5 /5 DeArmon Bill (Bill): I came in here on a whim on Thursday June 10th 2025 right around noon. I wasnt planning on eating here I had just met up here with someone to purchase something off FB marketplace, since I was in the parking lot I decided to go in and get some lunch and Im glad I did.
On first impression coming in I felt like I went back in time to an old cafeteria for senior citizens, and it is kind of that way but its open and airy with plenty of good booth seating. The music is depressing as its all old mostly from the 70s stuff, which is ok but I dont like crying over my food usually! Bit of a joke there so dont get upset if you love it!
The good news is the food is actually pretty good! Usually these types of restaurants actually do cater to the local elderly crowd and so sometimes the food is understandably bland but not so much this time.
I was seated instantly (apparently seat yourself) and was greeted immediately by Kelci, a great server with a very pleasant and beautiful smile and a very professional and efficient demeanor.
I ordered the grilled catfish with mashed potatoes and green beans. The catfish was surprisingly good with a nice flavor (even though the filet was almost tiny, luckily I wasnt too hungry, it still tasted good and the tartar sauce is came with was perfect). The sides I had were mashed potatos (again, nice flavor but no gravy) and the green beans were pretty fresh even though probably from a can, and those were pretty bland.
Funny thing is there were no bread options for the meal but it was lunchtime so maybe thats why?
They also have a large selection of desserts which Kelci helped me pick through. I got a slice of German chocolate cake which was huge and delicious, I couldnt finish it.
Also the tea is good old southern tea, I had the half and half because its pretty sweet but thats the way its supposed to be!
Overall the place was very clean and smelled nice. Theres ample parking outside and the location is convenient.
I will probably come back when in the area but wont make a drive from where I live in Cartersville just to eat here.
So overall Im giving 5 stars for the excellent service (thank you Kelci), 4 stars for the food, 3 for the atmosphere (kick up the music to add in some modern rock or something!) and 5 stars for cleanliness, parking and location.
Definitely recommend for locals and folks passing through.
