The place was busy at 8:30 on Sunday morning. Our orders were up quickly and the food was good. The biscuits and gravy were on special and I had it topped with over easy eggs. I'd stop here anytime.

Great customer service!! Ham steak was so tender. Roast beef was so juicy and fell right off the fork! Grilled cheese was, so well, cheesy. One of the best things was the homemade chips. And the pies were delicious! Cant wait to go again!!

Fridays they serve cod, catfish, and shrimp with salad bar. I was very pleased with the variety offered, and the Sicilian Tuna Soup was delicious! Lots of chunks of yummy tuna, and fresh vegetables! And, as a side bonus-- the waitresses Sarah and Stephanie were very cheerful, and made the atmosphere very upbeat. I will definitely come back again. See you next friday!

Not sure what I was expecting when I ordered the rib tips, but it does not explain that they are deep fried. Grossly over fried, burnt on all ends, crisp and crunch where you'd expect soft meat. Mashed potatoes were watery and felt like slime in my mouth. Roast beef dinner had off flavor, like it was old meat that had been sitting for some serious time. Very disappointed. Food has been slowly going downhill.

I have been here twice. Food was delicious both times. Waitress service was great the first time and very poor the second time.
