This place is pure meat and three - four or five daily specials. I went for the chicken and dumplings but word has it the fried chicken is mighty good. Saw a couple of plates of meatloaf pass by that I'd be real happy with too.

And the sides. Twenty three to choose from. Maybe a few more as specials. I had stewed tomatoes, sweet potato casserole and cabbage. Choice of corn bread or biscuits too.

People always say, "Save room for dessert." For real this time. All homemade. I went for a slice of coconut pie, but the peach cobbler looked great and their banana pudding is famous throughout the state.

Went back for breakfast a couple of weeks later. That's the Gary Morris Special - Lite!!! - Two eggs over easy, a fried to order chicken breast, potato casserole, biscuits and gravy and grits. Non lite gets you a second chicken breast. Gary Morris - he's a country singer who knows a thing or two about a good country breakfast.
