That was the best breakfast we have had there by far. The cook needs a raise to make sure they stay to cook that amazing breakfast every time we come. Great job

I ordered a hot dog all the way and a double cheeseburger with lettuce tomatoes Some ketchup with an iced tea to drink. My Ice-T was sour. My hot dog was awful not sure how you can make bread rubbery? But they happened to achieve this feat. I gave the hot dog to my dog and she only ate the weenie. My hamburger had neither the lettuce or tomato I had ordered on it. It did come with a lot of gristle. My absolute first time being there will not go back. How disappointing. I'm mad I gave them money for the items I received

Down home good food! Don't let the building fool you. The food here is just as tasty as any "fancy" building restaurant and the kitchen is probably cleaner! Good service, good food and a VERY friendly atmosphere! What more do you need?

I brought home my order of 2 BLTS, french fries, coffee, and 2 sides of macaroni salad. It was our first time ordering food here and our experience was absolutely wonderful. We can't wait to order Sunday brunch next week. THANK YOU! Beverly

Been going here for over 23 years. True hometown food and service. Don't let the exterior fool you. The food and staff makes you feel like you've gone back 50 years, where the priority is quality.

It’s impossible to find the atmosphere that is here in today’s time. It has that back in the day dinner feel. When you go in you’ll feel like you’ve been going here forever. These ppl cook great. They make my breakfast every morning now before work. Love it.

Great little hole in the wall diner. Great food and really friendly employees. I usually go for breakfast and get the biscuit and gravy platter with a side of bacon. I highly recommend this place if you're hungry and near Longview. It sits on hwy 64-70. The parking lot is on the smaller side so parking can be an issue depending on what time of day you come here to eat. A must try if you're in the area. 9/10.
