“ Great breakfast spot! Cooked to order and always delicious! No frills, just good food, good company and a good price! Breakfast platter with eggs, cheese grits, ham and toast...another breakfast with pancakes, bacon and eggs! They also carry bottle drink that give you a blast from the past!

“ Driving in Hammond and saw this place and looked very inviting. Made a U turn and stopped in. Lots of variety on the menu. I got a beef and a pork sandwich. Both were flavorful and super sloppy with lots of sauce. I heard the burgers were even better. Going to try one next time. I’ll definitely go back! Worth a stop, oh and very reasonable prices!! ”
