We’re one part soda shop, one part meat-and-three, and one hundred percent bona fide Southern eatery. We cook each meal fresh from scratch daily, following time-tested recipes and honoring our founder’s meat-and-three legacy. Bring the kids around for a treat, grab lunch with friends, or drop by for a shake and fries. And did we mention the pies?

    From the moment we walked in, everyone went out of their way to be sure we had a great experience. The new space is wonderful and feels like it has been there forever. It was everything a meal out should be.

    It was so delicious I came back the next day. I can’t even tell you. Have the banana pudding, the chicken and dumplings, have it all! The servers were as sweet as can be.

    The food is always wonderful. The service this time was lacking. I kept having to get up and go look for our waiter who seemed to disappear regularly. No refills, forgot food items, had to go get our silverware after asking for it. And what really did it, he hovered over me while I was checking out, we felt rushed, which was not nice. We will be back but hopefully this was just an off day for him.

    Made reservations for husband birthday. Birthday was never mentioned or acknowledged in any way. 2 of us ordered milkshakes. Didn’t get them. Had to ask waitress for them way after we were eating. She did not apologize. Acted like she had no clue what we were talking about. Took forever to get her attention to pay bill. Requested paper receipt never got it. I will return but I will not sit in her section
