Small-town cafés get no cozier than this. A tiny roadside house with a grand total of two tables and three booths, it features a television in the corner so patrons and the proprietors, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson (chef and waitress respectively) can keep up with news and entertainment. If TV is not your medium, don't fret. One of the tables is arrayed with back issues of Farm & Ranch magazine to read.

The menu is short. The daily-special blackboard lists two entrees – steak & gravy and pork roast the day we visited – along with a list of eight vegetables, cornbread or biscuit, and peach cobbler for dessert.

It was too early to have lunch, so we enjoyed breakfast of biscuits and sausage gravy as well as a pair of biscuits, one sandwiched around a sausage patty, the other enveloping a slices of delicious country ham. As we dined, a couple of old gents came in and helped themselves to coffee; and while they were at it, they called back to Lee Thompson in the kitchen and told him what they wanted to eat.
