I had the fried chicken and it was excellent! Definitely worth the wait. Their fried okra is also amazing. So glad we stopped to get lunch here. The service was excellent. Jesse was super friendly and accommodating.
Best roadside diner / truck stop if you want a hearty breakfast. Food was great and the coffee cups is a great topic of conversation
If you are traveling through or live in the area, this restaurant is a must stop. We stopped for breakfast on the way to Tennessee. We love a family owned place and they don't disappoint. Connected to a gas station so it may look like you should pass by, but you should stop. The food is homemade. Served hot and the staff is so friendly. Lots of seating and a favorite of truckers. We shared a breakfast platter and they split it up for us. Delicious hashbrowns, pancake, sausage, biscuit and gravy and eggs! Loved it!
This is a place that I hope will be here for years to come. It's unique, and comfortable with its small town feel. The customers ahead of me were greeted by their names. When you walk in, it's seat yourself. There wasn't a sign but I just followed the couple ahead of me and took their lead. The food was great especially the catfish and biscuits. I'm not a big fan of country gravy and usually top my biscuit with jelly so I didn't really try it. The catfish with Louisiana hot sauce, a little tarter and thrown on half a biscuit was perfection. It was lively on a Friday morning, and I imagine most folks come back on a regular basis. Prices were very fair for a diner or a truck stop. There isn't a ton of truck parking in Nashville proper, so this is a really nice stop just around the corner from Georgia pacific and right off 40. If you are doing a 34 here, you aren't too far away in an Uber into downtown Nashville if that was something you wanted to try. There's a really modern quick trip across the street that most drivers would probably appreciate. Great place to park for the night, just make sure you grab breakfast in the morning. I got the truckers breakfast with coffee for $14 and felt it was a great value but the entire menu sounds good.
Don't sleep on this one or be afraid based on the location. Nice and clean! Sweet servers. Good breakfast food served all day and other home cooked daily specials.
