| - I really wish we could do half stars; I would rate my visit 2.5. I went alone for lunch, walked in and waited a couple of minutes, then sat down at the entrance. Finally a girl came out and asked if I needed something. I wanted to say yeah, a table, but instead asked if I should seat myself. She said yes and handed me a menu. I guess the regulars know this, but a sign would have been nice.
I ordered the country style steak with fried squash and stewed okra and tomatoes. The steak was ok, but the gravy tasted canned. The squash reminded me of squash I used to get from a Bi-Lo deli when I worked nearby. It was heavily breaded and I prefer fried squash thin and lightly breaded, but it was the best part of the meal (besides the roll) so I finished it. The okra was a big disappointment. I expected it to be more tomatoey and stewey I guess, rather than a bowl of okra with a chunk or two of tomato. It was extremely under seasoned, if seasoned at all. At least the okra wasn't slimy. The roll was amazing and the cornbread was good enough to eat.
I tried to signal I was done by putting my napkin in my plate and playing on my phone, but my waitress walked right by me and sat down talking to some regulars. I wasn't annoyed by this until it lasted more than 5 minutes.
Even though I ate enough to not be hungry, I had to fight the urge to stop and get something else on the way home.
