The other waitress spent her time standing in the back, eating, smoking, and chatting with another woman. I even had to get up and go to the door to ask for assistance. I don’t understand what has happened; the restaurant used to be bustling before they announced the shift to being part bar, part family restaurant.

The iced tea was the only decent thing.

They are in the midst of renovations, which was my only complaint because there was a strong adhesive smell, but the place is looking fantastic and the food is delicious. We ordered eggs and bacon, both cooked to perfection. My husband was excited to find sausage links on the menu, which he loves. I also enjoyed some grits, a side not commonly found everywhere. The staff was friendly and attentive without being obtrusive, and they kept the coffee coming. After many years of traveling the 71 to Columbus and never stopping here, I will definitely make it a regular stop from now on. I’m looking forward to seeing the completed renovations!
