    I was just passing through and decided to stop for something local, and indeed, local it was. The atmosphere was great, with down-to-earth service. I particularly loved the manager, as well as the attentive service we received at the cashier's desk. The food is definitely well-known and welcoming, as the flavors are extremely popular. Drive-through service is available, but sitting inside with the air conditioning is worth it to enjoy the old-fashioned decor. Bathrooms are clean, and tables are spacious. Definitly one to be repeated.

    Visiting from out of town and so glad we stopped here. Looked like many other people know about the good, home style food because the place was packed and it was nearly 1 pm. Ordered the Daily Special which happened to be baked chicken with dirty rice, beans and a sweet cornbread. Got a sweet potato pie and lemon cake to eat later. Seriously one of the best places for real Southern cooking. Maybe go back for dinner! And the staff were all friendly, helpful, kind and professional. Thank you from the great Pacific Northwest.
