On 5/3/2025 Debbie Hampton had this to say:
This place has been here over 100 years and still serves excellence in all they do! Definitely exudes the class of family dining out in the past. Our favorite place to eat, when we come to town to visit. The fresh salad bar, soups and home baked bread are always an excellent addition to their great meals. I leave feeling stuffed to the gills every time we visit and always end up taking food home as well; especially after they bring those scrumptious desserts by your table, as you definitely need to save room for those. Classy, personalized and attentive service, without the pretentious feel of country club dining. The stuffed shrimp I ordered on my last visit was cooked to perfection. They were quite friendly and supportive to my grandaughter, as we were teaching her ropes and etiquette of finer dining. She was well behaved and did great!
