Grits were great, but the chicken biscuit w/ pecan/praline glaze was a revelation. The place is understaffed in the server dept, but a delightful, friendly, efficient server (I think her name is Lindsey--outstanding... GIVE HER A RAISE! was keeping the place humming SOLO. Halfway through my breakfast a back-up appeared. If I were to rate the restaurant overall, due to it being shortstaffed, I would have given it a 4. But Lindsey is a solid 10, so in TripAdvisor math, it averages to 5.

The biscuit with praline syrup and bananas is to die for I cannot recommend this item enough! The diner is small and not much to look at on the outside so don’t let that fool you! Also this is located close to the interstate and easy to get in/out.

Really good biscuits and gravy. Fresh and hot breakfast items cooked just right. Service was great and I liked the atmosphere. read more Really good biscuits and gravy. Fresh and hot breakfast items cooked just right. Service was great and I liked the atmosphere.
