Great country kitchen serving Southern favorites!
Some of Country cooking I’ve ever had lived in South my entire life. The catfish is phenomenal.
I’m new to roanoke area, I tried this spot last week a was utterly amazed at how amazing the grilled tenders were! Also buttermilk pie?!?! Never heard of it but i’m so glad the cashier told me abt it. Went back today got a double cheese burger , Loaded tots, fried chicken tenders (for me and my partner). I couldn’t be more impressed , Like actually hands down the best burger i’ve ever had. Mind you we had order abt 30 minutes before closing and got there at closing (8:03) before they closed and we still received Hot, Fresh food and spectacular customer service. EDIT: Also prices aren’t bad at all!! portions sizes are incredible! NEXT DAY EDIT: Welp we got it again tonight. And guess what, Could not have been any better! They remembered me this time lol!
The ONLY Breakfast I will eat !! Amazing food !!

We are frequent customers. We typically order take out. Our order is always ready when we come in and is ALWAYS correct! They are friendly and the food is delicious! I definitely recommend!
The food is amazing, large portions great prices, awesome variety, they even have bologna and hoop cheese for a opt. Thank you Little Bit for preparing a wonderful meal...And a shout out to Lexus for awesome customer service. Ya'll will be seeing us again real soon. I want rest until I try it all.
The chicken livers are the best. They like my mama cooked them. The chicken salad is excellent as well. I'm a very picky eater but I recommend jos to anyone and Gabrielle Thornton is the best . I just love her attitude and service. Y'all are great at Jos
First time visit. Ordered pork chop special. Very good. Fries freshly made. Butter beans were properly cooked with a great flavor. Corn bread-nice! Iced tea was fresh and good. I'll be back.
Update 2/26/24 Continuing to improve in service & food quality. I’m very happy to have given them another couple tries. I even look forward to eating here now. I am particularly a fan of their regular menu & everyday items. Old review- I cannot recommend the stroganoff and that’s all that I’ve eaten there so far. I still enjoyed my visit and will visit again to try more of the menu, as they seem to be a popular place, and many of the other food items I saw, looked much better than what I received.
Solid, southern home style cooking. The menu is really large, serving breakfast, lunch, and diner. There are daily specials. And even southern staples like fried baloney sandwiches. Service is a walk up counter, but your food is brought to you and served on an actual plate with real cutlery. The small window into the dinning area allows the cook to ask questions—which she did— of the patrons. It’s clean and a little country kitch. Very charming in its own way. The food was good— it isn’t haute cuisine, it’s diner food. My chili dog was delicious; my only complaint is that it needed slaw. I probably could have asked for a dab, but it was just as easy to snitch a forkful from one of my companions. Speaking of, she got the 2 piece chicken with fries and coleslaw. But the cook thought the pieces were a bit small, so gave her extra. The fries are crinkle cut—and my favorite next to hand cut. And with your fried baloney sandwich, do you want your bread toasted? Do you want mayo? Mustard? Both is fine, too. The space is a little small, so keep the crowd size to six or seven This is in a little rural Alabama town, not too far from Montgomery. It’s a pretty area. If you find yourself near, stop in and have a bite. I wasn’t disappointed and I don’t thin you will be either.
What a hidden gem. The food here is delicious and the pricing is fair. Have been back several times and have enjoyed everything they cook. The Philly is one of the best I've had.
A very impressive and much appreciated menu from a local kitchen. There is clearly a flood of heart served up from the "Jo & Friends" kitchen. Their food is delicious. With an amazing selection, there is something for everyone on the restaurants' hand written menus. Customers are treated to their favorites in a casual setting that says, "Welcome Neighbors!" I pulled one star from the atmosphere scale due to the display of FOX on the flat screen. FOX political content is offensive, decidedly divisive and bad for our community. Additionally, use of styrene products to package food is a harmful abuse of our local environment. Thank you for the delicious treats today! I would definitely recommend this place to all my friends.
Im not quite sure what's happened but the quality of food isn't what it used to be. Very dry and under seasoned. The potatoes were lumpy. Mac and cheese had no cheese. Over/undercooked. I hope this establishment improves soon because it was one of my favorites when I worked in the area
New to the area and there is this place and 1 other to choose from to get " Southern cooking" I got the Country fried sandwich special for 9.99. Customer service is good, but the food portions are insulting...no Mac n cheese, but literally 8k menu choices. I would have loved a piece of meat for an adult.
Me and my Fiance tried the chicken and it was not even seasoned. It tasted like it was just battered and fried. Not worth the money we spent.
I Definitely will not be eating here ever, I recently just got food Poisoning from this establishment. I ordered the Breakfast Plater Wednesday morning and was sick after I ate it all. It’s was a 0/10 for me and Zero Stars. So the ER ruled it as food poisoning. I recommend you all eat else where 💯💯💯💯❗️
I was very disappointed in my order today.I ordered two philly cheesesteak with fries and everything was salty on both plates. I called the restaurant to let them know about my order and all they could say was they were sorry. The philly cheesesteak is one of my favorite meals that I order from there all the time but after today I’ll probably never go back.
