Everything we tried was truly amazing Southern flare and taste. The bread pudding is to die for. I will go back and check themout again.

White linen tablecloths, with white linen napkins. We were very casually dressed, as we weretraveling and there seemed to be others dressed similar and others dressed nicely. Staff was friendly and efficient. Menu hadlots of Southern style options with average prices. We had the Fried Green tomatoes for an appetizer. They were tasty , servedwith honey mustard sauce. The sauce was ok, but I prefer ranch, Which was delicious. We tried the meatloaf with mashed potatoesand gravy. It was very filling and definitely had a grandma made feel to it, very good, gravy was excellent and the cabbage wasjust cabbage. We also tried the Southern Fried Sampler, it came with a piece of corn meal battered catfish which was amazing,breaded shrimp, also amazing a salmon croquette (this I was not super fond of, a bit too fishy for me) the homemade Remouladewas delicious and the squash casserole was delicious, trust me it tasted so much better than it looked! We definitely leftstuffed and would totally go out of our way to try it again! Ladies restroom was immaculate and super cute, pics below!

The employees were all very kind and polite. The food was phenomenal! Everything came out hot and fresh. We had the Fried GreenTomatoes appetizer. Our entrees were the Chicken and Dumplings, Baked Chicken with Cornbread dressing, and the Rib tips in gravyover white rice. The sides were delicious also. The included dessert of either Peach Cobbler, or Ecclair Delight was the perfectending to the meal. This will definitely be a stop next time we are in the area of Perry, GA.

It had a very southern flavor palette, and the meatloaf was unexpectedly delicious. The glaze they put on it was very tasy. The fried chicken was good but could use a little less oil when you bite into the crust. Everything else was tasty. We had prompt service, and our server was very kind, helpful, respectful, and offered great food choices. We would definitely go back, and I'd recommend the meatloaf to anyone. It was also a very charming place with an old southern feel.
