Been in Ga for years and never knew about this quaint place. Only 3 items on the menu cooked fresh when you order. Food was excellent, Great peach tea and great desserts all included for a super price. The owner Nikki and the Staff are some of the most pleasant people you will ever meet. Eating here is like going to your aunts or grandmas house for dinner. Only open Friday and Monday nights.

Food was delicious, and the service was great. The price is unbeatable. Delightful atmosphere. The owner was very sweet and friendly. A very quiet and laid-back experience. Saved the best for last: the sweet peach tea is to die for.

What a charming experience having a meal at this very downhome restaurant. I saw there were two negative reviews. Obviously those reviewers had no idea what to expect and shouldn't have gone. The experience is more like being invited to a neighbor's home for dinner. I grew up in the south and truly enjoyed the food and the experience. This is home cooking and it was very favorable. And I loved the peach tea which another reviewer couldn't even be bothered to remember the name of the drink. If you are looking for quick service, chain restaurant quality, this is not your place. If you are wanting a great old southern dining experience, arrive early in order to get a seat.

The food is great. Best ice tea I've ever had but it's the atmosphere, hospitality and kindness that put it over the top. Her light shines bright and a very special lady. The world needs more of her
