“ Found this spot on our drive north and we’re super impressed with their made from scratch food! excellent flavor, freshness and pricing… the peach cobbler was also amazing … the burger was great, Philly cheese steak was perfect and the corn nibbles were just right! ”
“ Great down home family food Very good experience ”
“ We stopped here on a road trip down Highway 19 from Tallahassee to Weeki Wachi, and ended up loving it. We were actually surprised to find an old school southern buffet, and even more surprised at how delicious it was. I had salad, a great lunch plate, and dessert, and was so full and happy. Also, there are tons of options on the buffet for little ones. Three years old and under are free, so my 3yo was covered. I just happened to mention that my tiny 7yo would eat the same amount as the 3yo, and without even saying anything, our waitress let her eat for free as well! We would absolutely stop here again if we're ever in the area. I actually texted my dad while we were still there eating, with the pin on the map and a pic of the food, because he travels a lot for work and I knew he'd love to check it out! ”
“ I come in this area once a year and my cousin brought me hear. Couldn't have been better. 3 different Waitresses. Checked on me. The food was homemade tast and the price not that bad ”
“ Let me tell you about this place! I had read the reviews and was a bit skeptical, especially when I came across comments about the bathroom being dirty. However, I soon discovered that restaurants with less-than-perfect bathrooms often serve the best food! I did go in the bathroom to wash my hands, and it was very clean. Thank God When I arrived, I was greeted by an older lady who was the sweetest person I encountered in the whole town. All the waitresses were very nice, warm, and welcoming as well!They had a buffet with some decent-looking food, but I decided to try the liver and onions—yes, I said liver and onions It was incredibly tender, and the homemade gravy was absolutely delicious. On the buffet that day, they also had fried chicken, and the young lady working there even let me sample a piece. It was so good that I had to take some home with me! I ended up getting fried chicken, black-eyed peas, and this cheesy dish that I initially thought was macaroni. It turned out to be little pieces of potatoes smothered in this gold cheese sauce, and it was amazing—I was really upset I didn’t get more of it! I can't wait to pass through this town again. Keep up the good work; it truly was a Southern home-cooked meal! Sorry I didn't take any pictures. I couldn't put my Fork down!!!! ”
