We stopped here on our way to Hilton Head. Small hole in the wall place. Had great breakfast for a way reasonable price. Coffee was good too. My 4 year old daughter shared from our plates, but we got her a side order of pancakes. They made her a butterfly and flower...was totally amazed. What a cool surprise so unexpected.

Stopped here for lunch on my way to South Carolina and it was an absolute dream! Everyone here (including patrons) was SO friendly! Food was amazing. There are daily specials where you can choose an entree and 3 sides for 8... such a great deal! Overall great experience, highly recommend stopping in.

The sign caught my eye as I was driving through and I love “good home cookin,” so decided to stop. The chili cheese burger was large and served on a warm, soft bun. It for sure hit the spot! And I had a lovely conversation with local patron regular, Mr. Pete. Would definitely eat here again!

This place is the TRUE Heart of Haywood County! There may be parts of the county that are in turmoil (or just downright rude and awful), but this place is a true sanctuary from them all! In addition to the best home cooking available in WNC, they serve love at no extra cost. Anyone who trolls this place does not deserve the good that comes from here. May the Peace of the Lord be with you ALL!

Little Mountain town, mom and pop diner like I grew up in. Food on the table less than 5 minutes during a busy lunch service only 2 tables open. Food was great, real mash potatoes. Small diner with a small parking area. If parking lot is full, the diner is full. But there is additional parking across a busy four lane road. Daily specials.

Last minute stop on a road trip so didn’t know what to expect... What a GREAT decision this was. Folks, trust me the food was spectacular, the service was fantastic, and the down home feel was something you rarely find today. We LOVE this place. I’ll drive 2 hours out of my way now just for a quick meal. Doesn’t matter what you order it’s all delicious!
