One said I'll be right with you, walked in the back, and was never seen again. The other two were enjoying their conversation and could not be bothered. We stood at the cash register for awhile, hoping for some attention. Ended up walking out. Service: Dine in

Ordered breakfast and was told it'd take 30 minutes. I agreed and waited an hour to get served. Poorly managed. Go to Waffle House!

While we were deciding, the barista was complaining to the customer in front of us about how much she hated her job and how miserable every single order was making her. We both decided on the orange-ade, as it's a childhood favorite of Mom's. The original soda fountain that made them is long gone, but it's still a fairly popular thing in this area. Other places offer it, too. More complaining from the barista. At this point, we decided the drinks were going to be enough, neither of us wanted to stay eat anything after listening to the ever growing recital of how many ways everything everyone sucked. Those were, without a doubt, the worst orange-ades ever made. For those of you wondering, an orange-ade is basically 3 ingredients; water, fresh squeezed orange juice simple syrup. Some places add additional flavorings, like a splash of vanilla, but it's pretty much just the 3 ingredients. It's pretty hard to get wrong. The couple behind us also had an orange-ade in their order. More complaining from the barista. This shop has changed hands fairly recently, but I have to say, when Angie Calvin were operating Appalachian Java, there were NEVER any issues with rude staff they would have immediately fixed any problems with food or drink. We will not be back. As much as I would like to support a local business, we will stick with the local Starbucks franchise instead. The drinks are consistent the employees have the sense to complain about customers out of earshot.

The restaurant always delivers excellent food with fast, friendly service. It never fails to impress and is worth the scenic drive off the main road. read more The restaurant always delivers excellent food with fast, friendly service.
