Me and my husband and son just discovered this place (we have lived in the Wilmington area since we were born) and we can’t get enough of this place. Good southern style cooking. They also have daily specials with sides. Last time I got the chicken & dumplings and potato salad! I can’t get enough of their potato salad – so yummy! Very affordable & fast we never wait long for our food to arrive. Staff is great. 10/10 recommend

Great atmosphere and true Homestyle Restraunt feel. When you first step theru the door you feel at home. The hospitality is grade A and the service was awesome as well. Prices were as expected not bad at all. The specials should be a little cheaper considering they are specials however the prices were great. The food was great also I can say the special “stew beef and rice” was a bit bland and could’ve use some kind of zing. Tasted ok and I was satisfied with the food. Would recommend stopping by for a Southern Treat 🙂

Had not eaten here in years so stopped for a late lunch. Menu had chicken livers, which I love, so I ordered. Unfortunately they were very hard…as if left over & refried. I asked for gravy to put over them & it did help. But will not order them again, if I ever go back. Service was awesome!

A classic Southern diner experience with streamlined ordering and check payment processing via QR code, if you like. It was perfect! The biscuits and gravy were great as well as the fresh tomatoes, grits and corn-beef hash. Five Stars!

Awesome little restaurant with excellent food. One complaint is that they didn’t serve real butter, but whipped spread. And the potatoes were instant. The food was great otherwise and served hot! Has a lot of locals so you know it’s a local fav. Good stuff!

First time eating here but will not be the last. The french toast is amazing! Christin was a great waitress, very friendly and welcoming. It was pretty crowded but didn’t have any trouble finding a seat. They should put the breakfast menu on their website. This place may be my “go to” spot for breakfast. It’s that good!
