Kendall's lived up to all the hype! Mom and I each had the chicken fried steak, and we didn't leave before we got an abundance of cinnamon rolls to share with friends and family. Like some chicken fried steaks, this one was not over breaded at all. It was just right. And that sweet tea is perfect! When you visit, make sure to check out the history hanging on the walls.

This restaurant is in my top two best meals of my entire life! I literally can't stop thinking about it. The chicken fried steak was INCREDIBLE. The texture and flavor was perfection. The mashed potatoes were by far the best mashed potatoes I've ever had in a restaurant! The gravy was absolutely delicious, and the fried okra was also among the best I've ever had. It was crispy, and the okra had the best flavor itself. They were not at all slimy, soggy, or greasy, but fried perfectly. I actually saved an okra for my last bite of the meal! The Hamburger was....wow! I don't know how any fast food burger joint stays in business in this state. The quality of meat here is just beyond anything I have ever had. The flavor and texture was superb. The only thing that I had here that didn't blow my mind were the fries. Just get the fried okra instead and thank me later. Lastly, the cinnamon rolls completely lived up to the hype. They brought them out last, and they were warm and gooey and came included with the meal. I will literally travel back to Oklahoma again just to eat here. You have to go! For real!

Delicious food!! Our waiter was super attentive, fast, and hilarious! Very impressed all around. Fried green tomatoes for appetizer were my favorite. I ordered the pond and pasture and everything was wonderful!

Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday. We were promptly seated by friendly staff. Sonia the waitress was great. We enjoyed the fried green tomatoes (best I've ever eaten). For lunch we had the light portion of chicken fried steak (with mashed potatoes and okra) and a light portion of the buffalo chicken salad. The cinnamon rolls ended the meal nicely. We purchased a pair of rolls for family to taste, and the our waitress gave us two more rolls in honor of our special occasion. We'll be back!

The restaurant is older but kept clean. We got the salad with ranch, chicken fried steak with tater tots and sour cream & chive wedges, and cinnamon rolls. The homemade ranch on the salad was amazing. The chicken fried steak was flavorful and fresh. The sour cream and chive wedges were delicious and pairs well with the home made ranch. Everything was great and the service was as well. Or server was friendly and attentive. She packed up the cinnamon rolls for us. They were very good as well.

I went with a group after a long run and we were starving. We were greeted by a very nice host who sat us. The waitress was kind and helped walk us through the menu. I had to try the Chicken Fried Steak and it was amazing. Then, they brought us the cinnamon rolls for desert, which were very good! Huge fan! We will definitely be back!

Faith is a terrible mopey server. Drinks came after our food then were handed out wrong so had to wait forever for new ones. Didn’t get specific items ordered until we were done eating. Loved the food, service was just terrible. Other tables with other servers seemed fine. Cinnamon roll was amazing.
