★★★☆☆ 3.0 Don Shoemaker · Feb 2026

I dont know if we caught them on a down day, or if people just had better luck with the food. This place, for the price, is less than impressive. The turkey, thinly sliced, had a severely processed taste and texture. The catfish was greasy and mushy. The broccoli casserole was awful also with a mushy texture and poor flavor. The baked beans were decent but not great, but was the best item on the plate. My wife got a loaded baked potato and rather enjoyed it. The person that waited on us at the counter (older woman) was attentive and talked with us, the other 2 younger women behind the counter looked and acted as if they couldnt be bothered. The place seemed clean and had a nice atmosphere. Unsure if we will return. I wont rule it out as there are other dishes which may redeem this e

Went there to grab lunch. Staff was wonderful. The food left a lot to be desired. I ordered 2 plates and one was wrong. No flavor, tasted like cafeteria food. The chicken was the only good thing to eat. Will probably not be back.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Mary Bloodworth · Jan 2026

Front counter was nice and helpful. The food came out promptly little to no wait time. I ordered the half chicken plate with baked beans and Mac and cheese. Unfortunately the chicken was very very dry, and had no flavor. I pretty much drowned it in white sauce which was pretty good. The baked beans were mediocre the best thing was the Mac and cheese which had a big piece of plastic from I assume a wrapper in it. My husband got a ham sandwich with the same sides. He also said the ham was flavorless. Atmosphere was nice, but I don't think we will be making a trip back.

★★★★★ 5.0 Laura Bee · Sep 2024

Stopped for dinner on our way to Florida. My chef-husband said the ribs were amazing. I completely agree! Cooked to perfection, they didn't fall off the bone until we wanted them to. Absolutely fantastic. Dry rub was delicious. Both sauces are gluten-free. I got the brown sugar green beans. They were really good. I didn't know such a thing existed. The vinegar-based cole slaw was really good too. Staff was very helpful with my gluten-free order. Brought me a new plate when the kitchen added a roll to my dinner, making it no longer GF. I did not have a reaction :)

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Angel Wolfe · Dec 2025

Atmosphere was really nice, I felt like the flavor of the pork was bland even with the BBQ sauce, and the beans were different but not in a bad way just not the flavor I was expecting from baked beans. It was a little bit of a wait but everything came out hot and fresh.
