The Scene
Fun-seeking families, bawdy bachelorette parties and kitsch-loving locals have always enjoyed this down-home scene, decked out in black-and-white tablecloths, antler chandeliers and antique ads. The urban-folksy servers sing along to Patsy Cline on the sound system, which may explain why the plates aren't cleared till the cows come home.
The Food
The Southern-inspired menu offers irresistible guilty pleasures like Frito pie--a bag of corn chips slathered with chili--and a messy fried onion loaf, as well as a respectable hangar steak, flavored with chipotle-lime butter. The Cajun fried chicken could use some crunch, but a nicely seasoned meat loaf Wellington is tasty. The ice cream "baked potato," an oblong ball of vanilla ice cream covered in hot fudge, whipped "sour" cream and pistachio "chives" is a great reminder of why you're there--and that eating out doesn't always have to be so serious.

the gravy had no taste at all, biscuits were dry and tasted like flour, vegetables were over cooked and soggy, waitress couldn't be bothered to check on us or bring a bill, chicken had about as much flavor as tofu, sausage was cooked so long it was dry, hard and blackened.

What a great place to grab some lunch. It's a place that's kind of off the beaten path with some real hearty foods that you'll definitely enjoy. The fritos chili and the corn dogs are great, as are their sandwiches and sides. Enjoy!
