What our guests are saying

Our first time here, and it was absolutely delicious! We were able to meet the owner, and he was super nice. Carson was our waiter, and he was great! He made great suggestions and answered all my questions. We had the fried green tomatoes, so good. The patty melt was one of the best we’ve ever had. Chicken tenders were delicious. We got fried pies to go, and they look amazing. We will definitely be back!

Day date with my wife, and it was not a disappointment! It felt nice to sit in a place that has over 300 years of stories and memories made. Food was great, and the waitresses were attentive and extremely. I recommend stopping by if you’re traveling through for a little history and great food.

The second we drove up, we knew this was going to be a great experience! We met the owner and had a great conversation about the restaurant and what they recommended. Both the owner and Carson told me to get the patty melt. And even mentioned to add bacon and jalapeño. GREAT CALL! The fried green tomatoes, my patty melt, and the overall experience have made me a repeat diner! Keep up the great work!
