The poster below was misled if he/she was looking for soul food. This particular establishment specializes in ""country cooking"" which is slightly different from soul food. You'll find pork chops, roast beef&gravy, beef tips w/ rice, bbq chicken, fried fish, and a whole host of veggies like homemade mashed potatoes, collard greens, yams, limas, green beans, etc. Everything here is made from scratch, from the biscuits and hushpuppies to the gravy for the roast beef and mashed potatoes to the OUTSTANDING banana pudding (on thurs. and fri.) - nothing is from cans (like K&W Cafeteria for example). This place is far better, and I drive from Durham every week just to eat here because it's worth it. \r

You can get a meat + 2 veggies + tea here for 7 dollars and change. The price-to-value ratio is unbeatable. \r

This place has grown on me over time. If you go in expecting a ""Sunday's best"" meal, you might be disappointed. I have an adage for my two favorite southern places in this area - Joyce and Family in Fuquay-Varina or Old Place in Bear Creek, NC is what you'd expect your grandma to make for lunch on Sunday; Pam's is what you'd expect her to make for lunch on Thursday.
Pros: simple but good made-from-scratch country cooking
Cons: not the best if you're counting calories or watching your arteries
