Shrimp and grits. That is all I can say! Perfect diner style service and great breakfast. I just wish they had real butter, I know itâs a small thing but I have been tempted to bring my own butter! Service has always been friendly and prompt!

We stopped here for lunch a few weeks ago. We just happened to be in town helping with disaster relief from Hurricane Florida. My wife had the pimento sandwich and loved it. I really enjoyed the special sandwich of the day. So the food here is tremendous, and the service is A+. We met the owner, Marty, and were impressed with his heart to serve and provide great meals at a fair price. If we lived closer, this would be our go-to restaurant for good food.

Their website (and even their menu in the restaurant) says they serve breakfast. We have dined here for breakfast before; it was bustling and the food was good. However, this time when we arrived we were told that the owners had âchanged their mindsâ about serving breakfast because it wasnât busy enough and then we were turned away. Ironically, every other person in the restaurant at that moment was also there for breakfast.

Went for dinner on Saturday night. It was early so the restaurant wasn't too busy yet. Love the live music by saxophonist. They also have a piano and sometimes have live pianist.Bread basket appears to homemade. Buttered with parmesean sprinkled on top. Ordered filet mignon medium well temperature, came with 3 red potatoes. Not sure if it also came with a green, but wanted salad and charged $5 for a house salad. Steak was cooked medium well, seasoned and tender. $30 plus $5 for salad. Also got shrimp and grits. Plated beautifully in a bowl with bacon. Shrimp cooked to Perfection, grits in a nice firm cake with fresh mushrooms and herbs. An alfredo sauce covers a dish. $20Also got macaroni and cheese small plate. It's homemade with bechamel sauce and melted cheese on top in a skillet. It was okay but I would prefer a little bit of kick like some black pepper or maybe pepper jack cheese. Pasta shape was rigatoni, would prefer actual macaroni. Pasta shapes are smaller than rigatoni and easier to scoop up with a spoon. There's just a flavor layer missing to my palate. $11Two entrees, one small plate, and a soda was $75 including tax.
