Great Gem of a restaurant. Second visit was better than the first!

The owner was the only server when we were in on a Friday lunch. She was hustling to help everyone in the dining room. It took a bit longer, but she never needed to be reminded of a request or something she said she'd bring. Also, she worked diligently to social distance the guests and keep everything well beyond our comfort level. Now the good part, the food. All of the food was great, hand cut fries of several varieties. My pork tenderloin sandwich was clearly hand breaded and cooked well. Everyone was pleased with their choice. If we're ever in the neighborhood again, we're coming back.

Chicken fried chicken was really good. Just wish portions were bigger. Pork tenderloin is well worth the price. Noticed everyone was ordering sandwiches and fries so next trip I'll try those. Nice place overall.

Lots of menu choices, including "specials". I think I would describe as good comfort food. The service is where they really shine. You order at the counter, but they keep checking on you to see if everything is ok or if you need anything else.

This place is awesome! Everything we had was delicious and tasted home cooked. There was a good variety to choose from & it was very reasonably priced. The service was also top notch, they were so friendly and I love that it is a family owned & run business!

Small town but big in taste. Burger was cooked perfectly and fries are served without salt which was great. Chocolate chip cookies were a great dessert for the road. Will go back again.
