★★☆☆☆ 2.0 RahRah Adams · Jan 2026

Husband wanted to go because at some point it was voted #1 place to eat in Clinton, but I have NO idea why. Went Sunday after church & I don't mind long lines when food is worth it, but it WASN'T. Each: 1 meat, 2 sides, 3 hashbrowns, soda for very reasonable price, but TRUST me, wasn't worth it. And a fight almost broke out between 2 grown men. Will NOT be going back.

Visiting mom in area not many options open on Sunday for breakfast. Not many options period here actually. Was long line checking out when we arrived so we picked a spot to stand to wait for a table. Hostess or whatever walked right by us to greet the nice non melanated party. She gestured to us as we were waiting first. Hostess then basically told us to choose from 2 tables, no menu or nothing. The waitress came To take our order but I informed her we didnt get a menu. We ordered pretty quickly, took about 20 minutes for 2 dishes. Wont be returning.

Hopefully I won't have to go back to this restaurant. Food was tasteless. Our waitress was awesome but, the food, not so good.

One time and done. Came here for breakfast. Hash brown tasted terrible. Dry, uncooked. Omelette was okay but not flavorful, to small. Pancake tested like from a frozen Department section at the store... you got to add some buttermilk to it guys. Atmosphere deserve zero stars. Guys please play some type of the music in the background... nobody wants to listen people chewing.. Service was terrible, had to wait for a menu forever... was about to leave too... my coffee was never refilled. Server has 0 enthusiasm. I really like prices here tho and it's just because server gave me wrong receipt :)... to even out my standings here and be honest, I left a tip

★★★★★ 5.0 harry puckett · Jan 2026

The food was hot and fresh and service was great.I did ask for real butter and was told by the waitress she would get some from the kitchen and but none was given.I can't have the fake butter as it makes me sick so I ate without it and warm syrup would be nice but you get a bottle of cold .other than that it was great food.
