We stumbled on this place and it is a locals dinner. Food was so good and the weight staff was very friendly. Food was straight out of grandma's kitchen. So good! Prices were cheap for what you received. 5 stars could not cover this place. Classic hole in the wall that you will talk about for years to come.

When you enter the building, you're immediately greeted and told to go ahead.And have a seat anywhere you'd like, and then they get you, whatever drink you wish to have give you a breakup time to study the menu, then the food comes out pretty quick.Well cooked tasty.So I would recommend you to go there. As a previous manager of restaurants included exotic restaurants.My opinions are very important to all of you.I'm sure I wouldn't mislead no one, so I wish you would try her breakfast and or lunch.I think you'd be satisfied.

Possibly the best catfish I've ever had! 1st time eating here, but wont be my last. Put a group order in for 8 to pick up. They had all boxes labeled with names and everything was right. That was a great way to start my experience with them, but when I actually tried the catfish!! amazing. Great job Tammys

Went for lunch, I had the ham steak breakfast and the wife had the chicken fried steak. Both entrees were delicious, the coleslaw and potato salad were the bomb! The 3 stars for service is because they are short people to work, and it took 45 mins to get our food. I definitely recommend Tammy's! The food is outstanding!

We stopped at Tammy's on our way back home from Frankfort, we are glad that we did. We got there about 3 PM and easily found parking. After we were seated our server was Tammy herself. We had several questions about the food, and she patiently answered everyone. The food was excellent, and the service was prompt. I had a hamburger, chips, and banana pudding. My wife had the catfish ("the best she has ever eaten"), potato salad, cornbread, and green beans. My wife's grandmother was from Tennessee, and the food was just as good, if not better, than Grandma's. While we were eating, we had a chance to visit Tammy's husband for quite a while, he was just as nice and friendly as Tammy was. We will be back on our next trip to Frankfort; we may even just make a special trip just to eat there again.

Great little roadside diner. You seat yourself and very shortly was greeted by my server. I had country-fried steak, green beans, macaroni and cheese, and cornbread. Very good food for a low price. This will be a weekly stop for now on. Do yourself a favor and stop at Tammy's Diner you won't be disappointed.
