    We went here for supper and we were very pleased. Staff was friendly, you can see them cooking on…read morethe griddle and the food was fresh. I had the hamburger steak, fries and slaw with Texas toast. Hubby had a hamburger with all the fixings, fries and a fresh salad. Our friend had the hamburger steak, onion rings cooked to perfection and a salad. This was the first time and it will not be the last time. We plan to go for breakfast next visit.

    Our family has eaten here for so many years that we cant even remember how long it been. However…read moreover the last few years we have watched this staple of Royston go downhill very badly. We have had to returned orders while in dine in, called about incorrect or low quality orders when we get home, I have even more recently begun or had family begin checking orders before we leave. Tonight I sent someone unaware of the issues to pick up our order. The double with bacon burger that I ordered and paid extra for was a single w/o bacon, my tater tots were instead fries, and they forgot our two orders of cole slaw. I called and after getting unthoughtout excuses from a young lady I then spoke to the owner Lee who just acted like an disinterested, dismissive and disrespectful prick, I normally would have taken up for Lee but his behavior was inexcusable I told him if that's how he chooses to act he's lost a few customers...he never asked who he was speaking to and dont think he knew so his responce was....and....I dont care...I guess we wont be seeing you again....I would say he had a bad day but his unwilling to right the issue or even right our name down to take care of it later. Had he.....he likley would have realized the family he was talking to. He didn't know who he was talking to as we are a very big family in the area and have a long history with his place. He has likely lost about 50 family members in one fatal swoop, Hes lost our families businesses ever ordering from him again. After his behavior and lack of interest in fixing anything and him allowing his business to faulter at the expense of his customers I suspect he will continue to lose more and more each day. Lee we wish you well from a distance.... but take for granted what God gives you and he will take it from you

    Our son has been here several times and kept talking about how amazing it was. Well, he was right…read more We showed up at 1pm on a Saturday and were able to get a table inside right away. Our server could not have been more friendly. Based on her recommendation we tried the ham balls AND the praline bacon. So glad we did. They were decadent. Full of flavor. The Han balls melt in your mouth. My husband had the burger that had the pimento cheese on it. It came with french fries. Both were nice and hot. I tried the rooster bowl. A fried chicken breast on grits with scrambled eggs and gravy. I ate half and took half home with me knowing that I don't often eat food this rich. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. If you are counting carbs and calories, don't come here. But if you want to go somewhere that you feel genuinely welcomed and are then fed incredible food, this is the place for you. Don't expect fancy. This is a laid back, come as you are place. And I'm so glad we did.

    We were disappointed the tomato pie was sold out, but the reason is that the food here is…read moreoutstanding and especially the tomato pie. So that means another trip down from Greenville. It's about 50 minutes to get here. Since there was no tomato pie appetizer, I felt calorie justified to up my lunch game to the fried chicken and mashed potatoes with corn. And that was finger lickin good, for sure. It's like eating in an old corner country store, because that's what it exactly is, with an additional large outdoor seating area. Service is friendly and attentive. Everything is made in house. Carrot cake is the good heavy kind with cream cheese frosting. All very delicious!
