    I love it when Yelp Reviews point out these hidden gems! We pulled off I-65 to get our cheese fix…read moreand were not disappointed! A clean inviting ambience with a simple menu. We started off with an appetizer of Cheese Curds with marinara - hot, crispy and delicious. As if on queue, our Cheesy Mac concoctions arrived, hot and bubbly. There are 4 steps in building your large bowl (I could only finish half of mine!): the base cheese, then meats, then any/all of the 11 add-ins (you can pick all 11!); and lastly up to 5 different sauces augmenting your own personal cheese nirvana. Do it. Now. The locals make you feel right at home with down-home 'bama accents, and engaging service. We are now back on the road, stomach's full, our next meal traveling with us and great memories to share.

    On my trek back home I decided to stop at this little place right off the highway…read more First thing I noticed: AI slop logo. BOOOOOOO!! However it's really really clean and well kept inside and is decorated well. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Never saw them standing around. They were always finding something to do and it looked like it was just one guy front of house and one in the back during lunch. Good on them! Food was fresh and hot. Definitely made to order. The crust of cheese was super good and the cheese sauce also very solid. Garlic bread was also pretty good. I got a very simple Mac and cheese but I would make a guess that more complex bowls would be super good from here. They have options to add sauces and many other items in or on top of it.

    Restaurant Hrs are 6am-2am since nov2025. Catfish okra was good. Corn bread was different. Bland…read morerice and food but thats ok. Service good. Had takeout. Tipped 19%. Extra charge for card & takeout. Next time i think ill get both side okra & texas toast instead or the baked potato. Wished they had something different like sweet potato Brussel sprouts grits or oatmeal as a side maybe no side and a extra fish grilled veggies even broccoli. Good price portion location quality. Interior ok cool. Food was fresh and hot. Didnt seem like microwave.

    Food is good but they continue to up the price. Their management sux.They've started to charge…read moreextra for ranch dressing. The first one is free, but they charge .55 extra for each additional dressing which is ridiculous. Now they've changed their policy where you have to pay first with takeout orders. Before, they always showed you your food before paying. When I do a takeout on the phone, they now charge extra on your credit card which they didn't do before. They are out to rob you and squeeze every dollar they can with their new policies which their lousy management is behind. I'm sure I'm not the only patron that is aware of this. I've stopped leaving tips. The restaurant also fired Brenda Jones ( best waitress in my opinion ) for some unknown reason. She was always polite and worked real hard. They've got new waitresses I don't particularly care for.

    The food was excellent. Wish i lived closer. Had the lunch special chicken n dressing the chicken…read morewas fried with the best crust.

    When we arrived we notified them we had a party of seven. Two waitresses started discussing moving…read moretwo tables together but they could not get confirmation if they could do it or not. They asked us to have a seat and said it would be just a few minutes. After watching three other families come in and get seated right away we were still waiting. 30 minutes later we finally got seated. They ended up making us wait until another family had finished and left. It took forever for them to take our drink orders. And thankfully everybody already knew what we wanted to order so we went ahead and ordered at the same time. We ordered fried pickles. They are the absolute worst fried pickles I've ever had. You could not even taste a pickle flavor. They were so thin that the batter dehydrated them. No flavor at all other than salt. Then came the extremely long wait for our food. Looking around the room everyone was having to wait and extremely long wait for their food. As people that were seated before us still had no food. When our food arrived, all of the adult meals came out but the two kids meals which were just hamburgers and fries took over another full 5 minutes or more before they brought them out. Waitresses were not spending anytime filling drinks. When she did ask my husband about needing more water he said yes he was going to need more water, but she never brought any more out. I ordered the country fried steak. The batter was very dark and color like it was overcooked or cooked in old grease. One of the patties could not be eaten because it was so overcooked and burnt. The green beans were very mushy my mashed potatoes and gravy were cold. My daughter ordered fried okra and it was cold. The cornbread muffin was so small, my guess is it was the last of the batter being used. I could have eaten it in one bite. But it was so dry and flavorless that I chose to leave it on my plate. When the waitress finally asked how everything was I told her about our experience with the overcooked country fried steak and the cold okra and cold mashed potatoes and gravy. My husband ordered prime rib and it was way overcooked versus prime rib that you see at other restaurants. My mother's steak was overcooked and her grilled shrimp came out cold. The waitress brought out replacement mashed potatoes and gravy and replacement fried okra. I asked her about taking something off of the bill since I could not eat half of my dinner. She tried to say that the mashed potatoes and okra that she brought out were extra helpings, but I explained to her they were not extra that they were replacement for what was cold. I was not asking for a replacement country fried steak but I would like something off of my ticket. She finally agreed and took $5 off. Also with us having two children in our group they gave us one children's menu. These are the menus that have a coloring page on the back. We had to ask for a second kids menu and had to ask for the crayons. When our food came we also had to ask for silverware. Do not waste your time waiting to be seated and do not waste your time waiting for your food here. It is not worth it. They definitely have issues in the kitchen, as I was checking out I heard the waitress say that she had to make peach muffins because no one else had done it and they had run out. Overall I felt like I was in a living episode of Gordon Ramsay's kitchen nightmares.
