Where do i begin... the donuts at this place are simply amazing! The donut holes are pure legend in Wilson. They have soo many options for the dessert case, but this MAY depend on the day & time though. For example on Friday afternoons, you may be lucky to get anything other than traditional glazed donuts. But this is just because they sell out! The owners are there a lot and are physically hands-on type owners, out front helping customers, down to taking orders & you can tell this is not corporate run. Not only that, they are truly GOOD, loving people. (You can taste the love in the food) And now to the food: they serve breakfast & lunch all day. Iām a breakfast junkie, and itās southern style, not frozen or anything like fast food does. Same goes for their lunch. Burgers, Hotdogs, Fries, House Chips, all made to order and fresh! I have been eating here since i was young enough to remember! Please give this place a try if you havenāt before. If youāve had a bad experience, I urge you to give them another try. As a former restaurant worker, every employee or company has a bad day. You shouldnāt leave from here any way other than...

While the inside is small, the food is amazing. Had the steak, egg, and cheese biscuit. The best part⦠the biscuit. It was one of those you could tell someone knew what they were doing. It was soft with being crispy in the right spots. I do believe the proper shortening or lard was used. They didnāt spare the steak, egg, or cheese either.
As we left, we bought a few doughnuts. Oh my. They would be worth a drive alone. The cream was not too sweet and the dough was yeasty - the best. Not greasy. Glazed but not over done.
Go early because they...

I have not been there since i retired 2 years ago. i went this morning and was very disappointed Ordered12 donut holes 4 glazed donuts and 4 cream donuts.
