Best Pork Belly Bites Ive ever eaten. Perfectly cooked. Grilled cheese with real cheddar melted and grilled perfectly with bacon. Cut in half and served with Brunswick Stew. The stew has a sweeter base like the BBQ sauce. It was delicious. But the Grill cheese was the best! My husband really enjoyed his Chicken Fajita Loaded Baked Potato. On another note.... I also didnt realize my debit card had fallen in the floor. The staff is HONEST! They messaged me on FB within minutes to let me know where it was. Thats good business in my book. Shame on me...and thankful Candy was looking out! God's people should support this small business. Let's help her need a bigger building!! Plus the food was GREAT!!

NK’s cafe is the best!! Food is always fresh and hot and the employees are always very helpful and friendly, especially Candace at the front desk. She always makes sure all the orders are right while always doing it with a smile! Highly recommend NK’s cafe for all your dining and catering needs. I use them all the time!!

My family eats here multiple times a week and we are never disappointed! The owners are always there putting their heart and soul into every plate made. Great people with great food and with their portion sizes it is well worth the money!

NK's Cafe is an absolute gem; a high quality dining experience that you just don't expect to have in such a small town. Excellent service, excellently crafted food with real flavor, and you can tell that owners truly give a damn about what they're putting out into this world. I'm about to place my third order with them this week, and I'll continue to return again and again.

AMAZING FOOD! Always fresh and delicious! We visit here very very often! Staff are so friendly as soon as you walk through the door. It feels like going to your favorite aunts house after a long day! Great food and friendly faces! We are lifetime customers!

We drove about 25 minutes, and it was well worth the drive. The moment we walked in the door, we saw the owner's sweet smile through the kitchen window. The entire staff was friendly, smiling, like they genuinely enjoy their work. The place was so cute. And the food... It was a large enough portion to share with my little girl. Meat and three type food. We all got different things and all cleaned our plates. I had strawberry lemonade to drink, and it was truly the best I've ever tasted. We shared dessert - enough for my family of four to each have some. It was a strawberry cake with some kind of icing that was ah-mazing. We left happy and will surely be back.

The fried fish was cooked to perfection. But the Baked Potato was huge and delicious came with everything with no extra charge. Thanks Heather and Crew atmosphere was great. I WILL BE BACK

Never had a single bad experience from here. I have had the Fried Green Tomatoes, fried chicken breast, catfish sandwich, and my FAVORITE side is the cabbage casserole. My son likes their cheeseburger! Every lemonade flavor I have tried is GREAT! Def give them a try! Heather and her husband Cortney are great people!
