We're talking classic roadside America right out of the fifties. A giant King Kong waving you in from the road. Warn the kids about the scary Humpty Dumpty greeting you at the door. And a lot of fun once you get inside - velvet Elvis, plaster of paris Elvis, pink flamingos and walls lined with all manner of memorabilia.

Good home cooking too. I was there for breakfast. Pork tenderloin, a couple of eggs over easy, grits and a fresh baked biscuit. Lunch and dinner - down home diner fare including meat loaf, chicken fried steak and an Elvis Burger.
