Tiny restaurant with nothing else around. Somewhat dated diner vibe. About six tables inside and…read moretwo picnic benches on the porch. One waitress on duty on Friday night was able to handle everything, but she was somewhat stretched in my view. Food was very good. We opted for the all you can eat fried catfish. In retrospect, we could have saved a few bucks and just got the catfish dinner instead. Fish was very good, especially the breading. Corn nuggets were excellent. Fried okra was under seasoned and maybe undercooked. Mac and cheese was like from a box. Chocolate pie was excellent even if it had too much merengue. It's about a 30 min drive and we will likely return at some point.

The food was delicious. The fried catfish was as the best. It was lightly breaded and freshly…read morecooked. Our waitress was so nice. Country folks are the best. The restaurant area was clean which made the whole meal great.

First off, the view is spectacular. This is such a beautiful area. As you would expect a place called "the cookie jar Café" has... Wait for it cookie jars everywhere! It's adorable. Servers were very friendly and food came quickly. Prices were very reasonable. But now the best part, the food. Hubby ordered the country fried steak with a side of mashed potatoes and fried okra. Country fried steak was perfectly cooked crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Very, very flavorful as well. Mashed potatoes were superb. I ordered the sweet tea fried chicken with a side of green beans and fried squash. Pleasantly surprised to see fried squash on a menu. You don't see that very often. The fried chicken was amazing! So flavorful and so tender. Green beans were a flashback to growing up in the country. The fried squash, just plain old yummy. I think my husband must've said "this tastes just like my grandma made" at least eight or nine times during the meal. Although we didn't sample the desserts... way too full, they looked delectable. Maybe next time. There will defiantly be a next time.

The actual food and drinks were perfectly done and we loved buying stuff in our interests!! We got the How to train your dragon and the shark bite drinks.

The team concept of service ensures that the guests are taken care of but not in a pushy manner. My mom's choice of meatloaf came with a huge chunk of meat and no way she was going to eat it all . I tried the smoked wings. They had a great taste and were plump with meat. The skillet fried okra and a side of field peas finished the plate off. We got some dessert to go with sinful delight, cherry cobbler and walnut chocolate chip pie. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend this local place currently at 36 years serving great food. Happy Mother's Day weekend.
