“ The food was fine. I ordered the veggie plate. If I had known there was a vegetable of the day, and that it was okra, I would have ordered it. Service was ok when they finally figured out who would take the table. There was no communicating about specials and very little communication about where to pay, etc. Pretty non involved. I'll eat there again when I want southern food. It's good. Not stellar. ”
“ If you are looking for an old-style diner, look no further. We were seated fast, waited on fast and checked up on regularly. You can't ask for much more in service. Our server gave recommendations when asks and was nice as can be. We had the daily specials at lunch on a Wednesday. Everything was delicious. It came out fast. I've heard the breakfast is just as good, if not better. ”
“ Wonderful food, fast service, nice portions at a reasonable price. Highly recommend this place. We had enough food for a second meal ! ”
“ Amazing simple southern cafe. Friendly, helpful servers. Great food. Wonderful hometown cafe experience. We have been there more than a couple times and will be back. It is well worth both your time and money. ”
“ Hard to believe I hadn’t been to this Huntsville landmark before this morning…Neeley and I had a few errands to run then the sky opened up…busy place but they really move folks through! Everyone was smiling and super friendly…we grabbed seats at the bar and our server took great care of us! The food is simple but the simplicity is what allows it to be damn near perfect! From the pancake appetizer to my Blue Plate Breakfast, everything was perfect. Grits were hot! Cheesy Hash was still piping hot down to the last bite. Look forward to going back to try lunch! Wish I could remember our servers name but she was a delight! ”
