I don't usually go for Southern food, but I'm glad I stopped by to The Swanson. Interior wise, it's…read morelike a house turned restaurant business. The foundation is still there with the rooms and decor but with lots of tables set up, similar to hosting a gathering at home. Not only that, everyone here was really friendly! We really felt welcomed, and though the second time, service wasn't as outstanding, it was still good. I think they really nailed down the vibe of southern hospitality. For drinks, they have seasonal cocktails, which I think is fun, but I'm not around at a time where I would be able to chill and drink. I end up with a go-to sweet tea. Strong and sweet, that it kept me up, but not the strongest nor sweetest I've had. There's also complimentary bread that's mini muffin shaped and dense like a biscuit. It's buttery and salty, but I like it! Before coming, I saw so many things about the sampler, so I definitely wanted to get it and try out. Love the fried green tomatoes with the honey mustard. It didn't feel oily, and it held up pretty well when cut and dipped into sauce. The pimento cheese here is probably the best I've ever had, but I will admit that I have not had many (I tend to not like it). In fact, both these items stay on my mind enough that I do think about coming here more often than I thought I would. And this is just for the apps. The rest of the entrees are pretty standard. Some better than others, but that's due to preference. I haven't gone through the whole menu, but I do prefer their chicken to some of the other menu items. For their sides, I haven't seen or heard of some of them. I asked about them, and they were described p well, enough for me to not want to try congealed salad. I'm not a big fan of jello type things, but I did try the pear salad. Not for me. Absolutely not for me. I did really enjoy the collard green soup and sweet potato souffle though! They were great, esp the souffle. It was my first time having nuts in them, and I loved it so much. Everything else was alright, like I'm sure you've had or can make better mac. Overall, I'm glad to know this place because it's a good rec for the area if you're in the mood for Southern food. It's not a bad pick for vegetarians either, though they would only have appetizers and sides to pick from, but I liked them more than the entrees. There's a parking lot, and it's in a good location to see the rest of downtown Perry too.

Hands down the best food ever!…read more Tongue Therapy is absolutely AMAZING!!! The owners are pleasant and very friendly ..... But the real star here is the food -- hands down the best I've had since I've been in GA. Every dish is incredible -- from the tender, fall-off-the-bone oxtails, the flavorful curry chicken, and the shrimp and rice covered in the most delicious sauce, to the absolute best mac & cheese you'll ever taste. You can tell every bite is made with love and seasoned to perfection. If you're looking for comfort food that hits every note, this is the spot. Once you try Tongue Therapy, you'll be hooked -- guaranteed! Salena C.

From the moment we walked in, it felt like visiting your favorite aunt's house on a Sunday after church. The food was hot and fresh, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Everything was well-seasoned, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. The dressing was a tad dry but still flavorful. The collard greens may have been cooked with pork, which I don't eat, so I didn't have them--but I did taste them. They were finely cut, well-seasoned, and definitely not from a can. As I was leaving, I was asked about my experience, and I later realized I was speaking with Ms. Gladys herself. She was sitting in the lobby, observing and ensuring that everyone had a great dining experience. I highly recommend this place for both the food and the hospitality. This feels like "down home"

I asked this question on the phone before picking up the order. The owner became irate when I asked this question. The question was asked very calmly and nicely.

You need reservations to dine here. There was complimentary bread and peach jam. They have a rotating selection of daily specials, cheeses, and change their menu frequently.

Our waiter was very accommodating and did a good job with recommendations and explaining the intricacies of each item.

I assume they open from 6-10 for breakfast then close and open back for lunch at 11-1:30. Its a very simple interior: wooden floors, walls, e big rooms with just tables, chairs with simple tablecloths, some napkin holders salt and pepper, some pepper sauce. You walk in get in line and they ask what you want. This Tuesday they had: Fried chicken, Salisbury steaks in gravy, pot roast, shepherds pie. Veggies were French fries, rice, mashed potatoes, turnip greens, rice, creamed corn, green beans, black eyed peas, fried okra and then your choice of biscuit or a cornbread pancake (Ho cake). Plus they had peach cobbler. 2 of us got the Salisbury steaks one got the fried chicken and one got the pot roast. We all got the cornbread pancake and 3 of us got the peach cobbler and all got drinks. It was $60 for the 4'of us. Which I think was a pretty good deal. I spoke to the lady and she stated her they always have the fried chicken but the meats and veggies will change daily. They will sometimes have chicken and dumplings, rutabaga, on Fridays they'll have fried fish. I will definitely come back. By 11:40 when we were gonna leave the place was pretty packed. You can get your food to go or sit down. This has to be a pretty popular local place. There was an order for 15 when they opened. I will definitely visit again when we are in the area!

They could really be something special instead of mediocre like most of the other restaurants in Americus. Will not return voluntarily!
