  On our trip between Asheville and Raleigh, we were getting hungry, so while we stopped for gas, I checked to see if there were any places nearby that might be tasty. This place popped up on my recommendations, so we headed over there.
  
  This place was bumpin' even on a weekday lunch time.
  
  We both ordered the small BBQ pork plate. This is one of those "meat and three" types of BBQ places, and there were a lot of sides to choose from. I decided to go for the hush puppies, fried okra, and potato salad.
  
  Everything was tasty! The pork was a little bit on the dry side, and the BBQ sauce had a little bit of an unappetizing skin on it when it came out (I imagine with all the traffic they get, and the speed with which our food came out, they are setting up a lot of stuff in advance.) Overall, everything was delicious, and we had a perfectly filling lunch to speed us on our way east.
  
  Service was super friendly and very attentive. They tried to talk us into dessert, and I kinda wish we had, it looked great!

  We stopped here on the way back to Burnsville from Morganton.  I ordered the Smoked Chicken Salad Croissant with French Fries - I asked if I could substitute Onion Rings for an uncharge, but the sandwich with fries is $8.49 and to add onion rings was another $3.99.  I opted to stick with the sandwich and fries.  Defiantly not the best chicken salad - had lots of dark meat and only one grape, which was whole.  Don't expect regular cut fries, as these were more like potato chunks - and were quite good, just not what I was expecting when the menu said home fries.  
  
  My husband ordered the popcorn shrimp with baked potato and pasta salad.  I ate some of the pasta salad, and it was very good.  He said the shrimp had way too much breading and the baked potato tasted like it had gotten cold and been rewarmed in the microwave.  
  
  My friend ordered the grilled chicken breast, with fried okra and baked potato.  He said everything was delicious.
  
  We had coconut pie and chocolate peanut butter pie for desert.  The coconut pie was very good, but a tiny amount of coconut custard with a huge topping of whip cream.  I would not order again.  Chocolate peanut butter pie was amazing.  
  
  Hushpuppies were delicious.
  
  Waiters were quick, attentive and friendly - they bring you your own picture of ice tea and your own coffee pot - very nice.
  
  Lesson learned - don't order chicken salad or fried popcorn shrimp at a BBQ place.
  
  Give it a try - I would defiantly eat there again if I'm in the area.

  Biscuit and gravy, scrambled eggs, hashbrown, liver mush and a pancake with orange juice for $9.86.  You just cant beat the home cooked meal or the prices. The place is clean and has two sections to sit in, might even be a banquet room off to the left as you walk in.  The main seating area is off to the right and it is broken down into sections, some tables or booths. The floors were clean, I loved that they provided silverware in a white paper bag, that way its not sitting out on the table.  I did ask out waitress to wash the table down, but Im sure this wouldn't have happened if it was not a seat yourself restaurant. The coffee was excellent, orage juice ice cold delicious. The liver mush is made locally and it was liver made with sausage spices, It was alright, I think it would be better if it was a sandwich. The biscuit and gravy was alright, lacked meat in the gravy. Pancake was so big I had .25 of it and gave up. The maple syrup came warm and I think that is a great quality, it shows that the restaurant pays attention to details.  We also ordered an omelette, which was also very good.

  Very disappointed. The brisket came out pre sauced and seemed like maybe it had been in a skillet to reheat with the sauce tossed in the skillet. The green beans and beans taste no different than canned product. Was expecting more from the reviews. Its decent dinner food but bad BBQ
