I used to cook a lot. A lot of big family meals. I needed that when I went, some comfort food. Loved the country food pick me up!!! Our waitress was awesome! The service was the best! I ordered turkey and dressing with mashed potatoes and a side of greens and cornbread I added 2 more sides of green beans and deviled eggs. It was so yummy! I took some coconut pie to go. My husband ordered ribs and loved them! Can’t wait to go back when I need some home cooking!!

Had a wonderful breakfast here this weekend. The food quality and service were excellent, and the portions justified the price. We enjoyed both the biscuits and gravy and the pancake skillets. My only suggestion would be to serve these dishes on regular plates rather than actual skillets - while visually interesting, the long handles take up a lot of table space and were uncomfortable to eat from. Overall, a satisfying experience with generous portions!

I had honestly forgotten how wonderful this place was it had been years since I stopped in. I'm so thankful I was near oak ridge and we decided to go everything was wonderful. We had three different dishes plus we ordered three exra sides. Their desserts were also exceptional.

This meat and three is amazing. The pot roast with gravy hit my palette with a rush of flavor that made me say, “wow!” The potatoes au gratin complemented the pot roast. My server Suzanne graciously replaced my salad when it came with bacon bits. She was very nice and made the whole experience of dining here that much better. Kudos. Highly recommend this local eatery!!!

Our waitress was friendly and informative. I had the meatloaf which was more of a meatball but quite tasty. I enjoyed the corn pudding and cornbread stuffing. Wife had the full Thanksgiving turkey experience and loved it. Dessert was also excellent. Real comfort food.

Brent was our server and he was absolutely the best—so friendly,and he got us everything we needed. The food was exceptional; absolutely everything was delicious and fresh! We tried a few of the desserts the the peanut butter brownie was the best. The chocolate pie was good, but the crust was raw; it should have definitely been cooked longer. I just ate the filling. My mom had the carrot cake and said it was delicious. 10 out of 10; I would recommend this place. It was amazing. Just skip the chocolate pie, or make sure the crust is fully cooked. The food is in my top 5 places I've eaten in and around my area.
