    2 eggs, city ham, bacon, sausage, home fries on an open biscuit, all covered in gravy.
    Richard R.

    In today's world of over-the-top food choices (especially for breakfast and brunch), Pot Luck Cafe feels like a throwback to Mel's Diner from the 70's show Alice! [ THE FOOD ] This is not a place that will impress you with creative menu items, or Instagram-worthy presentations, or even a modern decor. It's true old school with no frills or thrills, and that's just the way their customer base likes it! They have absolutely no trouble filling seats and have been doing so since 1949. It really is a pretty standard small town southern menu with probably the most exciting item of the breakfast choices being THE DAWG PILE. Monroe is University of Georgia Bulldog (or Dawg) country, thus the name. The pile lumps all your favorites onto one plate: 2 scrambled eggs, ham, bacon, sausage, and cubed potatoes loaded on top of an open face biscuit, then smothers them in sawmill gravy. It's not a dish that's gonna cause people to flock from all over the state, but it is a very decent breakfast at a decent price. The pancakes are also no frills, but they are plate sized and delicious in the traditional sense. We also ordered a blueberry muffin for $1.50. It came to the table piping hot. While we really enjoyed it, I would have loved if it included a sugary glaze like you find on Bojangles Bo-Berry Biscuits. [ THE SERVICE ] Where Pot Luck Cafe will absolutely impress you is with their down home hospitality. I'm telling you, if you don't leave this place feeling like you are part of the family, then you are just a grumpy human being that probably shouldn't be allowed around live people! You will have a main server, but the entire staff is probably going to visit your table at one point or another during your meal. They are going to make sure you have everything you need and correct any problem. The owner's wife greeted us outside to let us know wait times. She also asked our table preference based on a few tables that would be leaving soon while briefly taking time to get to know us. We watched the cleaning staff flat out attacked each dirty table the moment its previous inhabitants walked out the door. After cleaning and refilling all condiments, they then walk another set of diners to the table. One person might take your drink order, while another takes your meal order, and yet another brings your meal to the table. Meanwhile, nearly every time ANY of them pass by they will ask if you have everything you need. Miss Jackie was our main server and she has been there over 34 years. She has also won BEST SERVER in the county multiple times during her tenure. You're gonna love her... and all the staff for that matter. [ THE VERDICT ] Listen, even if you don't love your meal for whatever reason, you WILL love the southern charm this place exudes!!! This is what REAL service looks like firsthand. The food is probably not going to blow you away, but the staff will. I wouldn't be surprised if they are calling you by name from memory within three visits! Good food, great prices and amazing service! I'm convinced the name Pot Luck comes from the fact everyone on staff contributes to your meal. ENJOY!

    Hello from the Walton Community Church Men's Breakfast Group!

    A bunch of us old retired guys from Walton Community Church meet here every Wednesday morning and we love it. Our server, Rhonda, is the best! We are never disappointed with the food and the place is full of good, friendly folks. If you don't have anyone to eat breakfast with, see you at 7:30 Wednesday, we'll be looking for you!

    Dry meat, sub par "soup"
    Paige V.

    Maybe my first visit today was just an off day? I got the special of the day for my kid who loves veggies. Corn, speckled peas, and collards with meatloaf. The peas were awful, corn very bland, and collards tough. Meatloaf was burnt. I had the pot luck soup which was like a vegetable stew. I will say it came out super hot, and wasn't awful. Definitely wouldn't order it again, though. Cornbread wasn't sweet, so that was a plus. We left still hungry. Food was awful today. If I go back, it'll be a long time. Our waitress also never checked on us after we ordered.

    TLC is super cute! ChatGPT came all the way through when I asked for recommendations in the Conyers…read morearea. I don't live far, but I've had a hard time finding spots to post up for a bit outside of Privi at Stonecrest. From my first visit, I felt so welcomed. The staff was friendly and the menu had plenty of options. I've been a couple of times now, and I have to admit--I haven't quite nailed my coffee order yet. That's completely on me though. The first time, I tried "Falling in Love with Biscoff." It looked amazing, and so did the pastries, so I added a slice of banana bread. That was the mistake--because it was so good that everything after just couldn't compete. The drink was way too sweet for me, especially after that banana bread. On my next visit, I decided to keep it simple with a matcha, but someone suggested adding blueberry syrup. Knowing I don't usually do flavors in my matcha, I went for it anyway. Again... on me! Even with my off-ordering luck, I love the vibe here. Tammy was in when I arrived, and she is such a light--it was a pleasure meeting her. I'll definitely be back. TLC is the perfect go-to when I don't feel like driving too far into the city.

    Came here for a last minute Birthday/Christmas tea for my daughter! I was so glad to find this gem…read morein Hoschton! This tea room has a nice vintage feel, but also like you're at your girlfriend's house just chatting and having tea. The smal interior makes it really feel intimate. The teas were hot and delicious. My daughter especially loved the Ginger Peach. The highlight for us was the Chicken and wild rice soup! Absolutely delicious! We took a bowl home! The mixture and quality of sandwiches and sweets was really good, and everything we ate was delicious! No leftovers! The young lady that attended our table was super friendly and very kind to my daughter. I loved that both she, and the owner, acknowledged her and brought us over extra strawberries and chocolate! This was such a great experience, and we'll be back at this one for sure! Close to our house, prices were more than reasonable, and the quality was 10/10.

I enjoy their hot teas and the full tier of finger foods. They are very small and reservations are ideal!they can hold parties of 2-8. Shabby chic is the vibe here. Dress up a little, Sunday best and they even have hats to borrow.

    Some of my adoptive family (hubby and wife) and I came here for lunch and, a bit of shopping…read more For lunch, I had, Country Fried Steak, with Gravy, Mashed Potatoes & Gravy, Black eyed Peas and Cornbread. While it was good, nothing was truly hot. Both the CFS and MPs were warm, with the gravy being barely as warm. Though, the BePs, were warmest. However, I found, the CFS to be on the dry side. While the Cornbread was firm, it was good. Unfortunately, they charged me for 3 sides, instead of just 2. So, because of this, I didn't give a voluntary tip. Fortunately, Chris had gotten some Kenyan Hot Sauce, which I tried on the CFS. And, it really helped with the taste. Sadly, they only 1, 10 oz bottle, which I let them have. And, I bought a 5 oz bottle. The HS has a unique texture, but isn't "hot" in the traditional sense.

    Good solid food, a little pricey. We haven't tried the buffet but it always seems to have customers…read morepicking out their meats and veggies. The Mahi Mahi is one of the best fish sandwiches in the lake area. Hand cut fries are always a nice treat. This time I tried the pecan crusted chicken salad dressing on side. Chicken was heavily crusted and good for deep fried chicken. They need to be so much MORE generous with the apple and other toppings at that price point. Tables are clean, you do your own pick up. No options to tip. Hours are limited and I do wish they were open on Sunday but, welcome to the South. A market is attached, items vary and have many local choices. Meat prices are high, like real high. Overall, a fun place to stop.
