Customer Reviews

“ Food was excellent! Friendly staff; fairly quick service. It's a really nice, homey feeling place to enjoy good food, and fellowship. The only bad thing I would say is there is a little confusion on the menu concerning the salad bar. The menu says that ordering a Entre (steak dinner etc..) comes with 1 trip to the salad bar. But then the waitress told us that we had to use 1 of our sides as a salad bar. That's not how it says on the menu. BUT, all is good, we didn't complain, it's not worth all the fuss. All in all, we had a great QST time experience!!! ”

“ I really love home-town places. I have gotten here within 30 minutes of closing time the two times I've gone, so I think there's probably room in here for 5 stars. Will update when that happens! ”

“ I got some good food. I haven’t tried their new menu yet but tonight is the night at eight and we’ll find out. ”

Michael Argo

“ Always great service and great food from good folks! Great little Northeast Mississippi gem, large menu! The half hour drive is always worth the trip, with complimentary Hush Puppies! Tonight we had Onion Pedals, Blackened Chicken Alfredo, and the Surf & Turf (9oz Sirloin, Blackened Shrip) on a bed of rice, and Hush Puppies. ”
