Tasted just like my Granny's peach cobbler. Highly recommend this to any and everyone. We'll most definitely be back!!”

“We visited here for lunch after a road trip to the Alabama Music Hall of Fame. This is a solid little spot for country cooking.

The sign for the place is a little hard to see and I missed the turn to enter the parking area initially. Made our way back and found a spot, though the lot is a little bit hard to maneuver. We walked inside to a slightly hot, slightly dim interior. It's larger than it looks on the outside. A friendly waitress told us we could sit where we liked, so we took a booth near a window so we could see the menu better.

Their choices were fairly varied for lunch. Lunches come with a meat + 3 veggies and your choice of bread. I ordered the boneless fried chicken breast, macaroni and cheese, fried okra, and at the recommendation of our waitress, the hash brown casserole with a roll as my bread. My mom got the country fried steak with brown gravy, macaroni and cheese, fried okra, cabbage, and a roll. My dad got the same thing except he subbed the cabbage for greens of some sort, though I can't recall if they were turnip or collard greens. He also got the fried cornbread.

Our waitress was very nice and patient with us, even with my dad chatting her up, lol. Our food came out quickly. You pay at the register up front -- we thought the prices were reasonable.

As for the food itself, it was enjoyable! Simple, straightforward, but tasty and comforting. The chicken was breaded expertly and was cooked well. To me, the stand out was the fried okra, which was perfectly crisp. We also enjoyed the macaroni and cheese, greens, and chicken fried steak. My mom said her best thing was the cabbage, which was surprising at first -- but I agree, the cabbage was excellent! The hashbrown casserole and the fried cornbread were the only two letdowns; the casserole needed to be cooked and seasoned a bit more, and the cornbread was likewise a little on the floppy side, instead of having pleasantly crisp edges.

Overall, though, solid country cooking at a reasonable price served quickly by nice people. Give them a go if you're in the area.”

“When we first got there the place was packed but we got seated pretty quickly. Ordered the hibachi combo and some orange chicken. The rice on both meals was very dry but overall the food was good. I have no complaints about the orange chicken but the hibachi, I have one complaint. The hibachis taste was good but you could tell the flat top was in desperate need of being cleaned. But it is very affordable, most meals ranging from $7-$15 and you get a lot of food for a decent price. For two people we only spent about $23.”

“We are in Muscle Shores visiting. We stopped in for dinner to have steaks. The steaks were the best I've had in a long time. The waitresses were so friendly and they all helped us, not just one assigned to our table. They had karaoke going on while we were there. This is a really fun restaurant. I cannot say enough good things about this place. The only regret we have is we found this place at the end of our trip instead of the beginning. We would have been there every night. if we lived here, this would be our place. 😊”

“We have visited here 3 times within the last few months and have enjoyed it so much! The place is always clean, there has been new party decor all over each time we’ve been, all the staff has been so friendly and accommodating, food is always great! Tonight was extra special though. It was my daughters 6th birthday. We didn’t have a party planned..we just went for a fun outing, although there was another party going on at the same time we were there. So Chuck E got to come out. My kids were so happy to interact with Chuck E! He danced with them, played games with them, took pictures and videos with him.. he made sure every child in that building got time with him. I was so impressed. This place gets a 10/10 from us! We will absolutely be back!”

Was not a huge fan of the beans and rice, but all the vegetables and meat were great. The restaurant's atmosphere from a decorative standpoint was the weakest link but it was still clean and not reason enough to not try it for yourself. I honestly enjoyed my experience as a nice lunch restaurant and would go again.”

“We had a decent meal. The fries, though hot, were not all fully cooked. The nibblers were good, but it's possible the buns had been sitting out too long. The front counter worker did a good job but didn't fully understand when I asked for an extra plate (we ordered two nibbler meals for three people). The drink machine was spewing syrup, so maybe repairs or cleaning is needed? We dined outside and noticed broken tables against the railing that really should be repaired or removed. So, overall, it was not a bad experience. The best part was the view of the sky as we ate.”
