Authentic, Southern, homestyle cuisine. Everything from country-fried steak to biscuits and gravy. Stop by in the morning as well for buttermilk pancakes. A gift shop is attached to the restaurant if you'd like to pick up a t-shirt or unique souvenir. I'd recommend ordering to-go or reserving a table ahead of time, as this is definitely one of the more popular destinations in the area.
