"Stopped by while hiking in Big South Fork. The chicken and dumplings made me tear up, they were straight out of my grandma's kitchen looking. I had the beans, kraut and sweet tea, all fantastic. Service was super gracious, quick and the whole place as just perfect. Got a cake for later, bakery is open on Saturday 9-5"

"What an amazing little hidden gem! This charming country barn has been beautifully converted into a cozy restaurant, bakery, and shop, and it’s absolutely worth the visit. The restaurant serves classic Southern comfort food that tastes homemade in the best possible way—fresh, flavorful, and full of heart. The staff couldn’t have been more welcoming—they treat you like family from the moment you walk in. It truly feels like you’re dining in someone’s home rather than a business. The bakery was the perfect finishing touch, filled with all sorts of fresh-baked goodies that are impossible to resist. Such a warm, inviting place with incredible food and genuine Southern hospitality. A wonderful find that I’ll definitely be coming back to!"
