there was an entire new collection of customers in line to order. The only complaint I had was I forgot to put my Badia brand Chile & Lime seasoning in the car. It's perfect for times like this when the Grits lack salt and needs seasoning without adding sodium. I understand they can't season the pot like I do at home but dang those grits were bland! Even salted butter would have helped! Those little containers of pretend butter products isn't enough. I hate those things. Give me real butter or nothing at all! So even though I ate my breakfast like I hadn't eaten in a week, I still have two compliments. Bland, unsalted grits and the lack of real butter products upon request. Everything else was on point. My toast was actually "toasted" brown and uncut like I asked. My over easy eggs weren't overcooked cooked but the white part was cooked without any brown. The yolks were running like I like. The bacon was cooked on the grill as my eggs. (I see a guy online serving precooked cold bacon that I would send back). It was crispy and straight! The grits although lacking salt, was steaming hot and not lumpy so almost perfect. My coffee cup was refilled as soon as it was emptied as I waited for my breakfast. I didn't have to continue to wait for more cream, because my server heard me when I asked for extra cream before hand. It's small things like that I appreciate. All in all I enjoyed being able to sit and enjoy a meal without my dog in the car running with the AC on. Or me getting a to go order so I'm not concerned about a hot car. I just remembered I hadn't reviewed my previous experience. I'm in the mood for salmon, rice and biscuit so I'm leaving the dog at home and going to have another meal in their dining room!
