I don’t know how we dumb lucked into this place. Ms. Precious was awesome, but the food was even better!! Great old school diner atmosphere with excellent food. One of us ordered the bacon burger, another fried pork chops, and another the chicken Philly cheesesteak. Sides were fried okra and Mac & Cheese, and fries. Everything was OUTSTANDING!!!! Do yourself a favor and stop in here for a bite and experience you won’t forget!!

First time visiting. I sat at the counter for lunch. The catfish, hush puppies and greens were fantastic. Very strong flavors, which I’m a fan of. And the couple who own the place and serve patrons couldn’t be any nicer.

The restaurant was having a rough day, broken equipment, etc. Which is totally fine! But service was slow, many of the food items, and nearly all of the drinks weren't available. Waffles were tasty, but soft. Air conditioning seems to have been out for a while as several fans are used. Probably wouldn't return, but not a bad experience overall.

We were really excited to try this place. We looked at the photos and read about the restaurant, and it all looked great. But it was a huge disappointment. They said they open at 11, but we were left waiting and waiting. We even saw people sitting in a car inside, but no one came to say anything. By 11:05, still nothing. We ended up leaving, very disappointed.”
