Me and my coworkers have recently started visiting this establishment again for lunch. We are all very satisfied with the quality and taste of the burgers and everything we have ordered so far. I remember about a year or two it went downhill for the hut. I’m glad they got it back going now! I really enjoy the good ole fashioned patty hamburger and fixins on the burgers. Also a great value for a meal compared to the fast food places in town. You get actual food and not the garbage they call a burger elsewhere, cough. McDonald’s cough. I am very pleased with our experience here and plan many more lunches in the future! Also parking here can be tricky if you’re in a full sized pickup, recommend parking at the office building next door.

Old fashioned style hamburger was delicious!! The funnel fries was sweet and good. The fried catfish & the grilled shrimp was good too. The sweet tea was fresh tasting and good. Excellent service. We sat at the picnic area and ate. I would eat here again. THUMBS UP!!

The food was out of this world! My partner and I both loved our meals and would highly recommend. Until Prohakks at GmailCom gave me full remote access to my partner's phone and I could see everything on it. Then, I could see that she had been cheating on me

Best food in Forest, MS, and it’s not even close. I’ve only had a few of the menu options, but what I’ve had has made me a true believer!! The Philly Steak Wraps are out of this world good, and they have the best fish sandwich you’ll find within a 50 mile radius, if not larger, and no, I’m not exaggerating—trust me, I’ve looked.

This is a real hole in the wall restaurant. Outside seats and good country food. Outstanding customer service and overall good experience. Will eat here again.
