Customer Reviews

Wow! What an excellent restaurant. We chose it based on good reviews and it was even better than expected. My husband had an enormous plate of catfish, fries and excellent hush puppies. He loved the slaw. I had the buffet that was hot and fresh. It was near closing time and you wouldn't expect such good food and variety. With salad bar and the best sweet tea, only $13.99. To top it off was banana pudding and some of the best peach cobbler you'll find. Kellie was a super waitress, she takes care of you. Definitely give them a visit

Reminded me of a former family restaurant in our local town. We will visit the next time we go into the Mount airy area. The food was excellent!! Thoroughly enjoyed the Friday night fish fry and the Sunday morning buffet breakfast. All the options. All a good southern cooking with attention to detail from our servers.

A fantastic breakfast on Easter. You can never go wrong with country ham, eggs, and coffee. The service is what really stood out to me here. Respectful, charming, and attentive. My coffee was never empty and they never hesitated to ask if we needed anything else. Definitely coming back next time I'm in the area.
