We had a delicious combo plate of chicken and fish. Delicate batter, fried perfectly. Wait staff was great! We will stop again.
Great little mom and pop restaurant. The food was good at a great price. Friendly staff.
There are very few things that I loved growing up, the biscuits and gravy from here are one of those. After all these years, I still love them x2
Small mom-n-pop old fashioned sit-down breakfast. Grammas cooking. Great breakfast. Great value. Limited menu, but that was part of what I kiked.
The original De Soto dive! Great fried goodies and good local beers. The bartender was extremely friendly and welcoming to out-of-towners.
Totally delicious food. Awesome teenie restaurant! The 3/4 Burger is my favorite. This is one of my favorite places to eat!
Nice place for dinner and drink. Friendly atmosphere and down home vibe. Had to try the fish special. Heard it was really good
This was a great surprise. It's a down-home place with friendly owner and people socializing for a great morning breakfast. The prices are fantastic and the full order of sausage and gravy biscuits was delicious as were the hash browns. I'm sure the lunch menu is just as good. This is a great stop for an affordable breakfast
