Highly recommend stopping in for breakfast either to dine in or take to go! Parking was easy and the seating is ample inside, with everyone being friendly and helpful with ordering. I wanted a quick chicken biscuit to go and found myself in heaven with the very simple breaded chicken patty with mayo between a homemade flaky biscuit. It was the perfect pick me up I needed to make the drive home from visiting the mountains. I will definitely be back to explore the menu next time I'm in town! read more

This place was great! Marlene was super nice and attentive. The biscuit was so good I forgot to take a photo until I had eaten half. Definitely one of the best biscuits I have had. I also had a meat lovers omelette which was delicious. The inside is a mix of rustic charm and it was very clean. We will definitely be back! read more

If you get the chance and your reading this don't miss an opportunity to go, breakfast and lunch only and breakfast stops at 11 am.

Not sure about all these rave reviews. Maybe it's geared to locals only but I felt out of place and felt a bad vibe. While the service was fine, the food was very mediocre. My Mom ordered the potato soup which she did not eat as it tasted like water. I had a salad and can't remember the last time I had an iceberg lettuce salad. Very disappointing. I may not be a local but I am a taxpaying land owner in the area. read more

This may be one of the best places to feel at home and have a meal that feels like moms. First, you won't stumble on this place. It is inside of a small rural pharmacy and that adds to the charm. I drove by 4-5 times and never noticed it. I'm so glad I found it online. I came in for breakfast and stayed 2 1/2 hours surrounded by some of the nicest and most remarkable locals. The service, food, conversation and charm were all 5 stars. The food is home cooked with love. I couldn't decide. Omelet, meatloaf, tater tots, grilled cheese, BLT, coconut cream pie and so much more Make sure you stop here. Most likely you will come back again. read more

Back in time to the 50's. This small diner in the back of a pharmacy has been open since the 1950's and is literally unchanged. the green seats and lighting are all vintage. Cute place with friendly staff. We ordered the pancakes they were big and fluffy. Also ordered eggs with toast and sausage. Basic nothing special hash brown was just a warmed up frozen Patty. I would have enjoyed a more "southern" meal of good ol Fashion Home fries and such. Still looking. read more

I tried this spot out twice over the weekend, once for lunch and again at breakfast the next day. Smiling faces, friendly folks, and very tasty food! Burger and dogs were spot on, and the homemade chili was exceptional! French toast with powder sugar was a hit with my son. My wife had the sawmill gravy and biscuits, and I built my own sandwich with crispy liver mush, LTM, cheese, and a country scrambled egg...all of which were very good. Prices were very reasonable and we'll definitely be back!!! Almost forgot, in addition to the great place for grub...get your meds refilled at Peoples pharmacy while you're there and shop the local crafts and goodies located in their decor barn. It's like Cracker Barrel but better in every way! read more

Smallish menu on the board on the wall, but plenty enough choices to please everyone. My husband and I had grilled chicken breast. It was seasoned just right! A friend with us had the fried flounder strips and enjoyed those. A regular customer and I were both eyeing the last piece of butterscotch pie, she asked for it first and the kind kind lady halved it with me. Part of the pharmacy is booths for individuals to sell goods. There were many nice things available. If we're ever in the area again, we'll go back. read more
