    This fried chicken was better than Loveless Cafe, in my opinion. Pefectly juicy, flavorful, and cripsy! The house made sodas were also excellent (try the balckberry lime or the blueberry lemon)! Our service was slow, especially for the sodas.

    We made a reservation for Sunday at noon, but church went a little long, and I was concerned that Elliston's Place might not honor our reservation. No worries. There was open seating when we got there, and we took a booth near the front door. I've eaten at Elliston's Place on a weekday when it was much more crowded than it was Sunday. The waitress told me that if I ordered hot tea, she would not charge me extra for a second cup. I got burned on a recent visit to a restaurant in Conway, Arkansas, a few weeks ago., when I was charged $7.00 for two cups of tea for myself. It can't cost the restaurant an extra $3.50 for a second teabag and hot water. We weren't sure about the parking situation. The signs in the parking lot said something about scanning a QR code on the menu, but I never saw the QR code on the menu, and the waitress said we're not going to tow anyone. I thought the country ham was just marvelous, along with the red eye gravy. The side dish of turnip greens was just what I wanted, and they had pepper sauce on the table, so I didn't have to ask for it. However, my wife ordered the fried chicken, and they were out and wouldn't have any more for 15 minutes. We were pressed for time to make our late checkout at 1:30 p.m., so she ordered the turkey and dressing instead. My wife only eats white meat, and some of the turkey in the bowl was dark meat. There may have been a bone in the turkey meat. My wife gave me the cranberry sauce, which was fine. I thought the dressing was typical Southern cornbread dressing with lots of sage.

    Classic soda shop with a juke box playing in the background. Very fun atmosphere. Food was delicious and well priced. Waitress forgot to place one order but recompensed with a free piece of pie.

    Dayna was awesome! We came in for breakfast with our family and everything was excellent. She answered all our questions, made great recommendations and started our day off right. We’ll definitely be back. Save room for dessert!
