This is my father favorite place in town when I am with him this is our stop and the food is always very good

Great homemade food of all kinds. Soups are terriffic. Never had a bad meal there no matter what it is.

I recently went to Shannon's Five Star Restaurant twice in the past week. Once for Breakfast and Once for Lunch to try their Blue Plate Special (Chicken Fried Chicken).
