★★★★★ 5.0 Janette Zurliene · Oct 2025

Loved the diner atmosphere and old time country music. Waitress was so attentive and sweet. I had grilled chicken with sides of okra and cheese cubes. My husband had the yummy ribeye cheese steak with onions and a salad. Chef came out and offered extra onions on cheese steak since he didn't want peppers. We shall return.

I've always wanted to stop but never had time until today. I had my two grandson's with me, we all really enjoyed the food. And the sweet tea was awesome. Some places just don't make it right. Definitely would recommend it.

Drove about 3 hours to what We thought was the Great Farris Family Restaurant, We didn't know They had closed. We should have known things weren't the same when We pulled in at lunch time and only 2 cars were there. Food was very limited on the buffet table, temperature of the Food was cool, and tasteless, We told the waitress and She relayed the message and the owner ? came out and put His hand on warming table, THATS NOT how You check temps. I've ran a restaurant and cooked for Years and that's Not how it's done. No apologies given from establishment , the bill was outrageous, it wasn't worth a penny. We Will Never Go back and We will let all of Our Family and Friends know not to go there.

Great place to eat. Spoke with a worker there (Tawana) who was very helpful, polite, and friendly. Good service and food. 👍👍

I've had the haystack and the jalapeños popper burger. Both were very good.
