Lot of good reviews but honestly I wasn't impressed. I live in Bean Station and drove to Rutledge just to give this place a try. We waited for what seemed to be 35 minutes or longer for our food after ordering. The waitress said they had a big party come in before us and they were trying to get those orders done. Ok no problem. I mean it's Saturday and we weren't in a hurry. When we got the food I asked for well-done hash browns and they weren't even brown (they were still completely white). The gravy just wasn't good at all honestly I would have rather had can gravy. I asked for overeasy eggs which 1 was but 1 yolk was completely cooked hard. My wife ordered scrambled eggs and they were runny. She took one bite and literally spit them out. I mean really how to you mess up scrambled eggs. Next time we'll just go to Morristown and get Davey Crockett or Hillbilly Cabin.
To all you haters I believe your gripe is not the food but maybe it's because of their faith and beliefs!!!! The food was great even though all is not homemade but still was great. I say try this place and show your support that America is still a great place to live. Anyone leaving hateful reviews just remember they are Christian based and their beliefs should be respected!!!!!! Service: Dine in
