This place is awesome! Super skilled cooks with amazing service. The music was filling the air giving a great ambiance. I got a cheeseburger with fries and it put me back in my childhood for when my dad would make burgers on the grill at home. Thing was loaded with toppings too and they gave plenty of fries. Everyone that entered was welcomed and spoken too. A place of this atmosphere is rare and is a true gem in todays boring restaurants with NPC characters.

I moved into the Denny Terrace community back in June of 2024 and I saw this little dinner when moving in but I hadn't gotten the chance to try it until today.It was FANTASTIC! The fried chicken was so juicy and hot, the rice was seasoned perfectly and the gravy over the rice was so good. But let me tell you about the burger! The burger was by far the best the BEST I have ever had! It had the perfect outside char and for a hand formed patty, it wasn't dense and hard but soft, juicy, fresh and very easy to eat! I am so looking forward to trying the salmon patties and grits. Not expensive either! I highly recommend this place

The service was great and the food was amazing!!!! We’re in town to see my son’s college baseball game and we were lucky enough to find this place on the way to the game. They made you feel like you’re home and the portions are huge

My son and I stopped here on our way to New York on a road trip. The guys who run this hole in the wall gem are absolutely a home run. Fun crew, great southern style food, and we left happy and full. We 100% recommend stopping by for a meal or just to check it out.

These guys know how to cook! Genuine people that take pride in the food they serve. I had the cheeseburger box, it was made to perfection, from the oversized patty, to the perfectly ripe tomatoes on top, it was the best burger I've had in a long time. The fries are hand cut and served piping hot. I will eat here anytime I'm in the area.

Absolutely FANTASTIC! We were looking for a local lunch place. Happened to find Big Redd’s Diner- most delicious meal we have had since we left Texas! The food, menu, price- all reasonable. However- the atmosphere was terrific. We sat at the counter and visited the guys while they cooked. Friendly and funny do not come close to describing them! Definitely would love to come again!

Real food! The hamburger is great! We got chicken, red beans and rice, and collards! They were wonderful, not cooked and salted to death, like some other places. The chicken legs were tremendous, not tiny. You really have the benefit of knowing that this is not a chain restaurant and that this food is fresh and delicious!
