The recognition highlights the restaurant's consistency in providing quality variety at a fixed price, a standard evaluated by culinary experts and cemented by nationwide reader votes. Founded in May 1965, the family-owned business recently marked its 60th anniversary, balancing its role as a major tourism attraction within the 30-acre Casey Jones Village with its identity as a local staple.
Beyond its menu of fried catfish, house-smoked meats, and traditional sides, the establishment is noted for its community impact. President Brooks Shaw credits the consistent national ranking to the dedication of his staff and a long-standing commitment to second-chance hiring, which provides stable employment for individuals in recovery. This approach to hospitality extends to Shaw’s broader involvement with the Tennessee Hospitality and Tourism Association, ensuring the venue remains as much a community anchor as a dining destination.
