I've heard about this restaurant and how good it is. The egg roll with pulled pork, Mac and cheese, and collars was great, so was the desserts. Small town restaurant with great food and service. We will go back. Menu has a variety of options.

★★★★★ 5.0 Daryl Toerck · Dec 2025

We had the Sunday lunch buffet on our way to company meeting. OMG it was so, so good. I’m going to schedule another business trip again to the area so I can try the menu. The owners greeted us and service was top notch. Loved the new place where they relocated. Lovely building, amazing inside and the owners and staff get it. It’s worth a little drive off I26 to get the good eats. I highly recommend!!!!

Delicious food, kind & attentive staff. Great place to grab a bite! This tuna wontons & pork belly bbq burnt ends are my FAVORITE. Great owners and staff. We're lucky to have big flavor in the small town setting😍 Mckinley & Madelyn are the best of the best of owners
