The best thing about the Brass Door is the consistency. The food is always good, the service is always great, the atmosphere is always relaxed and friendly. It's like going back home again. If you haven't eaten here, where have you been?

I went for the all you can eat pork chops it came with mash potatoes, gravy, green beans, Cole slaw, biscuits, and apple sauce. Besides needing a little salt for the potatoes it was perfect. Will definitely go back soon.
