Service was amazing. Food was ok, salad was really great with everything a salad bar can offer. Steak had no flavor at all. Fried chicken was crispy. But dinner dishes lacked a lot of flavor actually. Dessert had good choices including a iceboxlemon pie that was perfect. Worth a try for a quick sit down but seating is tight.

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.

After driving for nearly 11 consecutive hours (mentally, cause I just flew in from Anniston Airport) I needed to eat something. They told me that American servings were ginormous so I had to see for myself. Western Sizzlin (were the so hungry they ate the g?) seemed like perfect candidate to try some tasty food. The second I entered this establishment, I knew I struck gold. Nice employees, clean counter, a cross dangling from the cash register. My momma always told me to trust someone that eats for 2, and thats what I did that evening. I had only seen food like this in movies and that screen does not do the quality and smell of the food justice. They could serve this food at master chef and they would get promoted to michelin star chef in 34 minutes (thats the exact time it would take the make a apple pie). There were some people from the local 2nd & Charles that were eating there and they had never seen a Dutch person before so they came up to me and we ate like a family would (which makes sense cause thats how we do it over here). I did have some double smoked cheddar cheese and the cashier said "this is not your normal chedda" and the whole establishment laughed. These people are witty and have a PhD in foodology. I might just buy flight tickets next time just to visit my friends from Western Sizzlin and 2nd & Charles.

The staff and food are wonderful! The place is a bit dated but it’s clean. The food really had a lot of flavor and was fresh. I can’t complain about anything. The variety was amazing and plentiful.
