I loved the place! It was very homie and Lonnie was absolutely incredible! So was so kind and welcoming. The food was delicious, especially if you’re looking for something fast, delicious, and simple. I would highly recommend coming here and will 100% be coming back!

This place was AMAZING!!!! The food was so good, clearly homemade, and inexpensive! The service was great, didn’t wait long to get in, and overall had a great experience. We will be going back… a lot…

Stopped in for Sunday breakfast for the first time while briefly visiting the area. Food was delicious and service was fabulous. Somebody secretly covered our entire bill which goes to show how lovely folks are in this area. My son and I are truly grateful for such a nice memory. Thankyou and we hope to come back and enjoy another breakfast soon!

Reasonable prices and good service. Pancakes were some of the best! Fat and fluffy! Grits were 10/10 also! Small little place with a great breakfast

We ate breakfast. The food was really good. We tried gravy biscuits, country ham, bacon, egg, hashbrowns, toast, & pancakes on the 3 plates. Affordable. Quick service. Waitresses friendly. We defintely will be back.
