"First time that we've stopped here, we've always wanted to, and I'm so glad that we did. Staff was very friendly, the restaurant is very clean and inviting. I had a hamburger plate, by far the best onion rings I've had in a long time and absolutely the best potato salad I've ever had.in.my.life!!!! Will be back."

"We have seen the sign for this place for a while now and finally had min to try it out, OMG this was so amazing, the pulled pork was top 5 best I've ever had paired with their vinegar sauce (better than mustard) and perfectly cook onion rings, the stew was about par still good but I've had better, the burgers are amazing and look handmade, tots were golden brown and the best from any stop in place. There are so many options on the huge menu we are coming back to try everything. 10/10 everyone needs to stop in this place! Staff was very nice and made you feel like you coming home for Sunday lunch."

"Stopped into this little spot hoping to get a hearty Southern meal like my Granny used to make--something that sticks to your ribs and warms the soul. The atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect from a small-town country store and eatery: cozy, familiar, and full of friendly folks ready to chat. I ordered the Hamburger Steak Platter with fried okra, a side salad, and fried pickles. And while my Granny did cross my mind when the food arrived, it was more in the sense of wondering if this is what she'd have been forced to eat had she ever ended up in a nursing home. I opted out of grilled onions on my hamburger steak, but I didn't realize that meant I'd be served a plain, dry burger patty with nothing to dress it up. When I asked about gravy, I was told the only options were A1 or Heinz 57--bless it. The fried okra was the usual pre-frozen variety, hard to mess up but nothing special. Same goes for the fried pickles--except I only got four small wedges, and the batter slid right off with the first bite, leaving me with a sad little mushy pickle. Now, don't get me wrong--the food wasn't terrible. If you're watching your salt intake, keeping an eye on your cholesterol, or just looking for a place to sit and chat about "this generation" over a plate of something bland, this might be just the spot for you. But if you'd rather save yourself $20, just hit the drive-thru and ask for a plain burger patty. You'll get the same experience for less than half the price."

"One of the best burgers I've ever had. Really! Bacon cheeseburger to be exact. The onion rings were perfectly fried, too. My hubby even liked the fries more than most. Great simple place to stop for lunch after checking out Tallulah Gorge. Service was friendly and helpful. Can't wait to try the flavored coffee we bought too."
