Description

A beloved local diner serves hearty Southern comfort—big breakfasts, burgers, pies and standout fries—drawing loyal regulars and travelers alike. Generous portions, daily specials and a homey, classic-diner atmosphere pair with easy highway access and plentiful free parking. Service and temperature consistency vary; some praise attentive staff while others report slow service, cold plates, and watered-down coffee. Note: cash only (ATM on site). Expect busy lunchtime crowds and unfussy, down‑home cooking.

I went here after visiting the zoo. I got the Corned beef Reuben and fries. I thought that both were great! The fries were the best I've had in a long time, I'd put them up there with KFC fries. The sandwich was great as well. One thing about this place you should know is they only take cash and they have an ATM inside. Another is that they have different dishes on different days of the week. Overall I highly recommend Blake's! Food: 5

Terrible. Don't waste your time. Ordered drinks, waited forever. When we came in and sat down people before us were still waiting for a long time for their food. . Try to order breakfast but there wasn't any it was past time so we ordered drinks and then decided to leave because the wait was so long. Try to get the drinks to go and they said that they didnt have good water. I also ordered sodas in a coffee into orange juices. Didn't get them either. You will be waiting all day. When I took a peek in the kitchen when they were preparing the food there was no heat lamps everything looked cold. Glad I didn't waste my time and money.
