On a recent trip, my wife and I stopped in and had burgers and fries, about as straightforward as it gets. Was it the best burger we've ever had? No. Was it the worst? Not even close. It was pretty decent. Not especially memorable, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. The inside was a little smoky from the fryer or grill top, so we decided to sit outside. Even though it was warm, it turned out to be a pretty decent day for it. The staff was friendly, including to our dog, which is always a plus. Overall, it was cheap, filling, and perfectly fine for what it is. We would go back. Also, we didn't even ask for extra fries, but the waitress brought us extra fries because she thought there was not enough served with our burger! To those about to nosh, we salute you.

We came for Sunday breakfast. In this part of God's country, there aren't a ton of options outside of chain restaurants for breakfast so we were happy to find this diner style place open. We arrived around brunch time as they were transitioning from breakfast to a lunch buffet but we opted for the breakfast. The scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, pancakes, and French toast were all very good. (Would prefer better syrup but for the price can't complain.) Service was spot on and coffee was $1. Can't beat that.

I had been told to try this place out by a coworker, specifically their breakfast. On a whim I…read moredecided to go at about 11:45am, hoping they'd still be serving breakfast but they weren't so we had the lunch menu. At first glance, the place is very run down, it has the old southern diner feel, but I don't think they have enough employees to keep the place up 100%. Our waitress was very very nice, she was having to wait on folks and go back to wash dishes since they don't have a dishwasher (at the time of me posting this anyways). Half the seating was closed off and the lights dimmed. Aside from the scenery of the place, this is the type of restaurant you'd take your southern grandma too and she'd love it. You have all these southern dishes to choose from!! I was personally excited to see they serve liver mush sandwiches, so that's what I got. I added egg to mine and it was not expensive at all. It was very basic but gosh was it yummy. I also had a side of tropical fruit which came with pineapple, papaya, and peaches. All of that plus a sweet tea totaled to about 10 dollars. I tipped generously because I felt bad that they had no help. I truly do think this place could be buzzing with business, they just need the employees/help to do it. If you're in the area, I do suggest you go in and try the food, while the ambience/scenery isn't the greatest, you will be served with a smile and get some delicious southern home cooking. I wish the owners the best of luck.

Bacon was cold and too crisp. Refined wheat bread came unbuttered and too cool to add butter. Coffee was weak. The space was not exceptionally well maintained and had a 92.5% health department rating. The was a slight odor of cleaning fluid (something akin to PineSol) when you walked in the door. Wait staff was VERY polite and hard working, which makes a review like thus one hard to write, but which kicks this one to two stars. We suspect pre-boomer locals frequent the place, and have grown comfortable with the place.

Yuminess: 8/10 Allergy Safety: 6/10…read morePrice: 4/10 Atmosphere: 10/10 Service: 4/10 Overall: Food was solid, but not a lot of allergy-friendly options (dairy or gluten). Price was definitely high for the portion size, and service was... interesting. Not the friendliest or most helpful. However, the atmosphere is 10/10; it's cozy with plenty of local products available. Likely wouldn't return on my own. In-depth: First, the atmosphere is the best part of this place. It's a large, cozy space with artwork everywhere, games (like chess) to play, and local products to buy. Perfect for reading, working on a computer, or a family day out. Food was also pretty solid. I got the spinach quiche and cloud 9 latte, both of which were delicious, though the latte was a bit too sweet and they did forget to add the whip cream. However, the price is definitely high for what you get. The latte was around $7, and the quiche was $10, even though it was pretty small. I also didn't see many gluten- or dairy-friendly food options, though they did have milk alternatives for the drinks. Now, my biggest gripe: the service. I went last week, and the manager was operating the register. He didn't seem very happy, but hey, not everyone is all smiles at work -- it is work after all. However, he was nice enough when I asked what quiches they had. This is not where my complaint comes from, though. I visited with my friend, and as she was walking back with her spinach pie, she sadly dropped it right on the floor. This is definitely her fault, yes. But how it was handled left a bad taste in my mouth. She cleaned up the mess herself and went to tell the workers. The lady pointed to the manager and told her he would handle it in an offhand manner (although she was nicer later, so maybe she was just busy). When we went to the manager, she told him what happened and asked if she would need to buy a new one. He rolled his eyes, sarcastically said, "Oh no!" then deadpanned, "Yes, you will need to buy a new one," and that was that. While many other restaurants may offer to pay or offer a discount, we 100% understood it was her mistake, not theirs. So, it is fair that she had to repay. What wasn't great was the unnecessary rude attitude. Overall, I might come back if someone wanted to meet here, but I would definitely hope no issues come up that would require me to deal with the service. Beyond that, I wouldn't come back myself.
