While vacationing we decided to try this mom and pop type restaurant. Let me just say that was a great decision on our part. The decor was clean and cozy. Customer service was excellent. The waitress was so sweet and helpful. They kept our drinks full and the table clean. The wait was not too long after we ordered. Prices were reasonable, especially for the portions. The chicken fried chicken was excellent. I liked the fries, I wasn’t the biggest fan of the mac & cheese, but it was still good. The possum pie was slap your mama good. If you are in the area this is most definitely a must try.

We're from Texas but we felt so welcome and warm in this restaurant! Our server took great care of us! Everything was so tasty and fresh. We got fried pickle spears, fish and chips, a kids chicken strip meal, and the pork chops. For dessert we split a strawberry rhubarb pie and a piece of Boston cream pie. Everything was wonderful, the bathrooms were so clean, and everyone was friendly. Thank you for a wonderful lunch!

Well, where to begin. First the bakery- it ALL looked delicious. I recommend eating lunch and dinner. After 4p. You get a complimentary cobbler with ice cream after your meal, if you have room for it. Lunch was almost perfect, the hamburger was done not medium and the steak burger was done not medium rare. But everything else was 5. PORK LOIN super moist and full of flavor, hamburgers were very good in flavor and you could tell hand patties. The loaded mashed potatoes was a meal in itself, and tasted like More!! The home made Mac and Cheese was very good and must have been baked in the oven, it was just like mommas. Onion rings were huge and tasty. The appetizers -well - fried green tomatoes, zucchini and mushrooms with a big bottle of ranch definetly tasted like More. There were four of us and 2 of us needed a box. Very fair price for that pork loin with 2 sides, needed a box after all the appetizers. Will recommend you come here to eat. Very good service from our lovely young lady. 5

We sat on the patio in the back so our dogs could sit with us. The older lady was so sweet and brought the pups some bacon. Food was delicious,

We stopped while traveling to pick up pastries. We got a lemon blueberry turnover, a boston cream chocolate croissant, apricot turnover, and a coffee cake. They were awesome! I highly recommend any of them. We knew it would be good because the parking lot was packet when we pulled up. The pastries were delicious. Please give them a try if you are passing thru.

The liver n onions was cooked to perfection, which is rare in restaurants. It's a couple hours to get there from our house but we'll be back! French night looks ahhhh-mazing. Something for everyone here! Thank you, Home Plateyou rock!!
