    The fried green tomato BLT with the homemade pimento cheese has to be one of the best sandwiches I have ever eaten. The cake was great too and I had wonderful service. Prices were reasonable too!

    Some of the best biscuits and gravy I’ve ever had. Try it with a side of home fries.

    The air conditioning is on and cranking, so if you're younger than 60, bring a sweater.

    This place has great desserts but they need to improve their sanitation grade. 92.5 isn't too good.
