★★★☆☆ 3.0 Mike Fredell (FireManMikeF) · Sep 2025

Food was average, service was lack luster, THEY DO NOT ACCEPT CREDIT OR DEBIT CARDS! Feel like that should be on the door and menus and is not. They charge for everything, to go cups, to go plates, if you share there is a $3 up charge on the menu, your restricted to one refill, IF they even offer it to you. This for me is a one and done kind of deal, I usually try to experience a place twice before saying I won’t go back, but the wife and I probably won’t go back.

★★★★★ 5.0 Chad Scronce · Nov 2023

Prices are Excellent!! Under $5 for a breakfast sandwich and this place is a home cooking place, made to order. You will not find any place better in Lenoir!! They also serve lunch. I haven't tried it yet but I'm sure it's Great!! You have to stop in and try it. Update, that's the ham and cheese omelette with grits. Cost $10.14 tax and all. Comes with a large coffee or tea. If there's a better place for breakfast in Lenoir, I don't know anything about it.

The food was very good to say the least! Freshly prepared good choices and plenty of it.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jay Bummy · Aug 2025

Was surprised by the size and quality of the food based on price, and it was absolutely delicious. Our server was a little distracted but the owner made sure we were taken care of . Very happy with this place and am looking forward to coming back

Good food, good service, excellent Sweet Tea and coffee. Great plate lunches but the breakfast choices are my favorite. Friendly staff.
