**Restaurant Review: A Mixed Bag of Experiences** This establishment attracts a wide range of opinions, with many attesting to its friendly service and homey atmosphere. Frequent diners praise the impressive meat-and-three options and the inviting salad bar, while highlights include the flavorful cornbread and well-seasoned green beans. However, others experienced subpar food quality, with complaints about bland dishes and questionable ingredients. The environment also drew criticism for being worn and unclean. Despite these inconsistencies, the restaurant’s dedicated staff continuously strive to provide an enjoyable dining experience, making it a topic of both local admiration and frustration.

First off, I am a retired chef who's worked in very high end restaurants for 30 years. After I retired I decided to become a Professional driver... I usually either cook my own food or eat something healthy that I keep with me. Yesterday and today I was feeling lazy and decided to try a local Mom and Pop. I was greeted with a huge smile,sat quickly and my order was just as fast being taken and brought to my table. Waitress both days were outstandingly pleasant, friendly and fast. Food was hot delicious and homemade. Desserts are made by the hostess who seats you and are outstanding! Btw... She's a definite sweetie. I will be back to that restaurant EVERY TIME I'm in town!

I celebrated my PhD at this wonderful restaurant yesterday, and it truly contributed to a fantastic evening. The staff was incredibly accommodating and friendly, helping to create a warm atmosphere. My friends were all very impressed with the food and the overall experience. We will definitely return for more joyful occasions in the future. Thank you!

Well, that was about one of the tastiest meat and threes I've yet tasted in 5 yrs living in AL. The meatloaf rivaled my great grandma's from MO, where meatloaf is a lot more prevalent staple than AL. The cornbread was moist and buttery with just a tinyhint of sweetness, not too sweet or savory. The green beans tasted like they'd been stewed in crispy bacon grease for a week, sothe beans had that bacon-y flavor permeating them throughout. The batter they used for the fried green tomatoes was delicious,and the peanut butter pie, despite the name, wasn't overly peanut buttery and saccharin sweet like some. It was pretty heavenlyas well. Lastly, but definitely not least...ly, the staff there was so friendly. They were completely overwhelmed at lunch hour(because scrumptious food and all), but they still stopped, greeted me, took time to hold a conversation, and treated me like aregular even though it was my first time. Can't believe I've passed this place monthly for three years and just now visited.Definitely worth the wait!!

We had lunch here, service was good as was the food. They also have a very good salad bar. It is an old place but many locals eat here almost every day, now I know why. I had two fried pork chops, salad and French fries, my lady had cheese burger andfries, it was all very good.
