Great Sunday spot! This is our go-to after church. It's usually busy, but the line moves pretty fast. The food is fresh, and the people are friendly. Thank you for being a staple in the community. This week, I had the fried pork chops with rice and gravy and topped it off with dessert—pineapple cake! We will be back.

Ended up here because we were going to another restaurant I. The area however it was full. I love cafeteria style food however my husband hates it. His thoughts are you go in a restaurant, sit down and order. He was pleasantly surprised how good the food was. The line wasn’t long, staff was excellent and food was delicious. We I’ll go back agai.

Awesome Southern Style Cooking that hits the spot every time! Perfect service and the place is spotless. If you find anywhere more reasonably priced PLEASE let me know. I hope they don't read this and jack up the prices. As good as it gets for a Cafeteria and I've been to them all!

Not sure what you're in the mood for? This is the place for that. You can have more than ten completely different meals. Love all the options and the great low prices. Try the Pecan/Grape salad! Catfish is excellent. The strawberry cake is so moist! Baked apple slices- a secret treat. It's a fruit!(dessert!!) Porkchops are awesome, meatloaf, chicken and dumplings. Every hearty comfort food is here and tastes great. So many more to list!

Every time I eat here or order takeout, the food is always wonderful and the staff is always polite and helpful! Excellent atmosphere and quick service. Restaurant is always spotless! Pork chop served with two sides of fried apples and cabbage is my favorite entree. The sweet ice tea is wonderful. I adore the wide range of decent selections and the reasonable prices. I love the homestyle cuisine; it's incredibly tasty... I can't wait to come back!!

This is very good southern cafeteria style food. I have been here several times. Everything I have tried is very good. The service is outstanding. The guy who works the cash register is very friendly and is always really helpful to my mom by taking her tray to our table. The atmosphere is nice, clean and very spacious. This is a must try if you like cafeteria style food.

I had to get some work done on my car, and I decided to go here for lunch. An excellent decision. Cafeteria style food served with the southern flair. The food was hot, fresh, delicious, and comforting. There was a line, but it did not take long to get through. The menu was varied enough to satisfy everyone's tastes. The portions were generous. The line service was courteous. I got hamburger steak cooked perfectly and smothered in a rich beef gravy. The mashed potatoes were fluffy. The lima beans were soft but not "smooshy". The rolls were slightly dry but go great with gravy. The tea was truly sweet tea. The strawberry cake was moist.
