⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — David Hollihan
Very cute little restaurant that the family stopped in while driving home. The line to get food was a bit long, however it moves fast. The portions are massive and there's plenty of food even with the lower priced plates. Quiet enough to have a conversation, but loud enough you don't feel like everybody can hear you.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Mike Given
The cafeteria style way of getting food was great. The food was fresh and smelled delicious, tasted great as well. Service was top notch and I would recommend the hash browns casserole. Can't forget the roll it was absolutely a must get.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Danielle
I usually eat lunch here with my uncle when in town. Food is good. Home-cooked. I like the squash and hashbrown casseroles.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Penny Zingre
We enjoy coming here after church and haven't had any issues until this past Sunday. A couple of the ladies at the food bar were rude. I thought it was just me who thought so but 3 others in my party agreed. The waitress was attentive and polite. The wait wasn't very long. If you like a good Southern home-cooked meal then you should come here. It was clean and the atmosphere was moving...it seemed like everyone knew someone there. It was like a large get-together. The parking lot is shared so parking was difficult to find.

Loved the meal I chose. The service was ok. She was very busy but polite. The cashier was a hoot and probably lifted the atmosphere of the dining hall.
