It's just plain ole simple country goodness. Don't look for it to be fancy, look for it to have good prices and great food!

The review from Sandi is WAY off! The chicken is moist and crispy and it reminds me of my Grandmothers. The food is always outstanding. One of my favorite southern cooking restaurants.

Their breakfast is a tremendous value- a ton of food for a little money. It's classic southern breakfast, and absolutely delicious!
