My wife and I had noticed Edna's several times during drives through north Georgia but they were always closed. Drove by Saturday, saw they were open, and decided to give it a try. I got chicken (by far the best thing about this meal; it was actually pretty good), pinto beans and collared greens. The sides were served in these tiny cups that probably contained about a half of what one would usually consider a decent portion. The beans were okay (I hit a few that were undercooked to the point of being crunchy. But good grief, the collard greens tasted like someone had squirted bug spray in them. Utterly inedible. My wife tried one bite and instantly regretted it. I put the tiny bowl full of greens on the edge of the table, hoping our server would notice they were untouched and would offer a substitute. Nope. Didn't see him again until the end of the meal, and he had no curiosity about why they were uneaten. My wife got meat loaf, mashed potatoes and green beans. Her observations: green beans out of a can, mashed potatoes meh, meat loaf "edible." She asked the server when he brought our plates if she could have some butter and he pointed to a rack of little containers and said, "There." She didn't have on her glasses and didn't realize those little packets did NOT contain butter but instead some hideous fake butter spread that was old and awful. Turned the okay potatoes inedible. Once again, the server ignored that they were untouched. Service leaves a lot to be desired. The employees seem nice and earnest but don't seem to grasp what service should entail. If they see that a customer hasn't touched some of their meal, they should make some attempt to make it right. At this point I'm sure you, dear reader, have reached the correct conclusion that we will never be back to, nor can we recommend, Edna's. read more

Stopped in as we were passing through town. Never heard of this place but totally worth stopping for! Reminds me of a home town diner where everyone knows everyone else in there! Service was great, prices are great! Fried chicken was one of the best we have had - so totally recommend visiting when you are in the area! Fantastic home cooked meal. read more

Edna's Restaurant - Fried chicken with 2 sides - Southern Near Me - Chatsworth, Georgia

See all

Three friends and I decided to put some miles on our motorcycles and decided to stop in here when we got hungry. The times I have driven or ridden by here there was always a crowd so I was anxious to see what brought the crowd in. Zero disappointments. 3 of us had meatloaf with everything from collards to mashed potatoes and gravy to potatoe salad to candied yams. Home runs on all accounts. My friend got the hamburger steak and it was great too. Hadn't planned on dessert but how does one pass up homemade pie? My friend had chocolate and I had coconut cream. Each bite reminded me of the Sundays when my mother made hers for us to enjoy. It's a little out of the way but not hard to get too. If you're in north Georgia or southeast Tennessee in the Ocoee area it's worth the few minute drive to get a meal that'll take you back to simpler days. And friendly service doesn't do these folks justice either. A great meal and experience. read more

Very basic food. Everything tastes like the can it came out of. Chicken is always tough. I 100% do not recommend.

Everything the food people service and the prices and bring the family. The best home soul cooking I've have in so long

What a great representation of the local culture! Now, I am always 100% percent honest with my reviews. I have to admit this restaurants puts effort in every single way. The service was superb! Very friendly! its what you call true southern hospitality from beginning to end. The fish sandwich and onions rings were fresh and delish perfectly battered! The fried chicken was crispy and moist I wish it had a bit more seasoning but if you use a sauce with it then you golden. The chicken included 3 sides: I had the pickle beets, just ok. Then the macaroni salad which is not my favorite side dish and will probably never order again. The mac and cheese was not as great either but if u hungry it does the job. Since I love to fish nearby, I will be trying all the sides and other dishes little by little and i will keep posting My thought on them. My absolute favorite so far were the onion rings. read more

The food was not very appealing and some of it was cold. Some of the sides on the menu weren't available. I would not recommend.

Food is great, came out fast was a little Luke warm but the taste was amazing. Good home style cooking. Servers are very friendly, nice little cozy place. read more

I must be the only person in Chatsworth who doesn't like this place... very bland food to my taste. Service is always good. Nice people

In the middle of Chatsworth is a small family run restaurant that gives you more bang for the buck than most. Meat/ and 3 for under $8.00! The food was good, served pretty quick and the servers work hard to take care of everyone. This is where the locals bring their families to eat. There is a certain "kindness" that the patrons show each other. A head nod, a smile, or a few brief words exchanged. This restaurant, the workers and patrons leave you with a genuine good feeling about your experience here. I highly recommend this place when you're in the area. read more

Edna's Restaurant - Fried chicken livers, pinto beans, whole kernel corn, whipped potatoes with brown gravy, and rolls. Great food at a great price! - Southern Near Me - Chatsworth, Georgia

This place has a few things going for it that makes me want to return Fried chicken daily and it's so good! The crust was so good and there are other meat and 3 places around that only do chicken once a week. It's nice to know they have items you can get any day The pintos and green beans were ok but the mash potatoes were instant. That was a turn off So the desserts we ordered a apple caramel pie that was ok but took home the peanut butter pie and it was the best peanut butter pie I've ever eaten. It was so well made and had a huge meringue on it. I can still taste that pie and swear I've dreamed about since I will have be having that again read more

Edna's Restaurant - a plate of fried chicken, gravy, and green beans - Southern Near Me - Chatsworth, Georgia

Edna's is just the best and is a staple in Chatsworth. Their cornbread is so delicious. Highly recommend!

Food was disappointing. Green beans out of a can, no seasoning. Potato salad and macaroni salad tasted the same, so I assume that was from a a bucket. Ham was like Potted meat. . It was so sad. We had looked forward to a good home cooked meal. Will not stop there again. read more

Hometown favorite and peanut butter pie. Service is wonderful and always pleasant. Wonderful food and made to order burgers.

Excellent! Real home cooking! Frog legs fresh battered that day. I saw lots of localsc choosing the daily platters of chicken and dressing yams and fried okra! Great choice! read more

Always good, fresh, fast, and clean with good prices and friendly staff. Never go wrong taking pie home!

Looking for some food because we were starving - passing through the town. Saw the sign ( they are RIGHT ON the road ) and stopped. Older diner type of place. If you are looking for a pretty, modern building, this isn't it. This looks like a hard working staff if trying to keep a business alive without all the bells and whistles. I liked it alot. It's simple. Super friendly staff, very attentive. Didn't know what to expect, food wise. But we were not disappointed. Excellent food. Obviously made to order. Comfort food. The fries were seasoned just right too. Sweet tea was exactly what I needed. The hushpuppies were excellent. I definitely see why a bunch of locals were there that afternoon. I would recommend this place. read more

Real country food and no new age technology so it's wonderful and so delicious beef tips and gravy but then they have these chicken chiefs salad omg country bacon boiled egg fresh chicken tender yeah even better than Wendy's and anyone that knows me knows I will eat one for every meal but not at any Wendy's because the only one around here that has it right they are always perfect is in Chatsworth and the only reason it's better is for one it's got fresh bacon and chicken but it really was good but it also cost more so it's something you should try tho read more

We were heading home from Fort Mountain State Park and found this restaurant on Yelp. The food is EXCELLENT- especially the fried chicken. The whipped potatoes and corn nuggets were especially good - but leave room for dessert because there is homemade pie! The staff is extremely friendly and attentive, the restaurant is clean and an easy find right on the highway. This place is filled with locals but definitely worth the stop for folks traveling through. read more

My favorite restaurant in the area and I make it a point to eat here when i come home. The fried chicken is tender, juicy, and delicious! The peanut butter pie is a must try. The food isn't fancy and some of the items aren't made from scratch, but it's just like the meals at my grandparents growing up. read more

Good food at a good price ,locally owned and operated for 3 generations, they specialize in fried chicken

Good homemade ,old fashioned meat and three. Food tasted wonderful, not overly seasoned. Good variety and nice selection of desserts. Nothing fancy but we enjoyed it. Great prices too. read more

This is not "home cooking". Though it wasn't horrible it was obvious that most of the food on my plate was from a can. Gravy, string beans and corn but the meatloaf was ok. No issues with the service but that's only part of the experience. I can't say I'll be back. read more

Terrific lunch for two for just over 20. We both had the country style steak with mashed potatoes my mom had green beans, and I had broccoli and cheese casserole. read more

Good food, friendly service!! good country Cookin with a lot of local favorites. This place has been here all my life. Great place to eat and gather. Try you would like it. read more

Eating at Edna's is something of a trip back in time. A time of melamine tableware, when "homemade" meant mashed potatoes came out of a box, rolls came out of a bag, and chicken salad contained all the main components of tartar sauce. Don't get me wrong. The meatloaf was good. (Though the fried chicken seemed uninspired.) And prices were VERY reasonable. Come with an appetite. These people will feed you! The staff are friendly and very helpful. It's easy to see that Edna's is a major gathering spot in Chatsworth, and that this place stands out among all the other run-of-the-mill fast food places in that small town. When you go, ask for Edna's sister. read more

Stopped here for lunch with a coworker and were not disappointed. I tried the fish sandwich and it was pretty good. The fries were crispy and couldn't keep myself from ordering the peanut butter pie. The service was friendly and attentive. read more

Had the fried chicken. Very crispy outside and moist and juicy inside. Also very flavorful. Sides were good. Green beans were not smoky, Mac and cheese very cheesy, mash potatoes and gravy (instant) but still very good. Corn muffin and rolls were tasty. Sweet tea - excellent! Friendly staff and wonderful service. read more

Very disappointed. Only gave it 2 stars as it wasn't very expensive. Fried chicken was dry and veggies obviously came straight out of a can with little seasoning. Supposed to be one of the better places to eat in Chatsworth, GA. I'm scared to try any of the rest. read more

Great food, great service, and feels like a Sunday afternoon throw down. Try the chicken livers, and treat yourself to some bourbon pecan pie. Edna's does not disappoint! read more

I was sadly disappointed. For a restaurant who serves southern food, there seamed you be very little butter or salt used. I'm 99% sure that most of the food is mass produced. I was hopeful that the peanut butter pie would save the day, but I had a hard time finding it under all the meringue. Would I eat here again? If I had to. Would I recommend it, no not really. read more

What a hidden treasure! The set menu allows for home style comfort food to be deliciously served at a terrific price. The waitress was sweet and took great care of us. We had several food choice options, which change daily. We were very happy to have found Edna's. read more

Great service and atmosphere. Some of the food tastes as if it comes from cans or shipped pre-cooked, but most of the food is fresh and delicious. Good place to take the family. Recommended. read more

Worst service ever! Yes this is their first day for breakfast but, very poor planning. Took 15 mins to place order, left after an hour no food. Head waitress (possibly Edna) talking to friends ignoring customers. At one point the cook came out and sat to talk to his friends. read more

Great Food and wonderful service! They have the food that makes this Southern Woman smile!!

Pretty good country cooking here. Crispy fried chicken, heavy dense meatloaf and beef and pork slathered with gravy. Good gravy it's good. Peas, greens, beans mashed potatoes and okra are guaranteed to fill a body up. Buttermilk pie is what's fir dessert. The old place is beginning to show it's age now. But they keep it clean if you could scrub back down to new it'd be so by now.? Service is agreeable. They are happy to see you but at the same time you get the feeling they about to start taking any guff from anybody now. It's a well managed place serving up good country meats n vegetables ate a reasonable price. They've been doing it nigh on to 50 years now. read more
