Old fashioned dining with nostalgic atmosphere. Ordered Giant Cheeseburger Combo. Handmade patty with your choice of condiments with fries and drink. You can dine inside, outside or drive-thru. Also ordered a strawberry shake made with real strawberries which was great. This an old building with rustic furniture so don't be fooled that the food won't be good because it is.

Needs some loving. I was told their hand patted hamburgers were awesome, they hardly had salt or pepper on them.

Good old fashioned diner food. Good service. Like going back in time. Too bad prices aren’t from the past.

First I’d like to say, the older lady that was working was very nice and helpful.

The place is definitely a local landmark, it’s been there forever and was of course in the sling blade movie. So I get the significance of it and I hate to rag on it but I am just honest when it comes to food ????????.

It wasn’t great. Maybe in its glory years, but to me it just seems to be satisfied being mediocre. I get people love it, but I’m not from the area and I just judge on what I am given.

Starting with negatives…the burger and fries were just not great. The burger was expensive for what it is and rather small for a “large”.

The burger itself tasted ok, if you’ve had a burger at any run of the mill diner, it tasted the same to me. The patty seems like it was premade.

The fries were just fried frozen crinkle fries, once again just ok and generic.

Onion rings fared no better unfortunately, the oil needed to be changed. It was obviously old oil and the onion rings once again were frozen. Just ok, would be way better with fresh oil.

My main pro was that the fried pie was pretty good and was the best part of the meal.

All in all, service was friendly, it’s a unique location. Food was lacking. I’m glad I went but I probably won’t come back.

Very short staffed. The wait time was absolutely insane. It was WAY too hot to sit outside so we ended up standing awkwardly in the tiny establishment for over 30 minutes waiting for someone to finish eating so we could sit down. The food is always amazing. Just wish it wouldnt take so long at times. But all in all, its understandable.

It was so good and service was fast going back soon and shop for goodies they have chow chow, and apple butter among other items! My son had this sandwich and seasoned fries he definitely approved and this Bourbon Pecan Pie Omg I loved it. I would love to have a whole pie for the holidays but not sure if they sale them but going to find out

Our first time to this diner wasn’t a decision we regretted. The atmosphere takes you back in time with 50s diner music and decor! Bonus: the food will not disappoint. Grab a shake while you’re there—the chocolate covered cherry shake is absolutely wonderful!

I'm from East Tennessee. It was great to see the restaurant that some scenes from Sling Blade were shot. There was four of us eating there and everything we had was delicious.
