Walked in about 8:30 place was half full. The ladies were busy but came and apologized for not getting right to me. After the first couple of minutes though I had my coffee which never got below half a cup and shortly after my food. OMG those biscuits were to die for. Heavenly pillows covered with gravy and perfectly cooked eggs and sausage. I am glad that I live 2 hours away or else I would be here every morning for breakfast.

Had an amazing experience here for lunch today. Came to eat here with my family and had the country fried steak special which came with three sides (which I chose mashed potatoes, corn and okra) and a drink for 12 dollars which was extremely worth it! Amazing staff immediately got to us and was very friendly as well! Even though the place was packed full, the food came out in a very reasonable time!! The quality was fantastic!! Everything was cooked just perfectly (also DEFINITELY recommended the fried okra)! We enjoyed our time there, drinks never went empty and all left very happy with the service provided. If you are considering eating here, you should definitely do it! It was packed for a reason! Thanks to you guys!

Just a great place for a good old time breakfast or lunch! The burgers a great and I love the crinkle fries or tater tots. The omelettes at breakfast are great. They had the one with 3 meats (bacon, sausage and ham). Easy parking with a large parking area and very easy to get to from I-26.

My daughter and I have been wanting to try this place for a while now, and we're glad we were finally able to! They do have limited hours, so we had to get up a little earlier to make it before work and school. However, it was definitely worth it! I feel like it was exactly what we needed to get away from the hustle and bustle of life and the corporate world. It felt like home compared to the chain fast food places (and was way better in every way). Our waitress was super friendly and made sure that we were greeted and served in a timely manner. Our food was delicious and the perfect temperature. My daughter got the pancakes, and I had the chicken biscuit. Of course, we both sampled each others food, and now my daughter plans to get the chicken biscuit next time. The chicken had the perfect crisp to it, and the biscuit was made just right. The best part? It wasn't greasy and didn't feel like a "I'm going to need a nap" meal. It was also inexpensive, so I didn't feel guilty about that part afterward either. I'm so glad we finally had the opportunity to give this place a try, and we will 100% be back!

Just what we needed going into day six of no electricity after Huricane Helene. An affordable Southern style breakfast. Thank God for livermush. Everything else was first rate. Especially the biscuits .

Mustang always puts out quality food for an excellent price with quality service. It is a cafe atmosphere where most everyone knows someone eating there. A local favorite because customers are greeted and treated like friends and family. You cam't go wrong with anything on the menu.
