This place blew me away. The food was absolutely tasty and the offerings were amazing. If I had…read moremore time in Clayton, GA, I probably would have had all my remaining meals here. This diner is located in a back street, next to a market and close enough to a strip mall with restaurants. It's a quiet place although lots of people come in and out. We sat down, got our coffee, ate our meals, and wondered if we could eat more. The food was so tasty that we really wanted to take more food with us. I had a chicken fried steak and my gf had an omelette. Every table around us was busy eating, we were not the only ones who appreciated this food. For a humble place with delicious food, the prices were average. The coffee could use a little help, as well as the A/C, but all in all, it was a win for us hungry bears.

I feel…read moresorry for the person that told me that because they must have never even gotten out of their own driveway. I have never seen or eaten such slop in my life. I've seen better being thrown in a pigpen. They had these little black round things that were harder than the tray they were laying in. I asked what they were and was told Salisbury steak and if you soak them in gravy on your plate they'll surely soften up some. The chicken tenders had to be picked up and gnawed on. The potatoes didn't taste instant or like real potatoes. They were watery and very bland. The puddle of creamed corn ran everywhere. Had no consistency and the bread peach cobbler was horrible. The taste was acceptable but the texture was like wet spur dough bread soaked in water. Had to pay $2 extra if you wanted a soda, then they didn't have coke. I got the sweet tea, they didn't have lemon but she offered to go cut me some. She never came back. Take your money and go to Golden Coral. This place makes Golden Coral fit for a King. It is simply nasty.

We were in town for a family wedding and looking for a breakfast. Surprisingly we got lucky on a…read moreSaturday morning at nine to be able to walk in and get a table. We're not used to that in the big city. The service was good considering they're only appeared to be a couple waitresses handling the whole restaurant I ordered eggs over easy with grits and smoked sausage. I was a little disappointed in my eggs were over hard and not runny. The smoked sausage tasted more like store-bought sausage, and the grits were fairly bland. Not a bad meal and I ate it all, but not what I was hoping for. Now a couple of us did split a cinnamon roll that was out of this world good. It was hot fresh and tasted really good.

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.

It came from an episode of the All In The Family tv show. Archie told a story about being so poor, at one point as a kid he had just one shoe and one boot. Shoe. Boot. The kid's nicknamed him ShoeBootie. Well alright. Loved the decor and atmosphere. We sat in a downstairs booth in the main first aisle. Cozy and great for people watching. When the a/c kicked on it got a tad chilly but I didn't mind. I started out with a bowl of the Lobster Bisque. Absolutely delicious. Nice chunks of sweet lobster meat. Semi-creamy with a hint of heat spice. The three of us shared a Baked Crab, Artichoke & Spinach Dip. It was very good. Not a lot of crab taste I thought. I loved the spinach tortilla chips. Thin, lightly fried, they broke nicely. I opted for the Prime Rib Philly. Dipped into a cup of Au Jus, just right. One friend got the Cranberry Turkey Melt. She enjoyed it. Her daughter got the Fish & Chips. The fish, cod, was bland and tasteless, even with the fried tempura batter. I tried a bite, agreed it lacked flavor. Overall a nice midday lunch experience.

I didn't like the other items so she gave me a chicken breast and as you can see that is the tiniest chicken breast I've ever seen. The Mac n cheese would have been good if they added some seasoning it was so bland. The mashed potatoes are clearly boxed. The black eyed peas again no flavor. Two of us ate and the bill was $45. That's a lot of money for hardly any meat a bunch of bland sides, and an unpleasant server. Definitely won't be back. Lastly the bathroom was clean and so was the dining area but it's very outdated and it was as WAY too hot we were sweating eating. I think they need to have their HVAC service

This is great. Also had some good eggs and sausage on the side. Megan had a biscuit with black eyed pea gravy that was on the specials. Neither of us liked it much, it was dry and could have used some more flavor. Little City is a little out of the way but it is good, they appear to actual cook here and not just reheat some stuff, and the people are cool. I definitely will hit this every once every 6-8 weeks when in the area. I just wish they would do a better job promoting the specials, then I might come here more often!
