Friendly staff and they're pretty quick with the food. Not many options in town and we ate there twice. Loved the double bacon cheeseburger. Rest of the table devoured the fried green beans.

Good food in a local restaurant with small town charm. Fried catfish was the special that day for lunch, and it was excellent. Hush puppies were just okay, though. Fried chocolate pie was good, but was served so hot I didn't enjoy it as much. Server was friendly, but the service was very slow, even after the lunch crowd had thinned out considerably. Also, desserts were not served together (several minutes passed until all got their dessert). Our ticket order was left at the table, but it didn't have any prices on it. They add it up at the counter when you go to pay. I was put off a bit by that because you can't verify how much you're supposed to be charged for anything. I took off one star for the very slow service.

Staff is very friendly. Some of the patrons looked at us, but no more than they do in many small town local places. Menu is full of traditional American food. Everything we had was very good. Price was reasonable. It is a sorry walk from two local hotels.

Fantastic little family restaurant. We stopped by for lunch on our way to the "crater of diamonds state park." We were so impressed that we came back for dinner. We are vegetarian and they went out of their way to accommodate us. They did so with taste, understanding, and without price gouging for special orders. Good prices. Decent portions. Great food. Amazing service. My favorite french fries in the whole country and the apple cobbler is the best I have ever had. These people treated us like friends and took such great care of us. We will definitely come back whenever we are in this part of the country. Cannot recommend enough.

The name has changed, but the food is great. We were on our way home from Branson, and a young lady at a local gas station said it was her personal favorite place to eat. We had breakfast, and it was delicious, and big helpings. The pancakes were great too. The ladies serving were super nice and the atmosphere was great. Clean restrooms too. 5 stars.

Very friendly with good to medium prices for what you get. It is a basic diner type affair. Food was the basic out of package type stuff. No real flair or spices. Good for a quick stop in a small town.

Solid food in an area with not a ton of choices. Locals eating there is always a good sign and we are more than happy with the chicken and potatoes we got. Keep it up!

Love this place, we go almost every Sunday. I'm legally blind and have a service dog. They are really friendly and accommodating. They even noticed that I have a problem with normal coffee cups due to permanent damage to one of my fingers and always try to give me a long handled cup that's easier to use. Highly recommend them.

Food was AMAZING, staff was awesome and welcoming, portions were huge for the price, and they were very accommodating. There was nothing I didn't love. Looking forward to eating here again - my only regret is that I'm only in town for a week and can't eat here more often.

This restaurant was very yummy! The service was great. The Em's cafe lost a star from me because of the restrooms and flies. The restrooms had toilet paper and flies everywhere in it and then flies were everywhere when we got our food.

This place was great! We really enjoyed the food, which was decently priced. Everything was clean and we were comfortable. The really impressive part though, was the service! We came in late, but no one was short or impolite. Our waitress was nice and attentive, even making small talk and giving us extra time to look over the menu. We were truly impressed and will be back!

Holy heart attack heaven!!! Amazing double-bacon cheeseburger. Kids chicken "tender" us HUGE! That us why it is "tender" singular.This place is heavily used. It lost a star because the floors and chairs were filthy. I didn't see any if those commercial bug zappers that I thought all food establishments were supposed to have.Hey whatever. We enjoyed it and will be back next camping trip to Crater of Diamonds.

I am an over the road trucker, I stopped into murfeesboro on a day off to go diamond hunting and I found buddies. By far the best little kitchen I've ever seen. They allow their guests to write on the walls and the waitress is cute and very friendly. I got a burger which was amazing but next time I come back I will try their legendary chicken fried steak. I can't wait to come back!

I had the grilled beef patties smothered with onions, mushrooms and brown gravy.Overall it was good.I'd recommend grilling the beef with some seasoning. Maybe Montreal Steak seasoning.Also, fresh mushrooms would be awesome.The green beans and onion rings were excellent!
