Opened by Jack and Rose Arnold in 1982, this award-winning family-operated diner is famous for its Southern and soul food classics served from a cafeteria-style steam table and tray line. Its excellence in “meat-and-three” fare, long-simmered greens, perfectly crisp fried green tomatoes and cooked-to-order cornbread have won a legion of fans. Featured in such publications as “Maxim,” “Southern Living,” “SAVEUR” and “Bon Appetit” and on the Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives,” the restaurant achieved national acclaim when it was awarded a prestigious James Beard American Classics Award in 2009. Note: The kitchen is only open Monday through Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 2:45 p.m.
