We ride motorcycles with this as our lunch destination. we've introduced many friends to the Williston Location. We've never had a bad meal. All of our riding companions love the experience. Only thing I want to know is where are they going to reopen afterthe fire?

Crispy chicken is really good along with cornbread roll salad veggies and what ever else roll and more. There is one in Williston and Ocala. But I think it's name is different in Ocala. Down town near park down the street I have been to both. Love it.

Service was decent considering how we came in without reservations and were sat right away, albeit right by the door but nevertheless. The food was also nothing too spectacular. It was fresh and the menu offers a good selection of down home country eating. My husband got a better dish than I did so I suggest going for one of the actual meals instead of the sandwiches. My burger was good however and the patty is thin. The baked crispy chicken meal comes with two veggies Mac and cheese cornbread and biscuits and a side salad! It was a steal! The decor is really cute and old timey. With a Victorian flair to the exterior, the interior is decorated with each room different styles and all very quirky and vintage. Hand painted interior walls with murals of flowers and vines make it feel like you are dining in someone's home. It is a very unique and cool place and deserves a visit if your ever in the downtown area of this small town! We sat it in the pine room which featured rustic fireplaces a Christmas tree and vintage cabin decor. Just overall a very cool and unexpectedly pleasant experience! Highly recommend!

This was a very pleasant surprise. I passed this place several times. Never paid attention that it was actually a restaurant. It's an old Victorian house. The inside is beautiful. Very nice atmosphere. The service was very good. The food was excellent from appetizers to dessert. Their ranch that came with the fried green tomatoes was out of this world. The ranch dressing that came with the salad was good too but not as good as the green tomatoes one. I had to order some extra ranch just to eat it with other staff I liked it so much (I'm not a ranch lover). The batter they use to fry their food is good also. The only ok part of the meal was my crispy chicken wasn't that crispy. Everything else was perfect. I even ate my veggies and I never eat veggies! Everything tastes like some good old fashioned homemade food including the dessert. I didn't ask but maybe the owner is a southern food chef style?! I saw a cooking book for sale there and the only place to buy it is the restaurant (that's why I'm assuming the chef part). The prices were good and the portions were of European size but very fulfilling because of the taste. I'll definitely stop by there next time I'll be around Williston. They had a very appealing menu that I'd like to finish trying and some more of that ranch dressing ?. And their raspberry drinks were very good (tea and soda)

This historical restaurant is just so adorable! There are many little rooms inside and outside on patio. They have a little gift shop/boutique on the top floor of the restaurant. The server was nice but not very knowledgeable or friendly. The food looked great but unfortunately was very bland. Not sure if that is because it caters to lots of seniors but there was no seasoning and most of the food. I had a steak and the seasoning was added with the butter while cooking. Nothing on or marinated before and it tasted as so. The peanut butter pie was delicious!
