I saw this place as we were in our way to our worksite. The name caught my eye and it was all I…read morecould think about. We went here for lunch. It's a small place sort of looked like it could have been a fast food restaurant. There was plenty of seating. You could order from the menu or from the hot table (not sure what else to call it). There were two ladies working up front and it took a long time to order. I had the fried chicken with mashed potatoes, green beans, a cornbread muffin and a tea (half sweet/half unsweetened). My colleague had meatloaf, Mac and cheese, green beans, and a biscuit. We each ordered peach cobbler. They serve a lot of food! My colleague said she was going to take some for dinner. Well. . . she ate everything. It must have been really good. I haven't had good fried chicken in a long time and it was delicious. I ate all the green beans and the cornbread. I took the chicken to eat later. The mashed potatoes started out tasting good but then I started to notice an after taste that I didn't like. I didn't eat them. My colleague could not eat the cobbler. I'm not sure what was wrong with it but she tasted it and said she couldn't eat it. I unfortunately never got to eat mine. It sat in the fridge in the hotel and I ended up tossing it before I left. I was a little disappointed. I really was expecting some grits and maybe some greens (not green beans).

We didn't need to add anything to our food and it was perfect. Those were some of the best grits I've ever had in my LIFE. I will make a special trip out of the way for good food, and this is a spot that I'd come to every week if I lived closer. The cooks' hands are blessed, because the way I INHALED that food should be a crime in itself. The decor was cute and festive for the occasion, but all I could concentrate on was that FOOD.

The service by our friendly and funny waitress Beth was top notch. We went early , getting there 15 minutes before they opened at 11. There were already a dozen folks waiting on the porch already! They had a sign in sheet by the door so there was no rush or guessing when to go in as they called parties from the list. The dining rooms is not big and there are lots of antiques and movie posters on the walls. You really felt you were back in a restaurant decades ago. The train tracks are right beside The Whistle Stop so the name is appropriate. We started with the fried green tomatoes which were great with the somewhat spicy remoulade sauce they came with. I then had the pork chops and my wife had the chopped steak. Both were good. The veggies we saw all looked good. The Brussels sprouts were roasted with sugar I think as they were sweet. The mashed potatoes were good the turnip greens were just OK as was the cornbread. Our total bill, for two lunches and 2 teas was about $55. After lunch the small Main Street in Juliette offered several shops to browse through and shop making for a fun lunch outing.

We even found Smoky Lonesome's cabin! The food is VERY good with TONS of choices. The list of available side dishes fills a giant blackboard over the counter. Portions were generous. Side note: try the Brussels sprouts. Even if you're not usually a fan you won't be sorry. The service was fantastic. Our server (self-identified as "another Yankee") was a riot. She kept the whole family in stitches. The restaurant is pretty popular, so there is a bit of a wait, but there are several shops along the street displaying an eclectic mixture of items, including FGT souvenirs (think "Towanda!") We can't wait to visit Georgia again so that we can have another meal here.

Tonight, we enjoyed Grits Sticks that were piping hot with a delightful, pickled slaw. I ordered the amazing Shrimp and grits martini. Shrimp was seasoned and cooked to perfection along with creamy mushroom grits. OMG the bacon crumbles on top made it so-o-o good! Husband loved his crab ravioli in a light sauce. Never had a bad meal here in the years we make sure to stop. A real gem in this quant town 60 miles from Atlanta. Real southern fare with gourmet touch. Prices were more than fair compared to Florida eateries. White glove service from Sophie and upscale ambiance.

It is a culinary delight in Georgia well worth a little out of the way travel this last time my husband had lamb which was cooked to perfection and I had something I've never had which was a shrimp and grits martini. Basically it was served in a martini glass, which was very attractive and it was perfect. The shrimp was seasoned well the Grits had Gouda cheese in them and were delightful all in all it was absolutely delicious. We also tried their fried Grits sticks, which were very yummy again it's one of our favorite places to travel to in Georgia, highly highly recommended.

The Taste of Heaven just happens to be one. I recently spent nearly $70 on 2 chitterling dinners ( don't judge) but what I got was 2 rice dinners with just a coating of chitterlings on top. After waiting over 20 minutes, being only customer when I arrived , I was told that there wasn't enough chitterlings to fill both my orders and offered me oxtails on the platter with the least. Tired of waiting I agreed. When I tasted the chitterlings and the oxtails it was obvious that they had been thawed a couple of time. They were so over seasoned and spicy hot that it was closer to a taste of hell! On a positive note, the place was very clean with the strong scent of Pine Sol in the air, and the lady who took my order was very nice. But, I was so disappointed in the food, I couldn't rate them more than a 2. WE HAVE TO DO BETTER !

I'm giving a 4 instead of a 5 because I was seated next to a door and the cold air was doing a number on me. Also think we came in during a shift change and it took a while for us to be attended to.

Everything was so good, my favorite meal in Covington! I wish we had room for dessert because everything sounded good. We checked out upstairs and saw the hallway with all the signed menus- so cool!!
