Good Waffles, but ...
by m0rris
The service was terrible. The waiter was rude, brought drinks to the table walked away, and did not return for 15 minutes, at which point he only returned because I had gone to the front to ask for the manager, who was not helpful in the least. Needless to say, a good tip was not left.
- Pros: Cheap, Waffles
- Cons: Awful service
Ho-hum
by Mariellag09
Nothing exeptional about this restaurant. It is your usual diner fare of pancakes and biscuits. The pancakes were just ok and my breakfast of eggs benedict was actually served on stale and cold engish muffins. The biscuits were the only good thing on the table.
I woudn't go back, I wouldn't recommend it either.
- Pros: Cheap
- Cons: Food is not the greatest, service is spotty at best
Wonderful Food All Around!

Everyone keeps mentioning breakfast (which is great!). But the daily lunch specials are fantastic! The service is very good with experienced waitstaff and prompt service. Great chicken 'n dumplings! The parking lot is small, however. This was the first home of Kemmons Wilson, founder of Holiday Inns, which accounts for the odd layout of the restaurant. It's fun to figure out if you're eating in what used to be the living room, dining room, a bedroom or whatnot :)
- Pros: Good food, friendly and fast service
- Cons: Small parking lot; lunchtime wait
