    Friendly service. Food was great! Our party tried the fried pork chops, hamburger, hamburger steak, chili, vegetable beef soup, fries and hushpuppies. EVERYTHING was hot and tasty! Not far off I-22..well worth the SLIGHT detour!

    Stopped here randomly off I 22.  They have a fantastic country Sunday buffet-fried pork chops , dressing, cranberry sauce, corn bread, etc.  The make Cole slaw the way God intended-not creamy at all!  They have a huge selection of homemade cakes!  Also, five stars doesn't do the hospitality and service justice-a true diamond in Carbon Hill!

    We were greeted by a dozen old men staring us down as we walked in the door lol. Definitely a place for ol timers. I would say this is typical diner food. It was good. Fast food and fast service.

    We were driving through Alabama and took a chance on Mava's. Cannot say enough about the people and the food.
    Mava herself came over and introduced herself and we felt immediately at home. All of the staff were super friendly and helpful. I had a great burger with steak fries. My husband had whole fried catfish. Perfect light cornmeal batter. The hush puppies were stellar. I hate any sweet cornbread or hush puppies. These were simple and delicious. No yucky sweet taste.
    We were full by then and hesitated about dessert. But Mava makes the pies, so what the heck. There was coconut pie and we both have a weakness for that particular one.
    So glad we got a piece to share. It was just barely warm with a stellar crust and perfect balance of coconut and custard. Mava says it is the same as her buttermilk pie with just coconut added.  I am a pie snob and this is the BEST I have ever had. If I knew I were to die tomorrow I would drive back for another piece.  Fortunately we got two pieces more to go.
    I will have to up my game to be able to make a pie as good as Mava's.
    Drive out of your way to eat here!  Trust me on this. And don't pass up the pie.
