"This is one of the best hidden gems that I've been to in a long time.. the food was amazing, hands down. If you ever in Oliver Branch stop by THE NEIGHBORHOOD GRILL for some of the best home-cooked meals around. They close at 2:00 p.m. open @ 6:00 a.m. Very friendly staff. Without the long wait, I got today's menu.. and was able to enjoy my meal all under thirty minutes. A very relaxing & laid-back environment .. 5 stars all the way.. I will be returning soon..."

"It was a decent little place. We will probably be back. The breakfast plate I chose wasn't really what I would have chosen had I known how it would be served, but it wasn't too bad. The coffee is not anything to brag about and service was a little bit slow, but the atmosphere was pretty good. The temperature as not, it was cold outside when we went and the temperature inside was cold and the restroom was like a walk in freezer."

"This is a local breakfast & lunch only place. The menu prices are decent.I did find the food to be bland. The biscuits were fluffy and the pancake was very good. The grits were hard and gritty. We shared a Hungry Man breakfast plate and it was plenty for both of us! Probably won't go back but it's worth a try if you want homemade food."

"The food was okay. The place was small but cozy. The waiters were very attentive. I didn't like the butter on my raisen toast. The waiter exchanged it for me. The breakfast potatoes were amazing. "

"When I ate at this gem of a restaurant that is family-owned and operated. The staff was incredibly friendly and provided quick service, even during busy times like transitioning to their lunch menu. The building was clean and well-maintained. One unique aspect of this restaurant is that they make certain dishes on specific days, adding variety to their menu. What I appreciated most about this restaurant was the family-friendly atmosphere. It was clear that they prioritize creating a welcoming environment for guests of all ages. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious meal served with a side of warm hospitality."
