A cute little place. Very cozy, homey atmosphere. Service was prompt and so sweet. Had a very nice breakfast. The coffee was hot and fresh, my omelette was perfect, and their cheese grits are life changing. If you think you don’t like grits, you just haven’t had them from here. Will definitely be back.

Great customer service. As close to home cooking as you will get outside of your own kitchen. If the door is locked, the owner may be serving the current guest or have a full dining room.

We found this place on Google and decided to take a chance. I’m happy we did. They offer a variety of lunchtime options, including spicy and non-spicy options (for those that cannot tolerate spicy foods due to medical reasons this is a bonus). The owner was super helpful in making suggestions and everything we ordered was delicious.

Now this is some quality cooking. Savored every bite and if they didn't run out of this special, I would have ordered a second Ms Terri was so kind and you could tell the love she puts into her restaurant and her food.
