Deb and Traci are great folks! Their tenderloin is the star of the show and sets a new standard on how all tenderloins should be made.

On 7/25/2026 ammon kunz had this to say:
Due to moving, it has been years since I have eaten here, but I sure miss their biscuits and gravy. You don’t know what you have until it’s gone. Every town we move to, we try to find biscuits and gravy up to this quality. These are the real deal. No one else compares.

On 6/10/2026 claire thalken had this to say:
