It really was nothing special to me and I tried it twice because my mom loves it. Once with her and once without her both times a lot of my food was overcooked.The best thing about that place is the fries.They are phenomenal......

Great food. The fried chicken is the best. Always hot, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The servers are very nice and the restaurant is comfortable. I come to Smithfield often just to come here and have lunch. I am lucky to have found this place since it is behind a gas station/convenience store and recommend it to all!

Got a 2 piece combo and a porkchop sandwich. The pork chop legit had no flavor The chicken was ok. Pretty dry even though I got 2 thighs. Fries were very salty compared to everything else. Their lemonade and iced tea were ok. Anyway, all in all not worth but give it a try I guess.

Update: Look at the size of the ham biscuit. So flaky. Previous: Today two sausage link scrambled breakfast plates. One with tots and biscuits and the other with grits and toast. Update: I have been for breakfast several times when I have an auto appointment around the corner. Today we got two scrambled plates (one with cheese-hoop was my choice) with bacon and tots and fluffy biscuits. I ordered a side of tomatoes for freshness. They have the good ice and I always get the mix of tea and lemonade (the best). Other visits included over easy eggs with country ham and grits and toast. Previous..Got me a snack box during the morning. Chicken hot and crispy. The slaw was good. Love the biscuit.

It breaks my heart to write this because the owner appears to be a nice lady. My wife and i will never patronize this restaurant again, not after lunch today. We used to eat there a year ago. Today the food quality was poor. My wife knows their shrimp all.too well. No doubt they changed their supplier. The shrimp sucked, so much so that she took it home for her cats Also l, the 23 cent senior discount was appalling on a $35.00 bill. What a joke. But the worst was when leaving. I already spent 35 bucks and went to the counter to ask for a to go box. The Hispanic lady says she'll give me a paper bag. I pointed to the shelf and demanded a to go plastic tray , after saying....I JUST PAID YOU 35.00. I am done with this restaurant. Not to mention it's filthy. My arms stuck to the na
