"The menu provides many choices. The atmosphere is open with plenty of seating. The service is top notch. They are very friendly and fast. The portions are insane! You’ll never leave here hungry. Great great place!"

"A charming family restaurant right off Hwy 64. They have a great menu with lots of tasty options for comfort food. Huge portions, at remarkably reasonable prices. Meals come with table bread and decadent amounts of whipped butter and honey butter. Their Nashville Chicken and waffles is delicious, order it "extra hot" if you like heat. They are a bit mild by Nashville standards, but the seasoning blend in the breading tastes great, especially with the cinnamon honey butter and table syrup. The portion size is 4 quarter Belgian waffle segments and 3 chicken "tenders" plus a side. The tenders are roughly a full breast, breaded cutlet each so come hungry or be prepared to pack a to-go box."

"We were a large party of 20. There were other large parties seated next to us. The waiter let us know that they were short staffed. I don't really blame him. We never got one refill. The food wasn't that great. Our daughter ordered the tin can nachos and there was barely any cheese, it didn't touch even half of the nachos. Our older daughter got the heart attack Burger and it wasn't that great. My husband got ribs and it was dry. Our waiter was very kind but like I said he was stretched a little thin. That wasn't his fault. We felt sorry for him."

"Big portions on everything. Costs a little more, but considering the portion sizes it should cost a little more. All the entrees and appetizers I have tried have all been fantastic. Well worth the 60+ minute drive. Only a 20 minute wait today. Normally 30-45, but so worth it."
