This place was fantastic for BBQ and my wife has the fish sandwich and she loved it! The staff were the best! It's two Historical train stations a must stop.

Really neat restaurant in what appears to be an old train station. The burger was great and the potato twists are delicious. The fried okra actually tasted like okra, which if you're a fried okra fan will come as a welcomed surprise! More often than not it just tastes like a fried, vaguely green thing, but everything here is fresh and flavorful.

Fantastic food and service. The rib eye steak had superb flavor. Ordered amaradillo eggs (fried cheese balls) and fried mushrooms. Best in the area.

Food was fantastic and decor was nice. We're in from Michigan to hunt and it was a delicious lunch after hunting all morning. Steak fingers were great. We'll be back to try more!

I LOVE this place. This place has character. The food is so good, service is great, The owners are the friendliest people and answered all my questions about the local history. You guys did a super excellent with the decor, I really love the tables, that's a lot of work, good job. Your hospitality was priceless OTR drivers are very welcome, There's a lot next to the building for parking. Stop by and enjoy the small hometown feel. Little gift shop that supports locals. Beautiful things. Wheel barrel need to get back out to your vehicle, because you will be stuffed when you leave

Lovely family owned/ ran restaurant. Stopped for a quick bite and had a great family dinner. The food was scrumptious and the service excellent. The owner came in person to check on us and make sure we were having a nice experience. Every dish is made from scratch with the most authentic flavor and freshness. The Ribeye and Beef Tacos are a must. Thank you guys.
