Best hamburger I have had in decades. I was very surprised by this, but even more pleased. It was cooked perfectly and the meat was tender. I was only passing through, so I won’t be able to determine if it was a one and done or if the hamburgers are always good there. My only disappointment was the lack of vegetarian options for my husband.

First time eating here and it won't be the last. Excellent food, service and people. Family owned and worked. 5 generation young lady waited on me.

Amazing breakfast! Such great food and extremely nice waitresses. We had the young dark haired waitress and she was so pleasant and helpful. My family is picky and hard to please but they did it!

In two words... Top notch... In three words... Cheap..Quick..Delicious. When I'm out and about I'm always looking for biscuits and gravy.. these guys definitely have some top notch B&G for sure. Breakfast for two people was 15 bucks with both of us ordering an extra side and a drink. Worth the stop!

I love the old restaurant feel, servers are great. Best cole slaw I've ever had and I'm southern. Country fried steak was thick and tender.

Great breakfast. Both of us left well satisfied. The food was very good and the service was excellent. This was our first visit, we will definitely be going back. Both breakfasts with drinks cost less than 15...which my husband loved :)

My son and husband eat here weekly and I try to stop in for lunch at least once a week with them as well. It has always been great, however it is now FANTASTIC! The staff is so very friendly and attentive. While I have not met the new managers personally, I have observed them interacting with staff and customers and they are truly exceptional. They now have Happy Hour 1 drinks and special recognition days with meal discounts. Our waitress, Julie is always the sweetest!
