Most Disliked
A few customers have reported longer wait times, particularly during peak hours like Sunday mornings. While the food is typically praised, there seems to be a consensus that the restaurant can get quite crowded, leading to waiting periods that can be frustrating for those eager to dig in. While this indicates quality and a loyal customer base, it's essential for first-time visitors to be aware of possible delays.
Some reviews hint at a lack of unique vegetarian options on the menu, which might deter plant-based diners. Additionally, during rush hours, noise levels can rise, which affects the cozy ambiance. Diners seeking a more tranquil setting might prefer visiting during off-peak times. Despite these drawbacks, most patrons remain loyal, returning for the unbeatable comfort food and warm service.

Excuse me for not replying fully to this review. We came to this restaurant past the half of July 2023 because occasionally we would pass by this location on the side of the road on our way to Huntsville and wondered to ourselves how good was this place actually? We found out it was a family restaurant which was something we were looking for. We drove all the way to from Gadsden to eat here, due to the fact that we keep coming to the same normal places we visit. Well when we drove to the parking lot I saw a number of cars parked there, which was a good sign. Once we entered we needed to wait maybe Almost 20 minutes to sit. Upon sitting down me and my parents saw this restaurant to be a good atmosphere. On the backside of this place they had some trees and few flowers in the background which was pretty. As a resident of Gadsden it is a shame that we don’t have a decent family restaurant as they do in Albertville. We just have fast food, huddle house or Cracker Barrel which is disappointing. To start our orders I had the large hamburger with fries and my parents had the baked chicken with veggies and bread. I enjoyed the burger, the meal was a decent size and as for my parents they also enjoyed what they had as well. I would say it was a good experience coming here.

Off the main road but with ample parking, this quaint little restaurant has plenty of personality. If you want to meet up with friends and hang out get a table in the back and enjoy the atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and the food is some down home cooking. I had the burger cooked medium and it was perfect, with a side of onion rings. Enjoyed my meal very much.

This is the place for breakfast in Albertville!! Great atmosphere, phenomenal service, and even better food. I had some eggs, sausage and some grits. Excellent meal and very reasonably priced. Definitely recommend this place for breakfast.
