Food was amazing! My son absolutely loved it! He had the cheeseburger and fries, and we shared the chicken fried steak, hashbrowns, and eggs with the side of Texas sized pancakes.

This is a great old-fashioned diner that my son was dying to take us to he goes there every weekend. It was really cool and I was impressed I feel like I was back in the '60s everything now is so commercialized this was a great breath of fresh air.

We were visiting the area and looking for a place with veggies and this great place didn’t disappoint! We had collard greens, okra and onion rings( they also had broccoli and several other options) my husband had the Tuesday special(10.) of Texas succotash) there is a different one each day). My main course was chicken fried chicken (perfect batter) (a Texas favorite). I chose the half size meal for 6.99 and it had a great portion. The rolls come with each meal and are sooo good!All of our food was delicious!! Notice in my pic the Texas sized onion rings with delicious batter!! Everything about the restaurant earned 5 stars, I highly recommend it!

This place is really good. They have a diverse menu, got the spinach tacos which were soo good with the salsa, then also blueberry pancakes. Everything tasted delicious. Not shown in the photo was the chili, grilled chicken, and squash casserole (side) which were all super yummy. Our server was really nice and accommodating he was great. Definitely recommend

Saw many eggs, despite current prices. Staff friendly, despite egg prices. They have a notice about firearms safety on the wall. This did not suggest shooting any eggs. Oh! The omelets are tasty!

First of all if you want the best texas country break/brunch/lunch/dinner this is the place. Me and my best friend come to this place all the time it's our go-to a small gem in a small town and I love it. There's so many items I would recommend I do love the breakfast tacos and my new favorite is the non-traditional Club. The bacon was crispy, the ham and turkey totally completed the sandwich . Such a great and friendly staff. So clean and the service is so fast thank you guys for serving me. U got a regular here
