Delicious food and incredible southern hospitality. Feels like you’re at grandmas for supper. If we are in the area or passing thru again we would 100% come back.

It's been a little bit now since I stopped in. I should have wrote this a while back, but didn't get around to it. So I just was scanning the map and it reminded me that I had stopped in for dinner. I was passing through on a motorcycle trip with a friend. We spent the night just up the road. We came across this little gem of a restaurant.I tend to prefer non chain restaurants when possible. And C & E's did not disappoint. We wound up having a great dinner. The folks who we met that night were warm and welcoming. And I will say without a doubt. I had the best fried chicken, I ever had in my life that night. It's been a while and I hope they still have it on the menu. I would like to stop in again soon. And maybe sooner than you think. So if the fried chicken is still on the menu, I know what I'll be having. Thank you to these folks for a really nice dinner.

FOOD FOR THE SOUL... I am so glad that my husband was hungry (he looks starved, he's a "twiggy")...he wanted a home cooked meal instead of McD's...I thank the good Lord for the paths he puts us on and it led us to C & E's Restaurant... these Ladies are Beautiful people (even Lil' Miss Smiles)...Inside and Out.I so enjoyed the wonderful food, the comforting atmosphere and conversation with you Ladies!!! My favorite...the beets. My husband's was the squash medley. We both enjoyed everything from your "Main Buffet"...fried chicken, baked chicken, spaghetti, chicken livers, cooked cabbage, green beans, mashed potatoes, squash medley, pinto beans and cornbread...I can't even remember everything you had... your "Salad Buffet" was very good and I even tried something I hadn't had since I was a kid..."Souse" very good. Thank You Mrs. C & Mr. E for sharing something wonderful from your heart with the rest of us... Blessings to you and your family... we shall return...from MaMa T.

The fried fish and stewed tomatoes make it worth the trip! VERY affordable with a welcoming, humble staff. We will definitely be back!

A true blue diamond in the rough. C&E has some of the best food we’ve had since we moved to the area. Fish and pork chops fried to order, real mashed potatoes and fried okra. Wonderfully, friendly staff. We’ll be back again and again and again.
