Wow! This is some straight up Southern dining. I had a cheese biscuit that weighed about a pound. It was made with real hoop cheese, stretchy and gooey. The grits were good and they have Redeye gravy if you want it, I wanted it. Seriously, if in the area give it a try. Careful everything is really hot and fresh. Just like I like it.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Coming all the way from Baltimore, Maryland to Wilson, NC for a family reunion. Ask around to several locals to find out what the top breakfast/brunch spot was in the area and Amy Jo’s name came up several times, so you know we had to drop in. First, I’ll start by saying the hospitality was on point. Everyone was so kind and made us feel like we were regulars when we dined in. This restaurant is self seating so finding a table for our group wasn’t hard at all. Immediately upon sitting, we were greeted by our waitress who was very friendly and had a bubbly personality. The food was just OK in my opinion. The spicy sausages were very delicious and one of my favorites for the meal. The sausage gravy over what I would say was a homemade biscuit was crazy delicious 🔥. The biscuits are huge and very hefty and tasty. The fried pork chop didn’t taste seasoned and was very tough to chew (overcooked). The entire meal in my opinion was a bit above subpar, but the hospitality made up for the 5 star review.

11/3. Normally the club sandwiches are good. Today I got one to go, and I received it as a whole sandwich, not cut, with one small tomato, soggy lettuce and maybe 2 pieces of bacon. No plastic ware provided to eat the side of potato salad. This is the “quality” I would expect from McDonald’s. There’s no way this sandwich would’ve been presented to a customer like this if I had been “eating in” the restaurant instead of getting takeout.
