Sad News! This wonderful little eatery closed in early 2009.

 

Annie McHone has been running the restaurant for almost 20 years, preparing a buffet table of country vegetables and meats. The restaurant is only open on weekends, but all of the customers sing the praises of McHone and the food she prepares. “It’s all good,” her customers tell me when I press them to reveal their favorites. McHone herself tells me that she thinks her banana pudding is about as good as anything she makes. But another diner interrupts us and says, “Oh no, that peach cobbler you make is the best around here.” In addition to the buffet, McHone has a small but varied menu of seafood, vegetables, steak, barbecued chicken, and other specialties.
