Fried chicken -great! Fried catfish -great ! Smash burger - better than the other burger places ! Sides are all great as well. Collards are some of the best I've had in a restaurant setting. Salads are great too. ( Side and entree ) Service is good and fast as you order and pay at counter and then sit and wait for them to bring your food to the table. Then they continue to wait on you. Filling drinks and bringing you what you need. I feel like the owners are always in there working- making sure the place runs well. Talking to people, running food out. I always feel taken care of. This place is on our regular rotation.

My first trip in got the fried pork chop a with sweet potato mash and green beans. All were delicious! The sweet tea was perfect too, not too sweet.

We mentioned it was…read moreour first time in the restaurant and two people heading out the door told us they were regulars and we would really like it. Let's just say the restaurant exceeded the hype. First off a Thank You to Chiara for the great service. I ordered the chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy and Mac and Cheese. My better half had the fried pork chop, collards along with the mashed potatoes and gravy. We both loved our meals loaded with great flavor and the tenderness of the entree's. Now the cornbread was just like what my wife's granny used to make. Can't forget the chocolate fudge cake. We highly recommend you stop in to give them a try. We know we will be back the next time we are in town.

I harshed this place based on a bad outing a couple of years ago on Valentine's Day…read more I ate there twice this trip. I had Shrimp and grits for lunch one time, and it did not disappoint. I think it's the best dish they serve, and I order it every time when I'm in town in Athens once a year. Order this with a fried egg on top and thank me later. Being solo and from out of town, I grabbed an early dinner at the bar upstairs, which is, frankly, a lot nicer than the downstairs dining room. The bone-in pork chop i ordered was very good but not mind blowing, but I enjoyed it along with its accompaniments, those being mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. It appeared they staffed up for Valentine's Day this year. There were three bartenders working the food and drink orders at the bar upstairs. I washed both meals down with sweet tea as one does. The service was great. Cheers!

Stopped by Cottage House Restaurant in Cleveland and this place is exactly what you want if you're…read morelooking for a solid, no-frills Southern breakfast. First off, the setup is super easy. You walk in, grab a tray, and you've got options. You can go through the hot bar and get served right there, pay, and be on your way... or order off the menu, sit down, and they'll bring the food to you. Very simple and efficient. The inside is spacious with plenty of seating, and there's also outdoor seating if you want it. Parking is easy too, which is a big plus, especially compared to the chaos you'll run into closer to Helen. Food wise, I always judge breakfast spots by the chicken, egg, and cheese biscuit... and this one held up. The chicken was tender, the biscuit was soft and fresh, and overall it was a solid start. The surprise for me was the hashbrown casserole. It came out good, but once I added a little salt, the flavor really popped. Definitely worth getting. The pancakes were also done right... nice crispy edges with a soft, fluffy inside. That's exactly how pancakes should be. Menu wise, they've got everything you'd expect from a Southern breakfast spot... biscuits and gravy, eggs, bacon, sausage, country ham, pancakes, omelets, and even lunch style items like burgers and plate meals if you come later. They also have a Coca-Cola fountain, which is always a win. Service was friendly, especially for early morning, and the whole place just has that comfortable, old-school home cooking feel. There is also a drive thru if you don't feel like leaving your car. Overall, this is a great spot if you want a good breakfast without the crowds. Simple, tasty, and easy.
