Thank you Fancy Girl Farms! My sister was bragging about this place a month ago when we were…read moreplotting this little family roadtrip to visit my niece in Valdosta. 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!

To our surprise, the non-assuming quiche plate my partner got, and the burger bowl I got, were both delish!! The quiche was simple, but cooked to perfection. It comes with a bowl of side salad with a delicious maple balsamic dressing, a blueberry muffin, and a slice of tomato and lettuce on the plate. The quiche has a nice, homemade crust that's surprising light and just pure goodness. The burger bowl was a deconstructed burger without the bun. I got it with grilled chicken, and it was, of course, cooked to perfection. Juicy and flavorful, which is hard to achieve for most places. The salad was fresh, and the homemade Grumpy's sauce was delicious as well. The waitress was sweet. Service was on point. Price is good. Place is nicely decorated and clean. Both this place and the town of Madison has exceeded our expectations. We will for sure come back when we're around next year.

Cutest coffe shop and lunch spot in Blackshear (Pierce County)…read more I had a meeting scheduled here, and loved the welcoming energy when I walked in. I met here for about an house, then sent a few emails before heading to my next one. I ordered an iced latte, and it was delish! Several milk options and TONS of flavors. The chicken salad cup is so good! The chicken is more shredded than what I'm used to for a chicken salad, and I think that's not my preferred way to have it! The shop sits in a shopping center and is behind a Burger King, so the parking lot gets a little busy. This is a lovely place to stop by when in pierce.

Decor is very nice, the use of pallets to hang lights, colorful chalk menu highlighting the summer drinks, photos highlighting collaborations with local farms. BATHROOMS: very clean, multiple large single stall units FOOD: they had a good selection of food. I think how full you get depends on what you order. I ordered a half sandwich and half soup combo. It was a thicc bread with two pieces of ham and a tomato, 1 slice of guyere. The soup was in a tiny ramikin, with 1 tiny baggie of crackers. My husband ordered a breakfast combo that included a full sized waffle, scrambled eggs, and two chicken apple sausage patties. On the side, we each ordered "million dollar bacon" which was essentially 4 slices of sugared bacon with some sort of drizzle sauce. They were delicious, but not $6 dollar and some change worth for 4 pieces of bacon.. I was a little interested in their honey biscuits they were promoting but I didn't want to spend any more money. The morning meditation drink and kale tonic were delicious. THE BILL: we were told to scan the QR code to pay, but he had come here the previous day with his company after PT as a bonding thing, and found out the QR code doesn't work. For the two of us, the bill was almost $65 and I left hungry. VERDICT: I don't know if I'd come here again, but if I did, I'd definitely choose something else to eat to make sure I'm full.

My meal came out incorrectly, and no one checked on us once after the food was delivered. No "How is everything?" No water. No opportunity to let anyone know there was an issue with my order so it could be fixed. We basically ate our entire meal without seeing anyone. Ironically, the one thing that did show up promptly was the check. It felt less like like they were ready for us to leave. The food has potential, if they can get the basics right and/or just correct what was wrong. Hopefully this was just an off day, because the overall experience could have been so much better.
