My favorite southern restaurant by far. Fantastic Chicken Fried Steak, dessert pies, cobbler, and hands down the best Meatloaf in town. (Your momma would be jealous of this Meatloaf!) Awesome staff, too. Highly recommended.

I've been eating here with friends, coworkers and family for as many years as this restaurant has been open, which goes back a ways. This is one of those restaurants where when you haven't been there for a while the craving sort of builds up and eventually becomes almost irresistible. I've never had anything that was less than excellent. Diners should come with an appetite, because the portions are plentiful and very reasonably priced. Service can sometimes be a little slow, but the servers are always friendly and helpful.

Had a great experience at Hoovers after a UT game. Friendly staff with a great menu selection. Service was quick considering the circumstances. Group of four all said their meals were excellent. Great selection of sides. Portions are generous and prices are reasonable.
