    Clean sitting

    Good food, friendly serviceI enjoy the casual Atmosphere. It's a lot nicer on the inside. So, don't be filled. .

    Out on a random adventure and found this place on yelp. Immediately greeted by a very nice waitress and hit in the face with awesome smells! The place really is a tiny shack, but the smaller the place the better the food. I asked for a suggestion and was recommended the Fashioned Hamburger Steak (while the waitress was telling me someone called in a to-go order for the same thing), took her up on it. Sweet tea to drink, and it was the perfect southern style (often a hit or miss at small places as it goes stale quick - tasted like it was brewed 5 minutes ago). The food was amazing, meat was obviously fresh (not frozen) and gravy made it delicious. Fries were crispy and the coleslaw was undescribable. They also have homemade desserts: coconut, strawberry, and chocolate cake today. No room left but will be back again!

    I was not expecting for it to be a real shack but everyone knows "the hole in the wall" places have the best food! It took me two seconds to figure out what I wanted on the menu. Homemade biscuits like my grandma and country fried ham. I have no idea where to even buy buy county fried ham. I also got the salmon biscuit. The salmon croquette was okay but that biscuit is EVERYTHANG! The biscuits were $2.25 a piece. I do recommend getting more than one biscuit.

    Not Much from the outside but the food and service was stellar.

    This place popped up on my Apple Maps as a good place for breakfast. It wasn't wrong. Although a hole in the wall, the food and service was excellent. The biscuits were perfect, not too fluffy and perfect for anything you wanted inside. I had the sausage biscuit, grits and two eggs. With tea for a drink, the bill was only $7.50. A great deal for the food. The server was very sweet and the food came out quickly. I would say this is a place I'll return to next time in Griffin.

    Food was good but it would be better if it was served warm. Pretty much the entire plate was lukewarm or cold.

All of our food was yummy and the servings were plenty food for all of us. Also they asked how my mom wanted her salmon cooked and I've never heard anyone ask that question before! She got it medium-well and thought that was perfect. Parking at this location is super easy with a big attached parking lot that's free. All in all, we had a great experience.

I finally came back down and ordered the Black and Blue Burger, which has the best crumbled blue cheese on top as well as onion rings on top with a side of Brussels sprouts. We also ordered the Turkey Wrap, which was a spinach wrap filled with oven-roasted turkey, bacon, Swiss cheese, lettuce, and Cajun aioli. Now who thought of that! It was so good, as was my juicy burger and Brussels sprouts. So, we decided to split our lunch in half, sharing half with each other. Plus, the portions are so huge that it's easy to share. We took our time eating because each bite had so much flavor. I must say that this place is truly one of a kind, offering the best food, service, and atmosphere.

We decided on the meatloaf special and Ruban sandwich and beef tortellini soup. We were told they had big portions so we were expecting great things. Soup came first it was excellent so off to a good start, then came our food the portions were normal size in my opinion, the meatloaf was average kinda bland and dry no wow factor but just okay. The Ruban sandwich was good size but mostly sauerkraut not enough meat. The rye bead was delicious and the dressing was good but still no wow factor. The ice tea was great not cloudy. Overall the food was average but for the price I'd say a good value. On to the desserts which I took to go and were outstanding, that was the star of the show for me I guess but I'm willing to try some different things next time. It's a good little place and the Staff was excellent, but I feel like the food was average.

It came out steaming hot, and the seasoning covered the whole fish from the outside to the inside. The skin was so crispy and crunchy, I left nothing behind.
