    a menu on a table
    Sandy P.

    The seating is space apart, utensils are in a plastic bag with napkin,I can tell this is a family setting with the family of 5 eating 6ft away, having a good family breakfast and a morning conversation which before rarely I seen, the new owner is the sister-in-law , so if you are in town come in and support her by in joying breakfast and lunch special. The prices are good, The Breakfast Bowl was different I loved it, The waitress was family friendly, made me feel safe and comfortable.

    How lucky I am to have cute breakfast and lunch place in Smiths Station. Take the family whenever we can. I still need to try dessert.

    You do not get a lot of food on your plate for the money, the bathrooms are disgusting and place is dirty, For me I won't go back.

    In town visiting family and wanted to try a local spot, and Plucked Up Chicken & Biscuits did not…read moredisappoint. My wife had the grits with bacon and a biscuit, and everything was delicious. I had one of their popular breakfast plates with chicken, eggs, gravy, and a biscuit, and it was excellent. The chicken was flavorful, the biscuit was on point, and the whole meal felt like true Southern comfort food. Service was fast, friendly, and welcoming. It had that genuine Southern charm you hope to find when visiting a South Georgia city. Definitely a great local stop, and we'd come back again.

    This happened on July 27, 2026…read more I was visiting family and one day I ventured out on my own looking for a place to eat. I saw this restaurant and thought it was really a cute spot. I went in... I was welcomed beautifully and even chatted with the ladies about the neat Plucked Up t-shirts. I thought it was going to be a nice visit. I ordered Chicken and Grits along with a sweet tea. It looked delicious. The chicken and grits came with a wonderful country biscuit. I was shocked with the first spoonful. This was THE SALTIEST thing I have ever tasted in my life. It was as if the chef poured the ENTIRE box of Morton's Salt into my meal. When the server asked, very nonchalantly, how my meal was she was way different than when I first walked in. I VERY KINDLY let her know that everything was wonderful except for my entree. Her response was, "oh really?" She turned and walked away and that was it. The positive notes: The young man who has been doing dishes there for years is so wonderful and kind along with his easy going, very friendly and loving grandparents. The decor is ADORABLE! I won't be returning. Be careful. I should have read the reviews.

If you're anywhere near downtown Columbus, this needs to be your stop. The Old Fashioned was beautifully balanced, garnished with a gorgeous orange peel, and at $10 it's an absolute steal -- honestly, they could charge more and it'd still be worth it. My wife is vegetarian and had the pasta, which she loved just as much -- great sauce, feta, sunflower seeds for crunch. This place genuinely has something for everyone, carnivore or not. Add in a waiter who was on point the whole meal and that down-home Southern ambiance (exposed brick, string lights, the whole vibe), and you've got a restaurant that nails food, drinks, and atmosphere all at once. If you're looking for where to eat in Columbus, don't even think twice -- this is it.

But, other than that our actual wait person was awesome and the food top notch! The hot pimento crab dip is to die for and the Harlot Burger was a definite winner. We also very much enjoyed the banana pudding. Charming place, friendly service and great food...just wish the greeting was a bit more welcoming, still a 5 star experience.
