My boyfriend and I stopped for lunch on a Sunday after our trip to Kelly's Island. They don’t have a Sunday liquor license, but the food is so good you won’t even care. We began with corn nuggets, which are breaded and fried kernels of corn—delicious! Then we shared the brisket bowl, featuring cheesy macaroni, baked beans, and tender, smoky brisket. The flavors blended perfectly, with none overpowering the others. It’s the perfect comfort food, especially for curing a hangover. I can’t wait to return next time I'm in the area!

A family member took us to this diner, and I must say, it was the best meal I've ever had. I ordered the smoked brisket bowl, which featured BBQ brisket atop macaroni and cheese, served with cornbread. First off, their cornbread is the best I've ever tasted. It was like eating cake—sweet and perfectly moist. The brisket bowl was bursting with flavor. The atmosphere is charming and cozy, perfectly capturing that small-town vibe. I wholeheartedly recommend dining here if you have the opportunity! You definitely won’t regret it!
