Pork chops, creamed potatoes, white beans, and fried corn.
David V.

Stopped in 11-10-23 about 5:00. The restaurant was extremely clean. I was quickly greeted and my order taken. The food arrived after about 15 minutes. The pork chops were delicious, the creamed potatoes were good, the corn and beans could use a little more seasoning but overall were good. The server did a great job of checking on to see if I needed a refill from afar, and did a great job of checking but not interfering with dinner. Sometimes it seems you're being asked every 3-4 minutes if everything is alright, and that sometimes annoys me. A not-so-good fast food place on average is about $11-$12, so it's worth the extra few dollars to eat a good meal. I would absolutely recommend anyone that likes country cooking or comfort food to stop in and give it a try. You won't be disappointed. I would rate this place 4 1/2 stars if I could.

Fried chicken breast with sawmill gravy.
Bill G.

I had a short overnight stay in Ringgold GA, and based on reviews, I chose this for my dinner destination. It did not disappoint. I went with the fried chicken breast with sawmill gravy which was delicious. My two side choices were creamed potatoes and green beans. The gravy was tasty, yet didn't overpower the excellently prepared fried chicken. The inside was basic, but the food is the story here. My server, as well as the manager were friendly and professional. I highly recommend.

meatloaf, "whipped" potatoes, fried corn
Anonymous P.

portions are EXTREMELY small for the price. you'd get more bang for your buck out of a $2 tv dinner. i've eaten better food in jail, and that's saying alot.. the portion size is similar to an institution, almost felt like i was being served at a nursing home or something. not sure what the "fried corn" was, but it is not what i expected. it was inedible. the mashed potatoes taste boxed, zero hints of real potato and very watered down. the meatloaf had good flavor but the ketchup tasted very cheap like a knock off store brand. i am not sure how this place accumulated so many great reviews, (im literally shocked) because everyone says its so good, made me HAVE to try it... 0/10 worst doning experience i've had in a long time.

Effie's has been a staple of the Ringgold landscape for many years. After closing at the old location several years ago they have reopened downtown Ringgold. The menu looks as good as ever with plenty of home cooked option to quench your appetite for southern comfort food. I came early on a Sunday morning before 11:00 and the line was out the door. Expect slow service as they catch their groove. The food was ok but not yet back to the original version. I expect things will get better as they get more experience.

Great Southern meat and three. The chicken and dressing and cornbread are yummy! Busy on Sunday but not too long of a wait to be seated.

I made an order online to pick up at 5pm, they took my payment and said it would be ready. It…read morewasn't ready at 5:05 but it was being made. At 5:15 it wasn't being made. My husband said to cancel it and refund our money, walked out. I called the store and was told they couldn't refund the money. I called corporate and was told that the cancelation window was closed but that they would send it back to the location to have them handle it. Wait they told me they wouldn't refund it. Told me I would get a call or an email. I told them I will be filing a claim for fraud because they took my payment but didn't supply the food. DON'T GO TO KFC or at least don't pay before you are there. Will NEVER go to any KFC location again. Will dispute this with my bank because this is stupid. Didn't get the food=refund but the location can't do that. They have cameras showing my husband walking out without food because he couldn't wait until they made it which they couldn't tell him when they would make it.

I would just like to say the service here sucks. I came through the drive thru to order my family…read moresome dinner. On their menu it clearly states they have a 16 pc so I didn't think it would be a problem if I ordered that size family meal, considering I have a big family that likes chicken... and it's clearly on the menu board outside behind the drive thru speaker, and inside displayed on the menu board. as soon as I told her that was what I wanted she goes "my god" like girl it is your job to ring me up and keep your opinions to yourself. Had a septum in her face idk if she was just having a bad day or what but she needs to be put in the back if she can't handle the drive thru window
