This is one of the oldest family owned restaurants in the state and it shows in its perfect execution of old school comfort food with such sublime classics as chicken fried steak, meatloaf, chicken and dumplings, onion rings and pork roast while also tipping their hat at local comfort food such as enchiladas.
The chicken fried steak is served on a bed of gravy which is a little off-putting at first when the plate is delivered and you don't see the visual assault of the gravy smothered steak. Luckily the food is so profoundly devastating that you quickly rationalize that every CFS should be served this way.
But this isn't just your plain old "comfort food" good, no this is like "last meal on earth" good.
The ambiance also adds to the flavor of the restaurant with its wood-paneled walls, classic booths, old school lunch counter and the walls decorated like your grandfather's basement.
Some of the downsides are that it has a tiny parking lot and limited seating coupled with a band of loyal customers means that it can be hard to get a seat. But the friendly staff and the outstanding food make up for its limitations.
Also be advised that Credit Cards are not accepted so be prepared to pay cash. There's an ATM next door if you forget.
