Decided to try after reading reviews. Parking lot full parked in Comfort Inn lot next door. Monday night in February. Seated immediately. Nice cider and IPA. My wife had the sirloin steak salad and I a grouper substitute broiled with a salad and onion rings. Everything well prepared. Good service.

This is owned by Arrington Enterprises if that tells you anything.
The service is HORRIBLE here, it's NASTY inside, and did I mention the service is HORRIBLE? I've never encountered more rude people to take my money and punch a few keys on a register. This place is the pits.
3. Daily Grind Coffeehouse

Reviewed By sanderlyn - Callaway, Virginia
This is a small coffee shop like restaurant with limited seating and "walk up to the counter" ordering. Two of us ordered the spinach salad. The salads were very disappointing. The advertised ingredients were included, but in such small amounts that this dish was little more than a couple handfuls of spinach. We were shocked at the quality of the meals. Two small salads and two ice teas cost more than $20. Very, very disappointing and certainly not worth the price.

My husband and I enjoy eating at establishments that are not chain restaurants. This restaurant had great food and service. Our waitress, Lou, was attentive without being intrusive. Try the sausage gravy....it was delicious
5. The Whole Bean Coffeehouse

I stopped in for coffee and to spend some time on the net. The coffee and the service was great. Since I prefer a dark roast, the owner might consider buying a small coffee maker, 2-5 cups, and a small coffee grinder so that the house can fill special orders such as a dark roast, when the main line of the day is a medium roast. I wouldn't mind waiting for a fresh ground mug of coffee. I will return for another cup. I highly recommend this coffee house.

After finally finding the restaurant ( our GPS totally screwed up), we were pleasantly surprised. Busy place with locals, which is what we look for. We both had the chicken salad platter special and it was great. Had chicken salad along with fruit,cantaloupe, watermelon, strawberry, grapes. It was a unique combination but it was very good.
Would highly recommend.

I am soooo glad we decided to try Buddy's tonight!! This was, without a doubt, the BEST brisket and ribs I have EVER eaten!! The brisket was moist and flavorful. The ribs literally fell off the bones and were simply delicious. The Slaw, hush puppies,...MoreWe are so happy to hear you enjoyed your visits with us.

We visited in late afternoon, so the restaurant wasn't crowded. We were seated quickly and our waiter brought out the chips & salsa pretty much as soon as we sat down. Our food (shrimp quesadillas) was delivered quickly. The shrimp was cooked perfectly & there was plenty of it. Our waiter kept our glasses full and checked soon after delivering our food to see if everything was ok.
