Drove home from picking up my food to find out things were missing. Called to ask if food could be remade due to their mistake… typical non-compassionate response. Completely unapologetic. It’s unfortunate when I try to support local community businesses and their customer support is sub-par. My husband ended up going to the grocery store for the items to complete my meal. We need to do better.

One of the best homecooked style meals I've had in a while besides my own. Very warm, home style environment. Dope staff, awesome customers who come regularly. Some of the best orange juice, lemonade and catfish. I love it.

This place is a real hidden gem! They’ve been here since 1940. If you are looking for a high end, snooty spot, this is NOT it. This place transports you back in time where everything is cooked to order with love and attention. We lucked out this trip and caught it when it was pretty empty (filled up right after we were seated though). The food was wonderful! Sorry, I would’ve taken more pictures, but got caught up in eating! I got a side of wings added to my meal because they are just that good! No pomp and circumstance here, just good ole food with a flare of the past.

UPDATE 5/3/25: The food is still on hit. It's now under NEW ownership. Remodeled inside. Counter seating updated. The booths are all redone , also with an electrical outlet at each table. An extra bathroom is added. 3 big screen TV's added. Pendant hanging speakers playing the cuts. It can be hard to converse because the music can be blasting.
This is one of your hole in the wall spots. Been here more than 50 years. Same set up. Pancakes are done right. Have to get those fried pork chops with a side of grits. This is a in the city breakfast spot. Open in the morning and closes late afternoon. Seating is very limited. They have seating at the counter and several booths. Come on in and just wait until you see an empty spot. Then just go sit or stand at the table until someone comes and cleans it off. Parking is on the street and can be a little tricky. You can leave your American express at home. This is a cash only spot. No checks, credit , debit or IOU's. Food is priced reasonably and pretty tasty. Portion sizes are good.

Literally waited for 15 minutes for somebody to acknowledge me and when I ordered they didn't tell the cook the order so I waited another 15 minutes then just left because I didn't want to lose my temper. One girl was on the phone the whole time. The other lady was just playing with her gadget.ik embarrassed for them and disappointed
