Had breakfast here once, year ago probably and it was very good. In the area today and it was lunchtime, so... Had one of their daily specials for lunch. It was Salisbury Steak. Looked and tasted homemade, which is good! It came with a creole sauce that didn't really resemble any creole sauce I've ever had, but it tasted good and went well with the Salisbury Steak. It came with 2 sides and a corn muffin. The corn muffin was tasty. Crispy in the outside and soft on the inside. Excellent. Sides were mashed potatoes, which were very good, and stewed cabbage. Now listen up, the cabbage had spices in there and, WOW, it was great. Stewed cabbage! Who'd have guessed it could be so good! Sat at the bar and service was great despite the waitress busting her tail with other duties during the lunch rush. I'll definitely go back when I'm on that side of town. All in just over 7 bucks, plus a good tip, for a great plate full of food from great folks. Thank you for your awesome review. We truly appreciate your business as well as your kind feedback. We strive to make everyoneâs experience a pleasant one. Hope to see you back real soon. Thank you again. GO VOLS

Lived here 14 years and tried this for the first time on the way to Saturday Farmers Market. Delicious! Great menu options with everything from biscuits and gravy to pancakes and tons of different omelettes. Our service was efficient and friendly and our food was wonderful! The restaurant was clean and comfortable and in a great location. So glad we tried Pete's and will definitely be back!

One of my favorite lunch places. They have a wonderful menu but I always get the vegetable soup with corn bread muffins. Oh my goodness, it is the best I have ever had. Perfect combination with some sweet tea. Great service. Can't wait to go back soon!
