This should be America's favorite Diner as it is now my favorite and I don't even live in North Carolina. Quite enjoyed the fried flounder with Hush Puppies scrambled eggs fried bacon and grilled biscuits Lord Jesus I had the culinary holy ghost from that great food and those folksy and kind people it was like dining at a relative's home

This has a hole in the wall feel. If you like a small diner atmosphere you will like this place.I would bet they have their regulars.I love their tuna sandwich. They have a pretty big selection on their menu.My only complaint is they close at 2!That is a bummer! I didn't realize this until recently, and was craving their tuna.But if you're an early riser, and can get in before 2. Check this place out.

Erin absolutely ROCKS! Service was fast and consistent. She was funny and friendly but still seemed to do the same for all her other tables. I'm not a rich person. So me and my friends try to find good places that have good food and don't break the bank. Especially LOCAL businesses. Food was really good and not crazy expensive. Kitchen was a little slow. If they could get that fixed they'd be the only place we'd go. But like I mentioned, service was fantastic. This place is really what all restaurants should try to be like. (And sit in Erin's section lol)

We have been coming here for 10 years now. We even stop in when we moved to VA. They have great food. Establishment is own by a hard working family of women. Highly recommend the pork chops and Phat Daddy burger.
