Nestled in a gas station, this diner has become a hidden gem in the greater Asheville area, surprising many with its diverse menu that offers all-day breakfast and hearty lunch options. Diners rave about the flavor-packed dishes, from the outstanding shrimp and grits to the impressive fried chicken, which leaves many plates empty. Although some experiences have varied, particularly regarding service speed during busy times, the overall sentiment is positive. Cleanliness and a welcoming atmosphere complement the delicious food, making it a must-visit spot for anyone looking for a memorable meal in an unassuming setting.

I was really blown away by the food here. I saw the restaurant was close to my airbnb but wasn't planning on going there for lunch. Pictures on Google, led me to believe the restaurant was primarily breakfast food but this is incorrect. They had plenty of options for lunch and breakfast was served all day. We ended up at the restaurant for lunch and it was a great decision. Everything I tried was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. I really enjoyed the fried Brussels.

We were very happy with our meal here! I almost turned back when I discovered it was located in the same building as a gas station, but I'm glad we didn't. The shrimp and grits breakfast was outstanding, featuring poached eggs and slices of fried green tomatoes. We'll definitely be returning!

I ordered the pancakes, and they were enormous and delicious. My wife chose an omelet with grits and cheese, and she absolutely loved it. The portions were so generous that we had enough food for two meals. The service was excellent as well.
