What People Say
Most Liked
Customers rave about the fried shrimp, often describing it as the best in the area due to its crispy coating and juicy interior. Many guests can’t resist the onion rings, frequently noted as a highlight with their perfect crunch and seasoning. The Philly cheesesteak also garners attention for its balance of flavors and generous fillings. Quick service and a friendly team enhance the experience, making diners feel at home. Additionally, the affordable price range—from $10 to $20—enables everyone to indulge without breaking the bank, making it an excellent choice for families seeking an enjoyable evening out.
Most Disliked
One consistent critique is the limited parking space, which can be frustrating during peak hours. Some diners have also wished for a more extensive menu, though most understand its charm lies in offering staple comfort foods rather than over-complicating with too many choices. During busy times, service can slow slightly as the kitchen manages the flow of orders, leading some diners to mention a wait for their meals. Lastly, while the cozy interior is inviting, replicating the relaxing atmosphere during busy lunch hours can be a challenge for those seeking a quiet spot to unwind.

Five Stars – A Memorable Family Experience! There’s a reason this highly reviewed, family-owned business has earned such a strong reputation and after our first visit, it’s easy to see why! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. The menu was easy to navigate, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful in recommending food options. The entire ordering process was smooth and efficient. I went with the half Philly cheesesteak and half traditional spicy garlic wings, with a side of onion rings. Let me just say, “WOW!” Everything was fresh, hot, and clearly made to order. The flavors were spot on, and it was one of the best combos I’ve had in a long time, especially paired with a couple sides of ranch. What made the experience even better was the fun I had afterward with my wife and son. We enjoyed playing on the stuffed animal claw machine they had inside the restaurant. It really made the visit feel special and added a personal touch to the whole outing. We’re already looking forward to our next visit. Big thank you to the Hawkins family for the great food and friendly atmosphere. You’ve definitely gained a new regular!

This is my kind of "hole-in-the-wall" place. Nothing fancy just amazing food! And what's more important than the food. Excellent burgers and best onion rings I think I've ever had!

I recently met Christopher and LaTeisha Hawkins, and while visiting I noticed LaTeisha's "Hawkins Tasty Food" shirt and asked if it was their restaurant. Since I really enjoy "mom and pop" family-owned diners I said I would drop in for lunch. I decided to take my 88-year-old mother to lunch so Hawkins Tasty Food was our destination. It is 22.3 miles from my house to the front door of the diner. Upon entering we were greeted, I said hello to LaTeisha, and quickly seated. Shortly after being seated a stream of locals started showing for lunch, always a good sign. Unlike some large chain restaurants, the menu was smaller with more specialty items. Fried catfish, fried shrimp, and fried chicken were all available. Noticeably absent, but not really missed was chicken fried steak. My mother selected the fried catfish combo, and I chose the fried shrimp combo. The combo plate comes with fries, tots, or onion rings. I chose onion rings, and my mom chose the fries, but she upgraded them to "fajita fries" which she had seen on the menu. Imagine chili-cheese fries, only better! When our platters arrived my mom immediately "stole" one of my onion rings. She loves a good onion ring and kind of judges a place by how good the onion rings are. "Oh, my gosh!" was heard as she took the first bite. She said these were some of the best onion rings she's ever eaten. From the hush puppies (excellent), the onion rings (amazing) to fajita fries (incredible, who thought those up?) to the fried catfish and fried shrimp, the entire meal was delicious! With large portions sizes, neither of us finished our meal. I said at the beginning that it was 22.3 miles from my house to Hawkins Tasty Food. Well, it was well worth the drive. At only 10 minutes from where I work, I can see me returning for an early dinner soon.

So dang good! We stopped by after craving wings and learned it’s a family-owned place! Loved that touch. The food is fresh and hot. I got the catfish/wings combo and my husband got a burger and we both thought our food was delicious. We’ll certainly be back! Many blessings to this family’s business.
