May 2, 2026Our waitress was Great! Other staff was standing offish. Maybe it was an off day.
Thankfully our waitress had a great sense of humor and very honest. Helped make our decision for lunch easy.
We were not used to hearing no "corn" since its not seasonal. Thats not something you hear in Texas.

May 1, 2026I usually come her for breakfast and get the country fried steak and eggs with hashbrowns and gravy. It's usually very good, generous portions. The daily specials are usually very good too, especially the "all you can eat" . I tried the meatloaf on my last visit and although some people may like it, I didn't enjoy the flavor or consistency. I was also disappointed in the mased potatoes which were overly thick for my taste and somewhat gummy. The brown gravy was also too salty in my opinion. The fried okra was excellent. They also make very good sweet tea and the service is always very good.
