It was so good I had chicken fried steak with a lot of mashed potatoes, salad, Italian green beans. They gave me a taste of all the cream pies which was so good they don’t open till next Monday but this was a peak event I paid nothing for my lunch. Service was great and hardly a 2 minute wait. Servers were kind and friendly. My coffee cup was filled before I could empty it. Sandi and I enjoyed it so much. You have to eat there ask for Angie(not Angie Glen) to wait on you 

Business response:
