The owner is a wonderful lady she is the menu they don't take special requests they have eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy and hash brown with toast and coffee. Very cute place I would recommend it just for the novelty in it alone.

Food was delicious. I think the air is broken in that building bc the antiques store was hot too. Cash only, but such a great value!

Real southern home cooking like you can't find anymore. Yes this food is greasy, and maybe even burnt at times. This is the type of food real southern people were raised on by their grandparents and if you were lucky your parents too. This is real take me back to them good' ole days comfort food

My. Peggy is the best that there is. I fell in love with her , her food and her little diner immediately upon my first visit. She is a gem and someone that reminds me of someone that I loved dearly mother in law. God Bless this sweet lady and her business. I can't wait to come back and visit her again soon
