    Enjoyed the omelette with potatoes. It was a nice breakfast place with a welcoming atmosphere. Their pancakes are also very delicious and fluffy. Service is great with wonderful and kind people.

    Plate-scraping good food.

    Outfrigginstanding!!! This is my 2nd time having breakfast here in this quiet little café in McComb, MS and it was great. Super nice owner serves you himself and will provide both counter and table service and stop and talk if you're so inclined. I had one of the best pancake breakfasts last time and got the scratch biscuits with scratch gravy this time. I stopped short of using my coffee spoon to do a better job of scraping the plate of the yumminess.

    Half done grits ruined our entire meal! Too pricey for breakfast $22 to have received anything half done... I was right outside, and I called to place a to go phone order and there was no answer... I walked right in and the waitress is sitting there with the phone? The place looks like it could be a nice establishment, yet when I visited, there was used dirty plates still on the table...Not to inviting...side-eye I couldn't get pass the half gone grits that was warm and hard!

    The best pancakes!

    We had pancakes, bacon, omelette and potatoes. We were the only ones there at first and forgot that we were supposed to go up to the counter to order. Duh! So after that delay, the food was done in a timely manner. The pancakes were delicious! Light, fluffy awesomeness! The omelette and potatoes were also delicious and filling. This place is just begging for someone to do a Fixer Upper makeover - it's fine but could be so cute! My only complaint is they had heavy metal music playing - it was on low but still not my favorite. We would definitely be regulars if we lived in McComb!

    Great location! Professional, yet casual server. I appreciate the clean environment, excellent service, and a comfortable place to enjoy breakfast. If I lived closer, this would be my first choice. We will be back. The food was delicious and the coffee was bottomless!

    I went to this restaurant based on the high reviews from this site as well as other sites that sang…read morethe praises of this restaurant. I drove well over two hours JUST TO GET THERE and once we were there we had to wait until they had enough people to seat a whole table, no problem there. Once we sat and we got to look at the food I was immediately disappointed. A good portion of the items on the table were canned vegetables, black eyed peas, lima beans, green beans, beets, and some sort of canned corn salad. Everything was served in hard plastic bowls that rotated on a dais and was constantly being refreshed/reheated by wait staff. Many of the reviews I read expressed a grand fondness for the fried eggplant. I wasn't so sure about that not a big fan to begin with, but this was also disappointing, crispy on one side, soggy on the other and the sponginess of the eggplant itself was not appealing. There was however, one exceptionally good item on the table that saved this from being a complete and total waste of time. The fried chicken was absolutely outstanding, and I would opt to go back just for that but ONLY if I was in town for something else. There was also an assortment of "desserts" if that is what you can call them. There was a brownie/flourless chocolate cake abomination, some canned banana pudding concoction, there may have been bread pudding, I am not sure, and a slice of pie that disappeared as soon as it was on the dais, it never made its way to me before it was gone. The concept is actually quite unique and the experience was delightful, however the execution falls way short regarding the food. I would love to recommend the restaurant but it you are an adventurous eater, I would tell you to pass on this one as it is not worth getting up early, leaving two hours before the restaurant opens to get there during their paltry hours of 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and then having to drive back home with regret and your dinner sitting in your gut like a stone.

Finally, each and every dish, from salad to dessert, was house made and delicious. One could taste each ingredient and the portions way more than adequate. With most places these days being so casual that they're sloppy, it was a welcome change to have a "nice" place to dine. McComb is lucky to have such a superior Italian restaurant. I know of many cities several times the size of McComb and they have nothing to compare. I have no connection with the owners in any way, shape or form. This is a totally unbiased review.

    My husband was scratching around looking for somewhere to eat in McComb and happened upon this…read moreplace. I didn't even read the yelp reviews because I knew it had to be good food based on reading the menu. Once we were waiting for our meals I decided to check out yelp. Any review below 4 stars had huge red flags. Let's address those right out of the gate. 4 bites for a portion. Really? Let's be honest in our review. Unless your mouth is the size of a Mack truck, that's an exaggeration to say 4 bites. Maybe too small for your preference but our plates along with all we saw go by were plenty for anyone eating a normal serving. I even took some with me and I'm a pig. I always eat more than a healthy portion. The pasta wasn't cooked enough. People. Al dente. To the tooth. We overcook pasta in the US. That's why it runs our blood sugar up. The glycemic index goes up the more you cook it. Now you don't have to conform. You're welcome to ruin a good steak by cooking it well done and you're welcome to order your house made pasta cooked until it's floppy. (Insert me biting my fist and sobbing) That's on you but don't blame the kitchen for cooking good Italian American food the right way. Our candle wasn't lit. Wahhhhh. seriously? These are humans. They can forget. Just ask someone to light the candle and stop leaving ridiculous reviews on yelp that don't help people decide if the food is good. Now for our review: We were met by a young lady who was pleasant and seated us right away. Mind you it's lunch on a Sunday. By the time we left, there were just a couple vacant tables. Our server, Jonathon was very pleasant, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. My husband ordered the chicken Parmesan, but he tweaked it to his liking. He asked for his fettuccine to be served on the side rather than under the chicken. He also asked that the Marina still be on the chicken Parmesan, but that his pasta be tossed in an Alfredo - cream sauce. I ordered the spicy rigatoni with the breaded chicken cutlet. Pictures of both are below. The kitchen did forget his marinara sauce on his chicken but the server caught it as soon as he put the plate down and brought Mike a ramekin of marinara for his chicken. Both dishes were incredible. Everything was cooked perfectly. We chose not to stuff ourselves into oblivion so we asked her to go containers and we also got a piece of the cookies and cream cheesecake to go which I also included a picture of in the to go container so don't talk about how ugly the picture is, that's on me. They do serve focaccia bread with dinner. The server said the first order is on the house and after that you pay for subsequent orders. You can ask for focaccia with lunch, which we did not do because we were not aware until after we saw someone else getting theirs. As far as prices, people....we are in a post covid inflated era. This is house cooked, not bought precooked from Sysco and heated in a microwave. If you think you can cook this type of food cheaper at home, try it. I dare you. I cook. A lot and it costs a lot. Have you made a homemade cheesecake lately? No?why? Because it's expensive and a lot of trouble. I amke 1 every couple of months. I sell something to pay for it and gripe the entire time about how much trouble it is. Stop your belly aching about how much it costs and just go to Olive Garden and eat bread sticks and bottomless soup or salad. The restaraunt is cozy with white cloth table clothes that add a touch of elegance but it doesn't feel too froo-froo. We live an hour away from this place and we are excited about driving back. Keep in mind that we are old and don't like to drive anywhere and won't even drive into our town right here to get food. Don't pay any attention to the bad reviews. Those people either don't have good taste, are petty or they don't get out very often.

When I walked in I noticed that there were at least 7 tables that needed to be cleared and there were 6 employees working. They were bickering and arguing with each other. Meanwhile, there were 5 customers waiting to be seated. The waitress finally cleaned the table and sat them. She went back behind the counter and ignored them. They promptly got up and left. I would have done the same, but my dad requested breakfast from Waffle House. It took them almost 8 minutes to take my order. The restaurant wasn't crowded so there was no excuse for slow service and dirty tables. I finally placed my order and I stood and waited. During my wait, the tables still were not cleared and the loud arguing persisted until I left. As I'm writing this review, I'm reading reviews from other patrons that had the same experience. Who ever owns/manages this Waffle House needs to address the deplorable and pitiful staff they have employed. I would STRONGLY encourage anyone who is looking for a place to eat.....to KEEP ON DRIVING. This place has despicable staff and lacks any ounce of professionalism.

I walked in at about 9:15 pm luckily most of the staff was playing outside of the gas station, so I was able to be seated. My server Marsha seated me and was extremely helpful. While sipping on my drink the other employees came back in, they were louldy talking negatively about customers, as if I wasn't sitting there. At about 9:20 they (the two other girls) rudely told a guest he couldn't dine in, due to them closing soon. I apologized to my server for holding them up, and was told it's fine, we don't close until 10. The food was great I asked for the older man's name that was the only person back there cooking it was Warren. i'm normally horrible with names, but I wrote it on my receipt so that I wouldn't forget. While eating Marsha sat two more guest, the other employees were busy sitting in a booth on the other side of the wall, and loudly cursing and laughing. I asked who the manager was and was informed it was indeed one of the girls that was playing in the dining room. My server asked if I needed to speak to her. I politely declined. Sitting in this restaurant was worse than being at my elementary school recess. I am not sure how the doors of this place stays open. The management is a joke, the staff is an even funnier one. There were at least four customers turned away while I was sitting in there eating, and it was during open business hours. Marsha and Warren need a promotion or to just move onto a better place of employment. I pass through here at least 5 times a month and will continue to do just that pass through.
