Customer Reviews

This place deserves a solid five stars. All the food was fresh and incredibly tasty. The pecan-crusted chicken was amazing, crispy on the outside and juicy inside, made with tender chicken breast. The fish was delicate and perfectly cooked. Everything we tried was full of flavor. Service was great. Our waitress was really nice and attentive. The coconut meringue pie was unforgettable -- I've never had a pie this good before. Definitely worth trying. The atmosphere was cozy and pleasant. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the fried zucchini. It was too tough, with too much breading, and oily. That part was a letdown, but everything else was excellent. Highly recommend

Cute cafe with lots of visitors writing on the wall! We had an egg sandwich which was cooked just right and I had the best fried okra side dish! There were a lot of good menu items just didn't want a heavy meal on a road trip. Service is friendly. While it looks like they get out of town visitors there were a lot of locals wishing each other a good holiday!
