Every meal includes the restaurant's famous apple fritters and apple julep - signature items that have become destinations in themselves for many visitors. The generous portions come complete with soup, two sides, and dessert alongside most entrees.
The farmhouse atmosphere strikes an authentic, cozy note that feels genuinely welcoming rather than manufactured for tourists. Families particularly appreciate the warm hospitality, where staff members treat guests with genuine Southern charm.
