This place is a legend in the area and known for its southern soul food and finger licking breakfasts. It’s not for the faint at heart or heart patients for that matter, since you’ll gain a pound simply by inhaling the grease-filled air. However, it is a quaint spot tucked inside an old style cottage where the service is nice enough to be considered old-fashioned. You’ll find both the young and old chowing down on fried green tomatoes or biscuits and gravy for prices that look like they haven’t changed in decades. And don't forget to grab a lollipop on the way out!
