“ Such a neat little spot, hidden off the highway. My son's and I were traveling back home to TN, and decided we were hungry, but didn't want to eat at a chain restaurant. This place came up on a Google search, and im glad it did. Huge selection on the menu, everything we tried was good, our server was very friendly, and the area was perfect. Got to explore the covered bridge, and area around it after we ate. Great overall experience. ”
