Had lunch here and the food was prepared so quickly! The service was outstanding and my shrimp wrap was so delicious. I also had some of the best fried okra ever. I highly recommend!

Eat here at least 2 times a week. The food is fantastic. Never have gotten any thing that was not good. Cannot beat the lunch menu.and the burgers are the best in Amherst and Madison Heights,very fresh and yummy there is no better place to eat at and the hospitality wow you feel like you are eating with family.why would you want to go to Mc.Donalds when you can go 30 seconds more and have an amazing meal.and believe me if you leave hungry, then that's on you. Carolyn the waitress is such a sweetheart just love her.and The owner Dennis Hunt,is an awesome person and can cook out of this world. Lisa and Mike Thomas

This place is amazing. The staff were very accommodating (we had a small child and a person with a walker). I ordered the club sandwich-it was fantastic! The burgers were large and very flavorful. The roast beef was amazing. My husbands steak was one of the best he’s ever had (he’s a picky steak eater). Truly wonderful. Very clean restrooms also. We were able to speak with the owners (who are also the cooks) and they were so welcoming and friendly. This is the best restaurant we went to on our vacation (SC to PA, even visiting a Brazilian steakhouse in VA). When we are in the area again, we WILL be stopping here to eat!

We were just driving through and found this place on the map. I'm a little homesick so I was looking for a home cooked meal. This lil place was perfect. Small little dining room. Prices are good. The owners were visiting with each table and the server was on her game taking great care of guests. I had an open-faced turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and green beans. Ordered the cobbler with ice cream for dessert. It really was exactly what I needed. Reminds me of a few lil cafes in the small towns I grew up in. Thank you and see ya next time we come through.
