Country Junction Restaurant

Food is always fast to the table, fresh and like momma made it. Best desserts going. Love this place

We went on Friday when they offer an all you can eat catfish dinner. It was around 2 pm when we arrived. They weren't too busy, but the service was extremely slow. The fish was excellent. Nice crispy large filets. However I can't say much for the sides. The hush puppies were not good at all, doughy in the middle and not crispy at all. We also ordered slaw and turnip greens. The greens were ok and the slaw wasn't very good either. Too runny and dripping mayonnaise. So if fried catfish is what you are looking for you can get your fill of it. Just don't expect much to go with it.

Large portions. Good biscuits and gravy. A SERIOUS local place. We had breakfast, but the pies looked fabulous. Decor/restrooms probably haven't been updated since it was opened 30 years ago, but it was very clean.

Genuine good southern cooking. We had country fried steak. Very tasty. Mashed potatoes were real and flavorful. White gravy, yum. Plus, they had chess pie. I have never seen any place that had chess pie. So I had to have it. I was not disappointed. They make it in house, even the crust. I would for sure stop here again.

The lunch & dinner barely warrant a 3 star rating. The desserts are a 4 star. The anytime breakfast is a solid 5. The service varies but is far from stellar ; they could be better organized.
If you are familiar with Wendell Smith's off Charlotte then CJR is very similar. Great meat & threes are hard to find & I'm still looking.
