Customer Reviews

"This small out of the way restaurant was truly a gem. The food was very very fresh and very tasty. The service was great the guy who was manning the front was very attentive despite the fact that while we were there the restaurant became almost completely full. If you're looking for a good home cooked meal out on the road or if you live in the area definitely try them out you won't be disappointed!"

"This has become our go-to restaurant in Tarboro for breakfast. The hashbrown casserole is out of this world. And the portion is so large that you can't eat it all in one sitting. The fried catfish & shrimp were perfect. I love a restaurant that serves fish but the smell doesn't overrun the place. Service is phenomenal. Great little spot for some really great food. I do wish they would add tenderloin biscuits to the menu, but that's just a personal request. We love this place."

"My husband and I stopped in for the very first time. I love small quaint little places as such. We both ordered the fried chicken/bbq plates. I had white meat and he had dark meat. Usually white meat costs a little more then dark meat, no matter the restaurant. NOT here... We paid $44 for the two. We didn't like the NO prices on the menu. How are customers supposed to know if they're being up-charged, just for NOT being local? Wonder how many non-local stop in, only because they're passing by on the highway. *We've had that happen once before at another restaurant. No prices listed and charged more because we weren't from around there. Other than the price issue, food was good!"
