We came expecting good food and got incredible service and food! The owners are so kind! We off-handedly mentioned that we wanted okra, and even though it wasn’t on the menu, they made some for us! Great place.

Lovely family run business with great food, great atmosphere and at very reasonable prices. I had a Shrimp Po Boy sandwich with Onion Rings which was lovely and my partner had a Ham and Cheese Toastie to which she said 'that was the best ham and cheese toastie I've ever had' One of my biggest things is helping family run businesses and I can't express to everyone to check this place out if you nearby or like us detoured en route to Nashville from Memphis

Met a church friend there for lunch. It was she, and me and both my kids. We all ordered something different and liked the food. We got there at 11 and it was pretty busy. In short it was good, service was great. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a diner type atmosphere with fair priced delicious food!
