“ When you walk in and they call you honey, you know it is going to be some darn good home style food. Great tasting bacon cheeseburger and fries. Huge menu, friendly people, great prices and well worth the stop. ”
“ I called in while my honey was driving up the highway and craving some southern fried okra. and even though the kitchen closed at 8, they took my order in advance and held onto my honey’s meal for well over 20 minutes after closing! And it was still hot the employee over the phone was the sweetest. Honey said that pork chop was second best, only to his grandma and his grandma throws down! And we are pork chop connoisseurs Lol. The okra was a little greasy according to him and the cabbage needed some TLC (seasoning). But it was the end of the day. I’m sure it was great fresh off the grill. The ambience got a 3/5 but it’s a restaurant in a gas station, there’s not much ambience expected. It’s a truck stop with truck parking— which we love! It’s a hole in the wall that will get our business again if we’re ever in town or passing through. Thanks Barefoot’s! ”

The hamburger steak was real hamburger & tasted like it had been grilled. The gravy was good. The fried squash & fried okra was heaven sent & to top it all off with a apple jack!!! Now, my hubby & I both came home hurting we were so full but I can’t find one negative thing to say about it. So glad we gave it a try so now we found one of our new favorite places to eat if not the best place to eat around here!! Oh & the staff was nice & polite also. I highly recommend!! ”
