Great breakfast place! We had an attentive and kind waitress, Teresa. We had BLTs, pancakes, and sausage gravy biscuit. The BLT had bacon that was just crisp enough with fresh tomato. Teresa recommended hot sauce on the biscuits and gravy. The pancake was shaped into a Mickey Mouse silhouette and was perfectly fluffy. The grits were creamy. Will definitely come back.

It’s a diner with locals eating there. I loved it! The grits were 100% white corn. I had two over-easy eggs, grits and four sausage patties. Coffee and more coffee. Food, service, and price are all excellent.

Service and food is amazing. You definitely don’t leave hungry. Found this place on vacation and it’s the only place we went to more than once. They remember you when you walk back in.

A hearty delicious breakfast! Decently priced and the Biscuit & Gravy was smothered in gravy, heck yeah! Not the first time I've ordered this, it's been hot and fresh every time. The Home Fries are chunked potatoes, nice and crispy.

Stopped by for a quick breakfast and we were glad we did. Ordered the eggs benedict with grits. And the big joes supersize special. Food was amazing, accompanied by great service from Theresa. Would highly recommend!

ORDER THE BISCUITS! Came for breakfast, and our table ordered a bacon/egg/cheese biscuit sandwich (huge, BTW), a Philly cheesesteak omelette, biscuits and gravy, and chocolate chip French toast. Don't skip the homemade, fresh biscuits!
