Always wonderful, have been enjoying the staff and selections of food for at least 35 years! And know of people who ate here as far back as 1948. Several owners and many generations of people.

This place has a very old school vibe. If you love cafeteria style restaurants, then this is the place for you. The okra was awesome, as was the broccoli casserole. They serve the tiniest chicken fried steak I’ve ever had, but it was really good. I would return and recommend.

You walk into this place and the ambiance is so peaceful and comfortable. The staff makes you feel welcomed and are friendly and attentive. The food came out after about 7 minutes and everything was fresh and hot. The lemonade was amazing and the coffee is great. The whole experience was pleasant and we will definitely be coming back to have breakfast here. Thank you Jay for the great service. Staff is bilingual.

This is a must see cafeteria. The fixtures and service are like going back in time before everything became a chain public company and the workers are just commodities without a soul. The staff was friendly and the food was great for the price. I did not try their bakery selection but plan to in the future. It will be sad if they remodel. PLEASE leave everything as is and of a more simple time gone by when people were generally happy with what they had instead of constantly on social media, worship of celebrities, etc. It is way better than Luby's.

He cooked meals. Beats lubys hands down. Large selection of food. The baked fish and carrots raisin salad is to die for. You must try out this place. It is a hidden gem.

Very good old fashioned Southern food in a cafeteria setting. Recently re-opened with new owners, So glad to see a business come back and the bakery gives are fresh and delicious.

Great home feel made food. Wish I had pictures. My bill for 3 people with 2 plates to go (order toooo much food) $45. Try it. It great. Menu changes everyday.

Y'all this place is AMAZING! I remember coming here as a kid to get kolaches. This place is a must I will definitely be back the food is delicious and the Bakery breads are so good and not pricey at all! This place is so much better than lubys.
