I did not know this place existed!! I’ve visited many breakfast spots in N.C. I must say that this small establishment served up some damn good breakfast that was prepared with love. I was kinda skeptical at first but surprise surprise I found a diamond in the in the rubble. This will be one of my go to spots for a good breakfast. Please try the grilled biscuit. Ms Johnson who I had the pleasure of meeting was my server and she is sweet and bubbly. Saw only one cook on the back ( there could have been more) and she was on point with it all (THANK YOU). I wil definitely return

Thank you to all for a great experience. Ms. Teresa welcomed us in even though she is a local visiting that day. Made us instantly feel good. Rosio waited on us and was just perfect! Great smile. Michelle Johnson is a great manager! Will be spreading the word to make it a stop when you are near! Will try their bbq next door on next visit. Love it!

Let me just tell you… if you want good ol country cooking… this is it!! Reminded me of granny’s cooking… absolutely love their gravy! Everyone was so sweet, southern hospitality! Glad we found this place, we will be regulars!

This was a last minute Google search that turned out to be a blessing. The food was prepared nicely, the service was a 10! Michelle waited on us and was very engaging, we later found out she was the owner. The coffee was strong and the atmosphere was very friendly. Today is our anniversary and we had business in Four Oaks when we searched for Breakfast spots near us, when Michelle found out it was our anniversary, she presented us with an anniversary treat. This will be one of our breakfast go to places because you don't need white table clothes all the time to feel SPECIAL. 🥰
