Best kept secret down this stretch of the South might just be Peggy's fried chicken…read more Now, a great many places have the confidence to fry a bird. That is not the same as knowing what they're doing. Plenty can make chicken hot. Fewer can make it memorable. Peggy's managed the rarer thing. This was the kind of fried chicken that makes a man quiet for a minute and reconsider whether he has properly valued his past blessings. They had other meats on the menu, and I do not doubt they were prepared by decent people with honest intentions, but ordering anything besides the fried chicken would have felt like showing up at a revival and asking for directions to a yoga class. And the sides, Lord help me, the sides were no afterthought. If I had not attended the funerals myself, I might have suspected my great grandma, grandma, and momma were back there in the kitchen, keeping an eye on the pots. Forgive me, Mammaw G, Mammaw, and Mom, but Peggy's had the better day with that chicken. I say that with love, respect, and a willingness to dodge a lightning bolt if one has been set aside for me. Fried okra, green beans, sweet potatoes, and mac and cheese, which any Southerner with good sense knows is a vegetable when it needs to be, spread across our plates like a family reunion of the righteous. The only medical advisory I'd offer is this: if your doctor has warned you against coating your insides with salt, you may want to admire from a respectful distance. And the sweet tea was right. Not tea-flavored water with ambition. Sweet tea. Properly made. The sort that lets you know nobody in the building is interested in modern nonsense. Next time I'm rolling down I-20, I may well make the turn toward Wrens again just to see whether Peggy's can do it twice. But judging by the regulars, the handshakes, the easy way the staff knew folks by name, and the fact they made us feel halfway local ourselves, I'd say this was no one-off. This felt less like a lucky meal and more like the kind of place that still believes doing something well is reason enough to keep doing it.

Just passing through town,coming from to Lawrenceville Ga. by way of New York, I stopped a local…read moreand he referred Peggy's. My grandson and I were hungry so we scurried over to get a place to go because they close at 8:30. We were kindly greeted and informed that the cooks have left the building but they had buffet style. The server came out and prepared our to go plates with care. We ordered sweet ice teas, had great conversation and I'm out merry way. I had Chuck beef over rice, candied yams, lima beens and a biscuit. OMG the food was as it should be, comfort food. Every bite was delicious and that biscuit melted in my mouth. The ice tea was perfectly crafted. My grandson had fried chicken in Mac n Cheese. He didn't expound in its taste but he gobbled it up with no complaints. I would say that he enjoyed it. I know the locals enjoy this restaurant because it seems like Peggy's is a staple in the community. It's too bad that I won't be back here but I am glad that I supported this restaurant rather than going to a fast food that's close by. Thank you to the staff for making us feel welcomed and by serving us with care. I choose chuck beef over rice, yams, lima beens, and a biscuit. I felt nostalgic eating this food reminiscing from days of past, living in the south and eating soul food

I called to make a complaint about the dish and was met with the utmost respect and was offered to get a new order made on the spot. I didn't want to leave my home to get the second order so the manager stated when I did find myself back at the establishment they would provide me with a new order on the house. I didn't intend on returning due to the quality of the ingredients but when I did I mentioned the accommodation that was offered to me to the new manager Damian and he was extremely kind in upholding the accommodation to me. Our server Alfonso was also a huge delight to our experience at metro diner he was extremely respectful and overall just a great server. I ordered the metro pancakes with bacon and cheesy hash browns food was amazing service was even better!

The restaurant is very homey and like an old southern restaurant. I mean that in a very endearing way. The people were very friendly as well. We got there before noon and there weren't many people there, as expected. But once noon hit the whole town came in! Clearly the place to be here lol. The food was fantastic. It's cafeteria style so you just walk down the row and tell them what you want on your plate. I had the fried chicken, mashed potatoes, cream corn, corn bread and red velvet cake. Everything was very good. Price was very affordable as well. Overall great place to eat if you find yourself in this quaint town.
