“ Stopped in for the catfish days and tried the broasted catfish fillet dinner. Very well priced and came with soup or salad and an ice cream of choice. The meal was excellent and the staff is very professional and fast. One of my favorite places to eat my favorite thing being, that I never have to wait long for the check. That seems like a little thing to some, but that type of attentiveness is not often found elsewhere. ”

“ Being Route 66 is a cool things. What is not cool telling your waitress you want lettuce, tomato, mustard, ect on your cheeseburger and not getting it. It was offered but no follow thru. I had the BLT Club and it was fine. ”
