I love that I can call in a to-go order and just pull up to grab it or sit and my car and wait to order. The grouper sandwich, grouper dinner, fried okra and fried pickles that I have tried have all been cooked to perfection and delicious. I can’t wait to get some fried green tomatoes! True southern food and served in large proportions for a fair price.

This roadside diner is very cool. You park and someone comes out to your vehicle to take your order. My & my Partner had Yellowjacket burgers. They’re huge. They ask how you’d like it cooked and actually cool it that way. The burger came with fries and a lot of them. I also ordered fried Pickles highly recommend. Staff was very nice and our order came quickly. We will definitely stop back

Service and quality of food was lacking. Only one server for the lunch time rush, so the time to get food that we were explicitly told was “premade” was unacceptable. Others’ experience may be different but ours was bad. Other tables were served prior to our parties, and some tables waited at least 15 to 20 minutes to even have their drink orders taken and menus delivered. Highly unlikely to try again.

Never get a salad from a fried food place. The $9 “large” chef salad was about a cup and a half total of brown iceberg lettuce, ham and chopped American cheese. No eggs, cucumbers or anything else, pre-drenched in dressing. I had to throw it away without touching it. I’d post a pic if I could. Lesson learned.
