⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Carl Cady
Nice small town restaurant. Plenty for the hole a family to chose from. Good fish and chops reasonably priced. Daily specials to change things up some. Friendly staff and plenty of seating and parking.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Tim Myers
I have been coming here for years and my only complaint is that they no longer serve breakfast. It used to be one of the best breakfast at a reasonable price but unfortunately due to circumstances out of their control it's now a thing of the past like their chicken wings 😞 However the staff is still amazing as well as the owners and it's still a wonderful place for lunch or dinner!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Rebecca Gilstrap
The food is delicious Southern cooking yet owned by a lovely Greek family. It's a quiet atmosphere, great service and great food!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Jerry Stevens
Great family restaurant. The owner of Powdersville Self Storage is a client and friend and she always invites me to lunch here. It's always good food and good service.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Eden Parker
Absolutely love the food here! Best chicken finger plate around and I drive 30 minutes out of my way to get there! Love the homemade ATHAS sauce and their honey mustard! The waitresses always have good manners and I’ve never had to wait very long.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Christine Hiatt
Ordered take out. We got a hamburger plate, hamburger steak special, a hamburger club, and grilled chicken plate. All of it was really good. Definitely plan to go back since we live close. Prices are very fair. I wasn't inside long but it was clean and everyone was very friendly. Added photos of the menu, since the last photo of it I could find was a few years ago. :)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Carl Blackston
