The staff moves with a practiced ease, patiently juggling the drive-thru and the counter, but never losing the friendly eye contact that anchors the atmosphere in something warmly human.

The bread served with the meals, simple and unpretentious, subtly underlines the thoughtful touches throughout the experience.

Tried this place for the first time and was impressed with the home made taste of the food. Chicken was fantastic and definitely the highlight of the meal. I loved the bread it came with as well Chicken 10/10 Next time I want some good checked and I am in imlay, I’ll be coming back Mac and cheese 10/10 Great cheesiness, not overcooked, good overall flavor Mashed potatoes and gravy 4/10 May be good for some but not me. Pretty bland and a flavor that I just couldn’t put my finger on… there were chucks so you know it’s real mashed but there was something processed about it. Bread 10/10 Soft warm and had a great flavor as well. If they sold those individually, I’d probably buy them for Xmas or thanksgiving dinner. Value: 6.5/10 11 bucks for a 2 pc meal is a bit strap for what I got. That is just my 2 cents. I’ll be back to try more of their wares for sure

Been going my whole life. Everything is delicious. The newer "corn nuggets" are fabulous. Even tho it's a "fried chicken" place. We always get the fish family meal.

We ate inside. We ordered the 8 piece tender dinner and it was more than enough food for less than $30. It was all delicious food. We have tried the fish and the chicken on the bone in the past too. You can't go wrong with anything you order. The staff here are friendly and helpful also. They stayed busy with the drive thru and the counter inside and they were able to help everyone in a very timely manner. We will visit again of course and you should too! I like that they have a drive thru and also tables to eat inside as well as picnic tables outside.

Extremely good food! Wished we received more tartar sauce than what is provided. But I suppose I am willing to give extra $$ in order to have the additional tartar… it goes so well with fries and fish! And everything has been delicious each time we have ordered takeout!!! Appreciate the quality and the love that is put into making the meal!!

The staff are friendly, and the food is excellent. Country family atmosphere. I’m a slim build trucker, and normally buy groceries and eat in my truck, but I know good food and folks when I find them. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the area again. Highly recommend this place! Plus there’s a Goodwill store across the street!

It was busy, but everything moved very quickly. The food was delicious and had the good home cooked feel. The prices are very reasonable, I was amazed to get 3 meals for under $35... Going to a fast food chain you will be paying $40 plus... I will definitely be back with my family.

My first time at this little place... And well it was a small slice of heaven. I was so very skeptical but the mouth watering food got the spot on a long days travel. I was not disappointed in any way. One day I will be back again ...

I found myself in Almont Michigan at 7:30 on a Sunday night of course I was curious how far I was away from Maryland chicken GPS told me 13 minutes away. So I called the dynamic duo that was working on Sunday night August 25th to make sure they were still open till 8:00 p.m. and I pointed the car North and was able to get a wonderful two-piece dinner with two sides for under 11 bucks. Nice crunch Generous pieces Coleslaw and french fries are very very good
