Good home cooked food in good portions for fair prices. Nothing amazing but everything was
solid. Meat and vegetable sides were nicely seasoned. You are basically eating in the front of an old house which is inviting. They also have an enclosed porch for seating. CASH ONLY. No ATM on-site. Kid friendly. Closes after lunch.

Quaint and cute! We stopped at the Bruce Cafe for breakfast as we were leaving Panama City Beach before a long road trip. Super cheap prices! Had eggs, bacon, toast, and home fries. Absolutely delicious! The lady who served us was kind and helpful.

The best little place for an inexpensive but excellent breakfast. Cash only, but that is the way i roll anyway. We go often for breakfast and for 2 we have never exceeded $20.

Just plain country cooking - nothing gourmet! Delicious, home cooked, terrific value! Staff works very hard and are so incredibly nice. More like a small family there than workers.

From the moment you step in and are greeted by Michelle, you’re transported back to the days of really good home cooking. We had the lunch special last time we were here and this time we just stopped by for a piece of homemade lemon cake. The food is always the food terrific but the service is great and the prices are very reasonable. They always have a fresh pot of coffee on! Truckers and RVers can park across the street! You got to try this place…

Small town wonder. Great portions great home cooked meals. Friendly place for new and 'home' for locals. So fresh and delicious. If you are in the area it's worth the effect to find and dine.

Small local restaurant, home style food. Always like to stop by when I am in the area. Patrons are easy to talk with and staff is always eager to please. I am a vegetarian and they do what they can to make my stay enjoyable.

I have NEVER posted anything like this in my many, many reviews. However, in my day when I was involved with Health Inspections, this restaurant would have had a "Closed by order of the Health Department" sticker on the front door.
We were passing through going home from the beach and love to eat at local restaurants. The reviews were "ok" so we thought we would try it. We noticed that the restrooms were behind the building and were glad we stopped at the rest area a short distance away.
The 'meat and three' menu looked good so we tried it. The soup was canned tomato chunks with canned vegetables heated together. No seasoning! The chicken and dressing was awful. Chicken (including the skin) boiled in water with no seasoning put on top of the soupiest cornmeal dressing I've ever seen. The ham was good. The salad was right out of a bag and the vegetables right out of a can without any seasoning added.
HOWEVER, when we went out back to the little rustic restrooms we almost lost it all! In back of the restaurant was a small dump of empty food boxes in an area about the size of the back porch. It was a perfect rodent's nest. Behind it was a crumbling outbuilding.
The back porch was screened in with a concrete floor. On it were about two extremely rusty chest type freezers, one with a hinge that looked rusted out. The screening had cloudy plastic wrap stapled over about 3/4 of the screening. The wrap was missing on the screened in back door and about half of the back. This allowed the dust from the bare ground and smells from their trash pile to flow freely through the screen and onto the back porch. To our utter shock, there was a full size ham sitting in an old dinged up tin bowl on top of the rusty freezer with dust all over it. (Remember the ham special for the day?). It was still there 15-20 minutes later when I left the men's room.
This is a very old building and we're guessing that the two rustic restrooms were added as an afterthought years ago to replace a "path". Incidentally, the men's room did not have any paper towels and no hot water.
Never again!!!

Best meal I've had in a long time, and the price was so great also. We had ham and pepper steak, w/ sides of a tossed green salad, creamed corn, white beans, and collard greens. The meal also included veggie soup and a wonderful home made coconut frosted cake. Service was very friendly as well. We will definitely be going back.

I love this place! You will not find a better value anywhere in Northwest Florida. This place is a hidden gem, which is well known to locals and worth finding for those traveling through the area.

Home cooking. Great service. Locals place. They have specials sort of like a Meat & 3. The special usually comes with a small cup of soup plus dessert.
