Dining here felt like stepping back into a time when food was made with care and comfort, reminding me of meals my grandma used to prepare. The generous portions, friendly service, and nostalgic atmosphere made both visits memorable, especially with those addictive hush puppies and hearty southern classics that left everyone at the table satisfied.

The historic charm and friendly service create a welcoming atmosphere that keeps diners coming back for more.

Every one was nice and polite. The food as always was very good. They have a salad dressing that is out of this world (Derby Dressing). Service is always fast and you get your food in a short time.
