We stumbled upon this cute little hole-in-the-wall, greasy spoon café while traveling, and what a great find! 🍔🍟 My friend ordered the chicken tenders, which had a light coating of breading and were absolutely delicious. My husband got a hamburger with all the fixin’s and fries, and I ordered the patty melt—which was fantastic! The French fries were spot on: perfectly seasoned and nice and crispy. 😋 Everything was made fresh to order by the owner, and both owners were so friendly! They took the time to chat with us and share a little about the local area, which made the experience even better. If you love good, old-fashioned food, friendly service, and a cozy, no-frills atmosphere, this is definitely worth a stop! We would 100% eat here again! ❤️

Amazing food and wonderful service. My husband and I got some chicken tenders with mac n cheese and a chicken philly with fries. The food was very fresh and taste homemade.

Had a fried pork chop sandwich that was delicious. Only 1 woman working all aspects, so it took a bit. Seems like an awesome trucker lunch spot being its connected to a gas station and just off the interstate with a big parking area. The buffet seemed a good deal if you were eating in.

Stopped in at Hot Plate Cafe and had the fried chicken on a salad. The food was really good and the lady working there was very nice and welcoming. I’m not from the area but if I’m ever back around here, I’ll definitely know where to go for a good cheap meal.
