We had Carter as our waiter he was just incredible he took great care of us we never wanted for anything and then we are big guys that love fried potatoes and Barbara was the fried potato lady and we never wanted for fried potatoes even You can't probably eat at a better place with with this many people there were probably 2000 people here today.

Fantastic food and service with a festive atmosphere! In addition to the food you order off of the menu they have waiters who roam around offering you free extras like potatoes and onions fried together, beans, macaroni and tomatoes, dinner rolls, molasses (and I may be forgetting a few extras). The thing this diner is famous for is that anytime you ask for another free dinner roll they throw it to you. It's decorated with all of the state flags, Old Glory, and the flags of all of the branches of the US Armed Forces. It's not just a meal, it's an experience. I had the wonderful catfish dinner. They gave me a generous portion, so I didn't need any more, but if you eat it all and want more catfish they will bring you more for free. Get the candied yams, they're to die for!

First time there, the experience was great. Liked they way the guy throwing the dinner rolls didn't miss a customer. He needs NFL 💰 😁. The food was great, my grilled pork chops were mouth watering good, every bite just melted in my mouth. It was great to get extra sides when the waiters walked around, there were plenty to choose from. It was a day trip with friends and we will be back to try the rest of the menu and dessert.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

A Google User | Nov 5, 2019
Larry Nath | Nov 5, 2019

Yes but for a few dollars more we got extra sides that go along with the meal and split the meat. A real win, win for us. There are sides that are ordered off the menu, like baked beans, coleslaw, etc. and there there is that they call pass alongs that large pots or carts are brought by your table, like fried okra, rolls, etc. All is worth the unique dining pleasure and the reason tour buses stop. It is worth it but come hungry, leave full.
