Fresh food and massive portions. They will add/substitute filet mignon to any entree. We like the country fried filet and gravy or the Kathy Bates burger. Fantastic mimosa menu as well.

Sightseeing

Gear up for a peaceful walk. Once you reach your destination, sit, relax, ponder life, read through other's journal entries and write your own. This peaceful symbol of hope has been around for over thirty years. It was established by Frank Nesmith, a local legend, who sadly passed away in July 2020. Go! Make a memory!
