“ So here we go again folks me and my wife heard about Ma & Paw”s family restaurant it’s located at 6853 Asheville Highway, Greenville, TN. This is a spot that’s been there for quite a while. We were told it all the locals go there. We could tell they have home cooked food and I had the hamburger steak smothered with brown gravy, mushrooms, onions and before I go any further, just remember they do charge .50 per item that you add onto the hamburger steak. I got three sides a bowl of pinto beans a monkey dish restaurant type filled with collard greens which were very good pintos were bland, but a little salt and pepper and a dash a hot sauce and some fresh onions. Does the trick every time, I had coleslaw and they do make homemade cornbread muffins in my wife had a vegetable plate with four vegetables and she also had a cornbread muffin she had bowl of pinto. Beans, She had a scoop of real mashed potatoes with chunk of potato and white country gravy, a monkey bowl of beets and a basket of fried okra. Everything tasted really good. We enjoyed ourselves and they give you a lot. Trust me they give you a lot. You get your moneys worth there and it is good home cook food and like I said, the locals go there that’s why we went, I think y’all would enjoy the place and only if you leave the parking lot and go to the left I believe it’s like maybe 1015 miles down the road and you’re in Hot Springs North Carolina. Nice I would definitely recommend this place y’all enjoy and I’ll put up some pictures too. and I just like to add that they do keep the place fairly clean. It looked really good. The day we went we enjoyed ourselves and we will be back. So folks Google has asked me to give you some clues as what to order on the menu now mind you all this was our first time there so what we showed on Google was what we ordered for the first time the locals we talked to said the catfish is wonderful. The pork chops is wonderful, and a lot of people are just saying everything is good because it’s homemade The best I can tell you is give it a shot. I don’t think you will be disappointed like I said we will be back. ”
“ We are in town visiting family and came here a bit before noon, hoping for breakfast. Unfortunately they stop serving breakfast at 11 am, but we decided to say for lunch anyways. We were so glad we did. Everything was perfectly cooked! The mushrooms were breaded and crispy, as were the tater tots, fried zucchini and fried okra. The mushroom Swiss burger was topped with brown gravy that both my husband and son raved about. I got the chicken fried steak and it flavorful and perfectly cooked. We will definitely come back for breakfast later in our stay if we can. I highly recommend! ”
“ Got breakfast here three days in a row while working at a temporary job nearby. The first time I had biscuits and gravy, and when I told the waitress I was in a hurry, she had my plate out in like two minutes. I came back the next day and the day after to pick up a chicken and cheese biscuit. Every meal I had here was delicious. The biscuits are fluffy and buttery and the meals are incredibly cheap. Well done! ”
“ My family and I love Ma & Pa’s! It has an open almost cafeteria type feel yet the volume stays fairly low. The food is in line with a diner style experience and the shared waitstaff ensures excellent service. The prices are very affordable and the food selection is extensive. Parking can be tight at times as it can get pretty busy. ”
“ Ate there 1st time this morning, absolutely awesome food and wait staff!!! Will be back ”
