★★★★★ 5.0 Cathy Holman · Nov 2025

Good food at a reasonable price. A relaxed atmosphere with seating that will accommodate most body types. Seating well spaced to allow for patrons with any mobility issues. Tables and floor very clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was incredible. Chicken fried steak with eggs and fluffy biscuits and homefries. Hot coffee with an extra carafe. Can also get a cup to go. Can't ask for more than that. #Ada #access ##holmansellhomes #steak #service #coffee #butter #biscuits #eggs

If you want a down home type meal this is the place. You can get breakfast lunch or dinner anytime. Our server was great! Very nice.

★★★★★ 5.0 THE IRON IVAN · Dec 2025

Ordered Grilled cod filet and shrimp with Cajun seasoning and loaded mash. It was really good. Food came right out, Server came ceveral times to check on me if I need a drink refill or anything else. A+ all around.

My friend and I shared their fried chicken with green beans and tator tots. I have to say that the fried chicken with hot honey was the BEST fried chicken that I have had in years! Not over breaded, not over seasoned, but crispy skin and juicy meat that just hit the spot. Four pieces of chicken and two sides was plenty for my friend and I.

★★★★★ 5.0 Hewman Bean · Feb 2026

Ate here twice in the last couple weeks. Not mad about either meal. Staff was freindly, food was good. Don’t expect a big thick steak for $25, but it wasn’t bad. The fried shrimp were great. Good salad. The hot fried chicken with sauce on the side was good. The sauce wasn’t my jam. Glad the server suggested on the side. Don’t be afraid to sit down and have a hot meal here. Not many places left where you can. Also, the pin is on the shop, not the main building. Someone should probably fix that. 🤷🏻‍♂️
