This was our 2nd time stopping here and sure it won’t be the last! Great place to stop and eat good home cooked tasting meals! From burgers, meat loaf meal, potato soup, beans and cornbread, to breakfast, there’s much to choose from! We had the blackberry cobbler ala mode and oh my goodness!😋Great atmosphere! Nice sized gift shop as well! Great food and staff! **They do charge a 3.95% fee on all credit/debit card transactions! Just a forewarning!

The food was excellent. I've been here before. I'm never disappointed. The country cooking is very well done. Chicken livers are great, as well as pinto beans and cornbread. Their fried chicken is delicious too. Take cash the card charge is almost 4% here.

If you want a slower Cracker Barrel without as many options for the same price then this is for you. Went at 10:30 hoping for lunch which they apparently dont serve until 11, unlike most other restaurants, and by the time the food came out we definitely could've ordered lunch. The eggs were cold and the hash browns too crispy and they only give 1 biscuit with the platter, but the gravy was good at least. They also charge an extra $4 if you pay with a card so needless to say it is not worth it. Can't say much about their dinner menu but I don't think I'll be going back to find out.

Located right off I-75, this restaurant was very easy to get to. And, ironically, it's just across the highway from Cracker Barrel. But with all due respect to Cracker Barrel, this place is worth visiting instead. They serve the same style of country/comfort food, and it's comparable to the big chain, but this is a local place. The server was fantastic, very friendly and attentive. They also have a small shop of home decor items, and even some pottery made by local artists. I recommend paying with cash if you can, but they do accept credit cards with a small surcharge. Overall, the atmosphere was very comfortable and welcoming. I checked out the bathrooms as well, and can confirm it was clean and well stocked.

Traveling to the Bera Craft Fair and stopped for lunch. The place reminds me of Cracker Barrel, but the dining area is not crowded with ample sized tables. Two of us had the turkey dinner and portions were large. They loved the flavor! I had the pork dinner and it was very good. The pork was tender and moist. Server was quick and attentive. A very good overall experience!
