Alanta (my niece) goes to school there and we were so excited to shop, sip, explore and eat at Fancy Girl Farms! John and I actually went 2 days in a row- Saturday our plans had shifted to later in the morning- so I jumped up and said lets go check out the farm instead of sitting around waiting for the college girl. Coffee, farm stand, nursery & garden tour was what awaited us Saturday. I grabbed a coffee from their sweet little cafe- it was scrumptious. The stroll through the gardens was blissful- it had rained and was going to rain more, so next to no one was out in the gardens- peace and quiet, yes please! The farm stand/ nursery was loaded with goods and I was compiling a shopping list! We returned Sunday for lunch and there was a crazy line quick when they opened- great for business! All the big families were there early to make sure they got seats. We had a party of 6 and were one of the first tables sat. Our server was fabulous, she had our drinks out fast & bread for the table. We all ordered the fried chicken and all were smart enough to split plates (since we were all driving hours home that same day). Sides around the table- mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, creamed corn with bacon, collard greens, black eyed peas, mac-n-cheese, fries & I'm probably missing something. We all passed food around to try too- so those sides, I tried most of them! Chicken- we got the mixed chicken white and dark meat and it was juicy, salty, crunchy skinned goodness. Top 3 for sure (truly I think I've only had one better). Mashed potatoes- too dense, very flavorful- but needs milk, sour cream, something to help loosen it Sweet potato casserole- guess what, also too dense and also wildly flavorful! The textures did not match the flavor punch Black eyed peas- delicious, really the best I've had Collard Greens- the table was bragging about how good it was Mac-n-cheese- very creamy, just the way I like it Fries- cooked perfectly Creamed Corn with bacon- very good and I loved that you can tell it's freshly made, the color! Creamy white, not artificial yellow I completely forgot about dessert- even after hearing my sister go on and on about weekly cobblers! That and the 15 layer chocolate cake- fifteen! Alright, I'll just need to go back for dessert!

It's very family friendly, but a little pricey for the quality. The calamari was dry and overcooked, and the sweet potato fries were just OK. The ribeye cheesesteak however, was surprisingly good. We asked for the calamari to come out with the sandwich, but it arrived much earlier. By the time the sandwich was served the calamari was long gone even though we had explained it intended to be the meal for hubby since he wasn't very hungry. Overall, there were some positives but the food was definitely inconsistent. While it is clearly a popular spot, our experience doesn't make us eager to return. If we're ever passing through again, we're not sure we would give it another try, though it's possible other menu items are much better.

Great food, good experience... definitely a worthwhile visit!…read more Came at around 6pm on a Thursday evening, and there were 2 other parties already seated. I grabbed a booth and was attended to very quickly! The menu is varied, but also relatively concise which I appreciated. I chose the meat sampler and added some falafel so I could try a little bit of everything. After a short wait, the food came out and it looked great! Not fancy, but certainly presentable and enticing. The chicken and kofta were really great, and the beef was good but had some inedible chewy bits included. The falafel was BOMB, and the sauces (tahini, tzatziki and house-made hot sauce) really brought it all together. The olives all had pits which I wasn't expecting! The ambiance was nice--diner vibes and a bit "lived in," but I felt comfortable and happy there. I can easily overlook the few shortcomings, because the food, value, and service were all fantastic.

If any drawback, the pacing got very slow while awaiting main courses to arrive. Granted, we had at least a dozen folks needing food all at once so that's a challenge anywhere. We didn't start until 7:30 but when it's going on 9:30 pm before food arrives, it feels long. But again, this was a good experience overall & for a locally upscale restaurant, the prices were reasonable, especially considering you got two sides PLUS a salad with your entree (& significantly below the "upscale dinner" we'd had in downtown Savannah the night before). I got a spinach salad with my fried shrimp, squash casserole & Gouda grits. I splurged to add a scallop for $4.50. It was fine but probably wouldn't do next time. A passable cocktail to start & good iced tea with dinner. There were appetizers for the table that were fine but not remembering specifics. Try it.

Every dish we tried was delicious, and it's easily some of the best Ethiopian food I've had. That said, be prepared to take your time.

We ended up spending close to two hours there, with most of that time waiting for the food to come out. If you're in a rush, this probably isn't the spot. But if you're willing to slow down and enjoy a relaxed, unhurried meal, the quality of the food makes the wait worthwhile. I'd absolutely come back, just with patience and no tight schedule.

Each of the sides had such great flavor profiles! I first tried Ethiopian food about 12 years ago at a place in Portland, Oregon, and I've been wanting it again ever since. When I saw this restaurant open here in Valdosta, I was genuinely excited to finally have it again -- and now I wish I had gone sooner because I've clearly been missing out. Even as a pickup order, the service stood out the staff was personable and inviting. Everything was carefully packed, warm, and clearly made with care. And the cheesecake sambusa? Unreal, the perfect way to finish the meal. I can't wait to go back and make this a regular spot for my family and me.

We were greeted with a smile the second we walked in, and our server was friendly and attentive the whole time. A+ for vibes and service. Now, the food... oof. We started with the appetizer special of the night, which, shockingly, was the best thing we had--and it was aggressively mid. Everything that followed? Two thumbs down. The peas I ordered as a side; I swear were marinated in red onion slivers for several decades. Even after picking out all the visible onion, (as shown in pictures) it still tasted like Shrek's bathwater. If I had ordered this on a first date, I would've just gone home to save us both the trauma of onion breath. There's no way a single person has ever eaten this dish and said, "Wow, that was delightful." I'd actually pay money to see the facial expressions of anyone taking a bite. My partner's mashed potatoes? So dry and dense I could've thrown them at a wall and they'd stick. Come back the next morning and they'd be holding up drywall. Not a single drop of moisture in sight. I asked for crushed red pepper for my flatbread (thinking maybe it could be saved). No - No pepper flakes. Apparently none of their flatbreads are allowed joy or spice. Even if they did have red pepper, I don't think it would've saved it. Best thing we had all night? My partner's chicken. And even that was dry. So, that says a lot. Final verdict: come here for a drink and a snack before going somewhere else for the actual meal. It's a great pregame spot, but if you're hungry-hungry, keep walking.

Review It had been quite a few years since my last visit to a Texas Roadhouse, and this was my first time at the Valdosta location right off the interstate. Structurally, the restaurant has plenty of parking and is very easy to find, though it was definitely packed. On the service front, the waitstaff was extremely nice. Our waitress was actually in training and did a fantastic job--she was highly attentive with refills and timed our ordering perfectly without making us wait around. The front-of-house staff seemed to know what they were doing, but the hostess failed to explain anything to someone who hasn't been to the chain in a while, throwing out terms like we were "on deck" without clarifying if we were signed in or what that meant. The highlight of the meal was easily the rolls; they are obviously the best thing on the menu, and the honey butter is incredible. From a value standpoint, the prices are very reasonable, the timing was great, and the food came out quickly. However, the food quality itself fell short of what I remembered. Cons The Peanuts: I saw the bucket for peanuts but didn't see any peanuts, nor were they offered. Lack of Communication: The front desk host didn't explain the seating process or what "on deck" meant. Overly Salty Chicken: The Chicken Fried Chicken was overly salty and tasted like it was dropped straight from a frozen package into a fryer, rather than made fresh. Overcooked Steak: The steak was ordered medium but served almost well-done and dried out, giving the impression it had been sitting on a warming pad for a while rather than being cooked to order. Thumbs Up / Thumbs Down Thumbs Down While it is a quick, easy, and well-priced spot if you are just looking for a fast meal on the go, the poor food quality means it will probably be a while before I choose to go back.
