What our guests are saying
It was my first time eating here. I was with a group of four. Everyone loved their meal. I ordered chicken waffles. It was out of this world. I don’t think there’s anything that could’ve been improved. The homemade Belgium waffle had sugar pearls and special syrup. The texture would rival any Belgia

Excellent food, friendly staff, and reasonably priced. Check out their daily specials and new items on the chalkboard. My Mom wanted the fried chicken livers, so we went on a Friday. My daughter loved the mini corn dogs. I had the sweet and hot grilled chicken sandwich special, and it was delicious
Tamara Nagelberg
Food was really good and staff friendly. Didn't have to wait long on food. Will definitely go back. Pictured below is pulled bbq sandwich with baked beans and potato salad, country fried steak with brown gravy(instead of white), mashed potatoes and fried okra and a bowl of pinto beans.
Dorothy Terry
This was the first time eating here. It was for lunch and tables were available. The food was amazing and filling. I had the chicken hoagie and she had the BLT. The fries were much larger and had great flavor. The cost was very reasonable.
