Just Like Mamas Home Cooking — Restaurant in Metropolis

I'm a school bus driver and I'm always looking for some where to eat that isn't the usual fast food. I found this place after dropping off my high school track team. I was wonderfully impressed by the experience. The restaurant is small and quite modest by appearances, do don't expect a formal dining experience. Now, with that said, the staff was super friendly and attentive, they really helped me feel comfortable while I was there. The young lady at the counter was so sweet, the young man in the kitchen was absolutely fabulous. They both made sure that my dining experience was exceptional. The food was served in a reasonable amount of time, considering that the chicken was made while I waited. It was hot, fresh, delicious, and perfectly crispy! The best fried okra I've had in years!! I'll make sure that all my coworkers know where to go when they're in town....

I got the Nashville Hot Sandwich with fries, no Cole slaw as my first visit. Took a few minutes to come out, but glad to have cooked-to-order food. It came out around $6.50 I think and got liberal portions on both the sandwich and the fries. Absolutely worth the price. I took it home and got my own drink there, so that saved a bit. I would definitely recommend trying it out.

They warn you the Nashville Hot is rather spicy. It made my nose run, but it didn't put me on the floor or anything. If you like spicy food, you'll probably love it. I liked it a lot but it's a bit spicy for me so probably will only get it on occasion when I feel specifically like spicy food.

Very much look forward to going back and trying other things on the menu and supporting a local business that has good deals...

We started to go in the Subway next door then thought we would give this place a try. Overall we were very pleased with the experience. The food is outstanding and the staff is very friendly and courteous. This is NOT a fast food place -- you will wait a short time while your food is prepared to order; nothing sitting under heat lamps here. I have only one negative to mention but I don't think it is enough to cost a star (maybe half a star). There was a TV playing on the wall near the order counter. I don't like having to listen to a TV in a restaurant, although they seem to be everywhere now. This one was a bit loud and was showing some kind of sports game with typical sports announcers talking. That is the only negative...
