This place used to be one of my favorites for breakfast. The food has gone way down hill. Everything is highly processed and has zero flavor anymore. Not sure if it is where they are sourcing the foods or what. I probably won't go back to find out. Our waitress was moved from us to a larger party in another area. But they did not replace her. Not her fault, she was great. I gave service 1 star because who ever moved her should had someone else checking on us.

What an experience! It was a very nice meal. The waitress was awesome and it’s worth to stop and get your hunger taking care of with a meal that will make you come back and try something else! Congratulations it’s really “The old fashioned way”. 5 Stars Restaurant!

Oh an amazing place today. The food was so good and delicious and everybody had a great attitude. Sorry I didn’t take any pictures. I’ve been slacking all my reviews would come back here in a heartbeat. Amen.

Made a last minute decision to stop on our drive. Enjoyed fried chicken, country fried steak, mashed potatoes and country style green beans. We will definitely stop in again in the future.
