This place is just a short walk from the Love's Travel Center in Valliant. As a supporter of local businesses, I was not disappointed. I give it a 10/10 and will definitely come back!

Once you step inside, you’ll be greeted with excellent service. Enjoy a cup of good coffee, which comes with real half-and-half instead of that terrible powdered creamer. Be sure to order the pancakes and bring a friend; the portion sizes are quite generous.

The fries were some of the best I've had in a long time—soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, and served hot and fresh.

My wife, our three children, and I all go in to sit down and eat while we wait for roadside assistance. The food and service were both excellent, but it's the post-meal treatment that left mefeeling compelled to leave a review. Roadside never showed and it was extremely hot outside, so a cafe regular named Jim cameout to tell us to come sit back down inside where it was cooler for the children. The server, Diana, gave all three of ourchildren a drink to help cool them off. It was refreshing to see that Southern hospitality is still alive and well at thisplace. We will be stopping by when we go back through town, and I highly recommend anyone doing the same to meet these genuinelykind people.

Only about half tables were occupied, but it took over 10 minutes before anyone even acknowledged that we were there and another 5 minutes toget waited on. During that time 10 a.m. passed and we were no longer allowed to get breakfast, so we just decided to move ondown the road without eating.
