Although the food was good, it wasn't worth the hour wait. They weren't that busy and after waiting 45 minutes with my daughter and three hungry grandkids, I asked a woman when we would get our food. She said they had pick up orders they were taking care of and ours would be out soon (15 minutes later). We were told they were out of bacon, which my grandsons wanted with their pancakes (they were disappointed) and my daughter wanted with her eggs They offered ham or sausage and my daughter said she wanted ham but neither one for the boys. The plates came out WITH bacon. We asked for 3 slices of bacon for each grandson and one got 3 and the other got 2. We asked the waitress about it and she said she wrote down 2 for him but would get him another piece of bacon. He never did get it! My daughter gave him one of hers (she got 3). We asked twice for catsup for my granddaughter's chicken tenders before the waitress got it for her, which the bottle was on our table but taken off and given to another table. We asked for a kids chicken tenders and that's all she got - NO French fries! She couldn't finish both pieces (she's only 2) and my daughter asked for a box. Once again, we waited for a while. I got up and found the two waitresses and another woman (I think she is the owner whom I originally spoke to about the delay) standing around talking. When I asked again about the box, "the owner" said, "Oh, sorry. We were talking about shoes." REALLY??? So, if you have time to waste and aren't very hungry when you walk in, this is the restaurant for you. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING!!! I will...

It's a country restaurant from times past. Sitting in the building gives me nostalgia of model-T's pulling up for a road-side meal.๐บ
It also shares the restaurant with a Sunday morning service on Sunday mornings.๐
Don't expect new corporate tables/booths or pizazz, just good food and homey atmosphere. The place is run with a mental atmosphere just like you're in the 1930's. Bare minimum everything except the food.
That food is created by a talented kitchen and it's what your looking for if your tired of homogenized fast food. It is definitely prepared as if you're own Grandmother prepared it before sending you off to school. Don't be surprised if you get your plate faster than the fast-food bag. It happens on occasion. It's that good and takes you back to a time when you didn't do the cooking.
Got a chessboard? Bring it with you. The staff is not in hurry to fill your table with someone else. You're welcome to play a round or two.
The place has curios and antiques on display that gives it it's atmosphere.
I'm a "new" customer. I go there when I'm in their neck-of-the-old hi-way. Some folks have been going there when dirt was invented.
"You won't get any nouveau-riche, citified fancy-food -- it's hot, brown, and there's plenty of it!" is a great way to describe what is coming your way in that wooden floor eatery.
It is the perfect place to come to on Sunday after Noon. The staff is really nice to treat you as if you are more than a nuisance that comes with their...
ย ย ย Read moreThis is a quaint place, but it is run in a too-old-fashioned way to the point that it really hurts their review. The place is surface clean, but there are quite a few areas that need attention. The layout is dangerous, the seating is poor, and there are some needs for improvement for the safety of customers including an electrical outlet that sticks up about a foot and a half out of the floor. This kept me wincing each time someone tripped or stumbled around it.
The people here are fabulous. The food was only so-so this trip. The fried chicken lacked favor, and the potatoes were bland and over cooked. The 2 servers were kept hopping, and couldnt get orders to the table for the group so by the time we finished eating, our friends' food showed up. Refills on beverages were coveted. They were obviously overwhelmed by the number of elderly folks who were there to hear the entertainment, and no one really seemed to mind waiting.
The redeeming feature of the entire place is how friendly everyone is and the aforementioned entertainment. Folks come to hear gospel music presented by various groups, and while it is a really odd set up, it seems to work for the obvious regulars. I will likely return, although I get a bit of claustrophobia along with my dose of...
