What a wonderful hole in the wall to find during a Vaca trip see you friend. Looking for some place…read moreto pop in and eat and we'd heard about this place that we thought we'd give it a shot. It's a typical little neighborhood Cafe with a breakfast buffet and menu ordering. I had the two-egg breakfast with bacon, toast with tater tots (out of hash browns). I requested eggs to be cooked over medium and they were absolutely perfect!!! I was thrilled because this is not a typically happens when I order this type of egg. That tater tots Tasted like they were cooked in fresh oil and the bacon was amazing. A friend ordered the same except with home fries and a hot cake. She was a little bummed at the home fries as they were just sliced & just not what she expected. Her eggs and bacon were also amazing and her hot cake was wonderful. Coffee was nice and strong with good flavor. I visited the restroom and although the building is obviously old it was very clean. Crystal was our server and she was warm and engaging. 10/10. I will definitely visit again when I'm in the area!!

When I went, it had two types of fried chicken, meatloaf, and a number of sides. Everything was REALLY good. I'm not a big fried chicken connoisseur. But, if I'm having it, this would be a contender for top recipe. If you are on a road trip or find yourself in Lake City, this unassuming little spot is worth a try. My family enjoyed the food and still comments about what a find this is. Overall: Highly recommended.

It was sooo good- sausage, bacon, egg, grilled tomatoes, potatoes, and a delish jalapeño aioli. We also tried the everything bagel with bacon & sausage.. the bagel was warm, soft and probably the best i've had. It is a foos truck, but fair priced, they have plenty of covered seating and proper restrooms. There was a lo g line, but it moves quick. I would visit again!

We were craving a home-cooked comfort meal and they did not disappoint. The fried chicken? Golden, crispy perfection. The mac-n-cheese? Cheesy, creamy heaven. Add rice & gravy, collards, and green beans, and we were in full-on Southern food bliss. Because one round wasn't enough, we grabbed a to-go plate of meatloaf, rice & gravy, green beans, and yams for today's lunch goals. They're only open Thursday through Saturday, so plan ahead. The service was top notch!

Upon finding the side door entrance, I was immediately taken back to when life was slower and people sat to eat and have conversations. No one was in a rush.

The place was full of locals and that is always a good sign. The food came out quickly and it was very good. I had a Reubens with a side of broccoli apple slaw and both of them were excellent.

You walk in pay for your buffet , and sit where you like . Real casual dining experience. The only negative thing i experienced was the dessertb, they were out of both cobblers for a little bit , didnt want to wait l,so tried a piece of each of the cakes they had in bowls. Chocolate Cake wasn't bad, butbwhat i believe to pineapple cake or something was very dry no flavor. I dont go to buffets for the deserts, so..the chicken an the rest of the food made up for the issue. A closer to home buffet , they did have a sign up for all you can eat crab legs on Sat 3-7pm.
