“ We came for lunch last week for the 1st time . Our waitress, Michelle was awesome! Super friendly and attentive. We returned today with the grandchildren and had dessert oh my gosh soo good! Michelle was so great with the kids too . Then we went out back and walked around the little circle and petted the goats, lambs, pigs, cows and donkeys. Such an awesome place to bring the family! ”
“ Our family had a really good time eating at the Cookie Jar. (The group was great-grandma, grandma, and a family of 4, the children 6 and 7 years old). Great grandma thought her burger was too big and didn't like the way they chopped the onions. The next, grandma, was disappointed that they were out of the "special of the day" but loved her burger. Son and daughter-in-law had hamburger steak with a neutral response. (One had planned to order chicken tenders, and they were out.) Both kids had macaroni and cheese, small burgers, and fries. They ate well and seemed happy. The only real fuss was that they were out of many dishes and desserts as well. But hey, " if ya snooze ya lose," ...we stopped there pretty late on our way home after visiting the Chattanooga area They had obviously had a busy day, and the parking lot was still full when we arrived at around 6:45 pm . The rocking chair porch view was priceless. The petting zoo and play area made the ending of our day so special. Thank you, waitress, who patiently listened to my 6 year old grandson try to get the words together to ask if you cut your own fries... he obviously thought you did. We appreciate our experience and would definitely go there again. ”
“ This is a great little spot if you find yourself in the Sequatchie Valley. Meat loaf was great and the rest of the food tasted fresh! Great service, friendly staff and great desserts. Park out back for kids and a walking track to burn off that strawberry tart!! ”
“ Ordered the meat plate (catfish and sides) and the sweet tea chicken sandwich. Wasn’t sure what made it sweet tea? Food was Nothing spectacular but it was definitely value for money. I did, however, love the warm rolls (and cornbread) basket that was placed on each table that made a true farmhouse kitchen experience. We tried the cupcake but wasn’t too impressed by it. Came here on a Friday for lunch, and we were quoted about a 30 minutes wait. We didn’t mind waiting but for those that have zero patience, you might want to call ahead. The hostess was really sweet and waiting was a breeze because of the porch, the outdoor seating, and all the farm animals and playground. Great spot for families! ”
“ A lovely restaurant with beautiful views. The food was delicious, and the key lime cake was awesome. The drive there was such a scenic trip. Loved seeing all the red bud trees. ”
“ Food was really good, as always. Our service was outstanding! Michelle C never disappoints. We always enjoy having her as our server. She is quick and knowledgeable. Just a joy to interact with! I would give her 10 stars if it was an option. ”
“ We are from the state of Washington, here visiting family. Our family brought us to this Cafe and it was a wonderful experience! Our waitress, Bella, was very sweet and attentive to our needs at the table! The food was warm and delicious! And it was prompt! This is a gorgeous place with beautiful views! When we come again for a visit, we will definitely come again! Thanks for the experience and warm welcome!! ”
“ We arrived around 3pm central time on a Tuesday. We were quickly seated and the waitress was very friendly and attentive. Our food arrived hot and was all very good. We had the chicken tenders, chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, turnip greens and fried okra. All very tasty. The salad with fried chicken was also very good. The wings are amazing too! We bought a chocolate cream pie to eat at home. Wonderful place to view the fall leaves! ”
