Joella RumpzaMarch 21, 2013Fred is an awesome server, the gal in the gift shop rules, and the fried green tomatoes are to die for. Add on the free ride to and fro and you can't beat it.

John LAugust 20, 2013Go for the combo platter, then load that plate up with ribs and brisket. You can't lose on any of the sides, esp. the mac n' cheese, baked beans, and fried okra.

Smash BurnToneJuly 22, 2015Not bad until the hair found in the Mac and cheese but, things happen no biggie I guess $21 later 😑
Tamara McDanielJune 7, 2013The lady in the gift shop has a picture of her kissing Elvis Presley. Night!
Lauren LeatherwoodOctober 30, 2015Burgers are sub par, at best, but it was the cockroach than ran across the table as we were finishing our meal that really told the tale. Showed waitress, didn't care AT ALL, or discount the ticket.
Sally HerbertJuly 16, 2010Try the appitizer combo. It was a great way to try several southern favs'.
Try the Diesel fuel drink at the bar. Made famous by Johnny.
