A MUST TRY!! I came here on 2/10/21 and 2/11/21 for lunch with a co worker. Other colleagues had so many wonderful things to say about this place and was eager to try it. COVID: Masks/face covering is required. Staff were wearing them. Every other booth is closed for social distancing Establishment: When you go inside, it gives off diner vibes. You can tell it’s homey. Inside there is about 4-5 booths available (due to COVID), plus countertop seating. 2/10/21 Experience: We came around 2:30pm. It was a late lunch and not very busy. The waitress for each visit was very friendly! We ordered onion rings as an app the first time. They came out so fast and they were HOT and delicious!! I ordered popcorn shrimp with double hush puppies (as I don’t eat slaw), and fries. Man, let me tell you. I wasn’t expecting so much food!! I had enough to take home. We didn’t even need the onion rings. My co worker got the catfish. I tried it and it was PERFECTLY cooked!! I mean, it was delicious!! The sweet tea that I got was great 2/11/21 Experience: We enjoyed the food SO much on 2/10, we came back again! This time, it was about 12:30pm and it was a bit busier. They had people waiting for take out, but thankfully, a booth was available for us. I got the fried chicken as it was on special for 8.95. You legit get a whole chicken (breast, thigh, leg, and wing) plus 2 sides, and a bread (cornbread, Texas toast, or roll). I got cornbread as my bread. My sides were cabbage and mashed potatoes. The food came out very quick! Maybe 5 mins and it was hot! My co worker got the chicken too, but got cabbage and Mac n cheese as a side and Texas toast. Overall: I HIGHLY recommend. You will definitely get your money’s worth! Staff was very friends and the ambiance is great. This may be our new go to spot! I can’t wait to go back and try more of their menu items! I know I want to see how their breakfast is!
What a great, cozy restaurant tucked away near the hospital!! Down-home cooking with breakfast available day! Great prices. Family atmosphere. Pretty interior, decorated with care & style. Friendly, attentive waitstaff. The Java Jeff coffee is delicious!
I got the fried chicken with brown gravy, rice with brown gravy, mac and cheese, and baked potato all this for 16 not bad. Food portion is large and so filling.
This diner experience always leaves me feeling like I just left my grandma's house with a big cup of sweet tea and a full belly. I've been comming to zoes for 5 years and I'll continue to show up when I have the chance.
I work close to Zoe’s so I will pop in for lunch sometimes!! The staff is always inviting and on point! We get excellent food and honestly I’ve never had a bad meat from here. Today I got grilled chicken (carnivore diet), Togo to bring back to eat with lunch. The chicken was juicy, tender and seasoned well!
We love this place and eat here often. The food is great and the service is even better. Trish, Melissa and Dolly take really good care of their customers. For breakfast they have the best grits I've ever had that goes with the breakfast special. For dinner they have variety of dishes that are tasty from grilled marinated chicken every day to fried chicken on Thursdays. We're so glad Zoe moved in to the the area- we needed a good restaurant in this neighborhood
The food was excellent! The portions were a bit overwhelming but I was able to finish. Our waitress came to our table plenty of times to check on us! Would like to come again for breakfast.
Serving breakfast all day long. Great tasting food with decent portions. Friendly and attentive staff. Great view of the trains passing by.
