They were very friendly & said on my 1st visit I should try the pulled pork sandwich. It was huge & easily weighed 2 lbs. It was 12.85 for Sandwich, fries, & side of slaw. I'm a... More

We have previously eaten in this establishment with no problem. On this visit it was not exceptionally busy. There were three other tables of customers. I dined here with my husband. He ordered the pulled pork sandwich. I ordered a $5 special, one half sandwich with honey mustard on the side and bowl of soup. It took approximately 40-45 minutes... More

The food wasn't terrible but pretty much what you'd expect from a typical diner...tasted good but was very Greasy. In fact if the prices were cut in half across the board I may even consider going back. However 2 sandwiches and soft drinks costed $30.00! I have no problem paying that much or more for a meal but I expect... More

Breakfast looked great, but the ham sandwich and bean soap (white and spit-pea) was sublime. Brought home a 1/2 pound of pulled pork and cried. Good as it gets. Saw a sign in the window saying that on WED the omelettes are a $1 off. I'll be back. More

Excellent breakfast specials. If you like smoked beef or pork, this is the place to go especially in one of their famous omellets of pit. Best hometown restaraunt in town. More

Being from the South I was a little skeptical about a restaurant in Northern Michigan that featured pulled pork BBQ, but while on vacation my friends insisted we go there for lunch. To my surprise their BBQ rivaled any I've ever had. Down home cooking and friendly service. More
