Holy cow! Everything on the menu looked amazing, and what we ordered was filling and delicious. The missus and I are definitely coming back. It's totally worth the hour drive.

Despite the walk up appeal this restaurant was full of wonderful friendly people they knew the entire menu! Food was hot and delicious with each and every dish we ordered! Tea was amazing and our glasses never ran dry! I can't say enough good things about this restaurant and the people who run it we had an amazing meal surrounded by wonderful people including the patrons...

I ate here for the first time last week and it was great! Very friendly folks, service was great, and the food was delicious. I had the lunch chicken breast. It was juicy and flavorful. The place is a little small so I would imagine it gets pretty cramped on busy days. All in all, I would recommend trying it out.

Superb ! . This small-town This small-town cafe in Gladewater, Texas, is a hidden gem that I drive out of Longview just to visit. It’s hard to find authentic breakfast, steak and eggs, biscuits, and coffee without resorting to big-name commercial restaurants. The food here is home-cooked, just like grandma used to make . I Highly recommend when in the mood for good ole breakfast .

One of the best lunches I have had. The chicken fried chicken wasn't pounded thin like most places do. It was a normal breast cooked to perfection. Gravy, mashed potatoes & green beans really good. Rolls so tender. Hubby liked his ham omelet but kinda wished he'd gotten chicken fried steak. It was busy and thought we'd be in for a wait but was delivered quickly.
