This restaurant is in a 134 year old church building. Service was excellent and friendly; the pineapple casserole side dish is a must-try. Portions were fresh, hot, and generous. read more

Very friendly, quick service! My husband had the pork chop and enjoyed every bite. Everything was good except the Mac n cheese, which everyone raved about, so I guess it was just a bad day for it! The noodles were overcooked and it was just soggy and weird! The poppy seed chicken lacked flavor, but it was ok. I would go back and try other options! Everyone seemed pleased. read more

What an amazing restaurant. Setting is in an old church located near the square of Lagrange. We were greeted immediately and given a table. Our waitress Janet came by and took our drink order and gave us the menus. She was so sweet to our granddaughter and made her a little plate of food after taking our order. The food came out quickly and was so delicious. I never had to ask for a drink refill because of great service. My wife had the special which was the poppyseed chicken and I had the pork chop. Can't wait to go back again and bring some friends. read more

A Lagrange staple! They never miss! The tea is always sweet and the poppy seed chicken is always spot on and the hash brown casserole is the best! I have never had a bad meal or service here in 20 years!! read more

Hidden jewel in downtown Lagrange. The taste of lemon provides something other places can't. The food takes you back to some home cooked meals like grandma used to make. Friendly staff. Large eating area. Local favorite hot spot. Portions are plenty. Come early for lunch. read more

One of my favorite lunch spots great food and great staff!!! The ladies there go the extra mile to take care of you at lunch!!!

Always great Southern cooking. Been in business at least 35 years in the same location.

Taste of Lemon is my FAVORITE! From the time you walk in and you're greeted. ( the wait is usually not very long) The Staff are always smiling and happy and very attentive to our needs. The food is outstanding, it's the BEST Southern cooking! I love the "old church"atmosphere! read more

Always great food. This is down home cooking with sweet tea too. The staff is always friendly and most have been working st the lemon for many years. You will enjoy dining in this many years old historic church building. I like it ,like the food most of all the people. read more

Our go to place for a lovely southern, comfort food meal. What a gift to the community.

Loved the feel of eating in this revamped old church. A fun place to eat and great food

Stopped by here on the way from Callaway Garderns. Really fresh, delicious country style food in a unique small church atmosphere. They had a line to get in and we were still seated within 10 minutes and the food came quickly. The desserts were amazing. We will definitely be back. read more

WOW! Looks like I will write off Taste of Lemon in Lagrange , GA. I thought I would give them another chance since the last few times there I have encountered the same problem, and I thought it might just be a one off. Here is the problem. For lunch with tea it's $17! The serving size has been reduced quite a bit while the price has gone up and up. For a plate with a meat and 2 sides, $17 is too much. The food is good though but it's not worth $17. We might go a couple of times a year but definitely not as often as we used to go. read more

I was really excited to try this place. Being from the south we love southern cooking but this is just OK. The service was fine but I felt like the meals were overpriced for what you received . The portions were small and while everything tasted decent it wasn't anything to write home about. We had the chicken and dumplings and vegetables soup which were small portions and I don't even eat a lot. So overall just OK for southern home cooked food but we probably won't go back. I've been to many other home southern style cooking establishments that serve larger portions read more

I have wanted to eat here for a long time but they are only open for lunch. Today was my lucky day. The food and service are very southern. I tried all the vegetables and the peach cobbler. Food was delicious. It's mostly local people ordering and eating here which is comforting. They charged extra for cards so bring cash . read more

This was ok. It is a "meat and 3" lunch spot located in a former church. There is one large dining room where all the pews used to be. Service is prompt and friendly. The food is served on an undivided plate so if you don't want the juice from your greens and peas to run into the rice your chicken sits on you had better ask them to put the veggies in little bowls for you. I learned this after the fact while we were paying. read more

We had a wonderful meal at the Taste of Lemon and were well taken care of by our server. She even shared some of the history of the converted church building. Very good home cooking and included dessert. We arrived 1/2 hour before their closing so they were out of 2 of the meal selections but my chicken pot pie and hubby's bbq chicken were excellent. read more

It's very much like pulling up to your Grandma's dinner table after church meeting. Good food, good friends, good service. Handicapped entry is awkward, but doable. read more

Awesome place, Excellent food and terrific service, so glad you brought back the beef roast.

Very good southern cuisine. The restaurant is in an old church. Don't forget to count your blessings. read more

The atmosphere is special and the home-style food is delicious. We had the salad plate, chicken and vegetables, and the pork chop and vegetables. Of course, who could pass on the desserts when peach cobbler and peanut butter pie are on the menu? Both desserts were outstanding. read more

Taste of Lemon Restaurant - The salad plate- seven salads and a lot to eat! - Southern Near Me - Lagrange, Georgia

This was our first visit and it was wonderful. We drove up from Columbus and both of us had the catfish. The breading on the catfish was so light and both of us really enjoyed it. The vegetables were very well done. The server was fantastic and everybody was so friendly. It was certainly worth the trip and the atmosphere was delightful. read more

Found this spot as we were passing through the area. Great service only downfall is they cook food ahead, so when they're out, they're out. Frequented on a Friday, about an hour before closing, and unfortunately most of the entrees were gone. I opted for the salad plate which for the 6 offerings of varying salads were good. Recommend going early for more selection! read more

I liked they're lemon pepper chicken the best and I like they're lemon squares for desert. They're prices are also reasonable and customer service is fantastic. I enjoyed it very much. I will go back and plan to go and try they're lunch menu with my wife on our lunch break next week. read more

The food is fresh and well seasoned. Cabbage, greens, mac and cheese are my favorites. The mac and cheese is baked in the oven with real cheese, not the box stuff. Desserts are homemade and delicious. Meat loaf is really good too. Go early to avoid line. Very popular spot. read more

This restaurant is very cute and quaint. It's venue is an old church and was very open concept. The food was delicious and reasonably priced, but the wait was a little long but it was busy. Also, when we went they didn't take card and only took checks and cash as they're credit card machine was out of order. The only other thing was they sat my 60 year old mother and I on the top of the pulpit which I wish they would have sat us on floor level as I didn't want my mom to have to go up and down the stairs. My mom actually tripped going down the stairs on our way out which gave me a little scare. Not necessarily their fault, just moving forward we will request the ground floor. read more

Taste of Lemon Restaurant - Butter beans, green beans, chicken and rice casserole dish - Southern Near Me - Lagrange, Georgia

Always a pleasure to come here. Food is delicious, cooked to perfection and portioned well. You get a choice of one meat/entrée and 3 sides, and the entrée options cycle out and change daily to keep the options fresh. Okra and creamed corn are my favorite sides here, they're always done right. The sweet teas always perfect too. The service is good, not super speedy or anything but everything comes in a timely manner and the staff is very friendly :) My one suggestion would be to bring a coat, especially if there's only one or two of you going and you get put along the walls to eat, because in my experience they keep it VERY cool inside and the vents along the wall might blow up your back if you're in the back wall tables right on top of them. But this place is always worth the trip :) read more

Since moving to the city I haven't had much meat and three southern meals, and to be honest I miss it big time. I was in LaGrange visiting family and they took me here, and I'm sure glad they did! Taste of Lemon is inside of an old church. Seriously such a neat building! I love the ambiance here and highly recommend coming to see this spot. The server was great. When I asked his recommendation for the meat option he said "well it's all good to me, since my mama is the cook and has been for 20 years!" We all thought this was the appropriate answer. I chose the beef roast as my meat, the three sides were field peas, fried okra, and Mac n cheese. They came out fairly quickly. The roast was very good, nice and moist and served over a bed of rice. Fried okra was tasty but seemed a little old and a smaller portion than the rest of the items. The field peas were PERFECT, I loved them. Great seasoning. The mac n cheese was really really good. Super cheesy and the noodles weren't soggy (my least favorite). This meal was so good and very filling, but the portions weren't over the top huge. Nothing was hyper salty or buttery, everything was tastefully done. My granny is the best southern cook I know, and this meal is knocking on her door as competition for great southern meal. read more

Great service and food. The poppy seed chicken it to die for. Multiple side options and good prices

It was ok. Would not go back but great little place to go versus eating all of the time at Great Wolf Lodge. Clean, prompt service and hot food. We had a table of 8 with no wait on table or food really. $55 for 5 of us. read more

Went to LaGrange for work and asked around for a local recommendation and we were told to go here. Very cool concept as the restaurant is in an old church. It's only open for lunch and they were super busy! The menu is fairly simple and all Southern. You pick one out of six or so choices of protein and 3 sides or 2 with a dessert. Pretty fair price for $10. Very little decor, simple seating arrangements and nonchalant service. The food was okay. My chicken was super rubbery and it was actually my first time having that type of texture with chicken. I was really disappointed. I don't think I'd go back, but I did see a lot of people enjoy their meals. read more

We visited at lunch yesterday. This was the first time we had gone as we are not locals. The location was chosen based on reviews and based on menu etc. we felt this would be a covid-conscious dining establishment. We are uncertain if the owner was in or not, but the following was observed: Staff member who offers to refresh your beverace- wears mask dangling from one ear the entire time. While she did correct briefly when this was brought to her attention, it was noted she immediately went back to her prior habits after leaving our table. Staff who waited our table with food- always wore mask over nose and mouth- Great job. Staff visible in kitchen/prep area- gentleman never wore mask the entire time. read more

The vegetable plate includes TEN vegetables. Need I say more? And cornbread. The tea is good. The atmosphere is cute. My child inhaled the chicken pot pie and my dad scoffed the salmon croquettes. After virtuously ordering the veggie plate, I wanted to have dessert (either cobbler or buttermilk pie) but the rest of my table wasn't having it so I had to linger on my memories of the macaroni and cheese (old school, with cheddar). Listen to the waitstaff, they know what is good that day, but you really can't go wrong. read more

This interesting space has been reincarnated as a restaurant with a laid back meat-and-three vibe. The portions are HUGE and my meatloaf, collards, pineapple casserole and fried okra were a great representation of a down home southern meal. I would definitely eat here again when visiting or passing through LaGrange. read more

Good southern good and service! I had the salmon patties and Mac and cheese like mom made. My mother-in-law had the salad plate which was a real treat. read more

This is my favorite place to eat lunch. They have a fabulous salad plate I have eaten it once. The vegetable plate is amazing I get this every time I go. They offer different meats to go with the vegetables but I always just get the vegetable plate. It taste like it just came from the garden It is amazing, fresh cooked cornbread and a cold glass of sweet tea it just doesn't get any better than this. read more

Taste of Lemon in Lagrange has excellent Southern food in a simple, down home style. The hours are limited so check before making plans to visit. The service is excellent and you will not be disappointed. We were visiting the area and found this gem on Yelp. I tried the meatloaf with three vegetables. The cornbread was delicious as was the sweet tea. I will be back some day! read more

If you want great home southern cookin...this is the place to go. Its in an old church. Great atmosphere! The menu changes daily. The beef soup, mac and cheese and pineapple casserole are amazing! They have homemade lemonade that is to die for. I would highly recommend this place!! read more

The vegetable plate here is too die for! I think the field peas and rutabaga was my absolutely favorite. I'm a Georgia boy, and we Georgia's absolutely love our southern vegetable plates, and Taste of Lemon does it quite well. I think their Macaroni and Cheese could use a little more seasoning or perhaps even a sharper cheddar to give it that bite, as I think the chef uses mild cheddar cheese. The yams are also a good additional to any meal. The venue is a quite, old church building and the owner is a 90 year-old owner of an antique store right next door. It's a good place for lunch and is in walking distance to many spots in downtown LaGrange. If you are a northerner visiting LaGrange, it's a good stop for a traditional, Southern lunch. The waiters and staff are all just as a sweet as the sweet tea there. I really like it. read more
