Biscuits and gravy with eggs and sausage.  This was taken after I had already eaten about half of it!!!
Daniel T.

This place is a hidden gem. Great food and service. I wasn't surprised to see the bad reviews coming from non local/out of state people though. They are the people who think chicken McNuggets are good food haha!! Seriously though....this kind of place is a relaxed atmosphere . You come in, and sit at an empty table of your choice; you don't have to be ushered to a table. Don't let the outside of the building fool you...the inside is rather large. The biscuits and gravy are phenomenal and old timey cooking. Not that fake stuff like the Cracker Barrel has.

Cheese fries

If your not a usually expect to wait. Everyone else got served before we did. All we ordered was a burger and cheese fries. I don't bother with cheese fries. I don't know where the cheese comes from but it's not natural. It won't even melt.

An after-church Sunday afternoon favorite, you'll find down home southern cooking here, complete with garden grown vegetables, home made meatloaf and fresh pies. The daily specials list reads like a list of things mom and grandmom made and it all tastes wonderful. They point out that with the exception of their sugar-free pies and cakes, almost everything is locally grown and home made. Add to that the abundant interesting memorabilia and you have a great place to eat Sunday or any other day of the week. Even their bathrooms are interesting! The men's room has a "throne" feel, complete with a suit of armor. Last I heard there was gospel music singing Monday nights and breakfast available all day Wednesday. If you're looking for good food at a place where locals like to eat (instead of a touristy kind of restaurant), check out the Tellico Junction Cafe. Chances are pretty good you'll be there when a train goes by. Based in the heart of historic Englewood, Tennessee within sight of highway 411 between Madisonville and Etowah, it's a nice place to take a walk down main street after supper.

Enjoyed a delicious home cooked meal on our way to Athens at this charming place. The service and the food were great! The prices unbeatable! My husband and I had a hearty lunch, drinks and dessert for $21 total!! If you're ever around Englewood, TN definitely try Tellico Juntion Cafe

Great basic diner menu. Food is terrific and fresh.  A regular hangout for locals and anyone looking for a good, low priced meal.

We started our breakfast with a hot Wildflower Mocha and a Mocha Latte. The Mocha Latte was…read moreoutstanding....rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. I wanted to try their pancakes but didn't want a full stack, and our server Robin was wonderful in recommending the Sweet Start. One thing we really appreciated is that all breakfast entrees include coffee or tea, and the prices are already very reasonable. We were also pleasantly surprised to learn that even though we ordered specialty coffees, we could still enjoy complimentary refills of regular coffee. The restaurant has a charming and unique atmosphere, with every table looking a little different from the next. For my meal, I ordered the Sweet Start, which included one pancake, eggs, and bacon. I also appreciated the transparency from the staff. When I asked for an extra serving of their homemade pecan butter, I was informed upfront that there would be an additional charge....a level of honesty that's surprisingly rare these days. My husband ordered the Banana Nut French Toast comes with homemade whipped cream and homemade pecan butter, which also came with bacon. He added a side of eggs as well. Everything was delicious. I'm especially particular about pancakes, and I can honestly say they serve some of the best pancakes I've had. The food was excellent, the service was friendly and attentive, and what stood out most was how genuinely happy all the staff seemed to be. It created a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made our visit even more enjoyable. We would definitely return the next time we're in the area.

Staff are super friendly. This place is always packed, but the wait has never been terribly long…read more Not many lunch options for a vegetarian. Their choice and their right. We perused what items we could eat - yikes if only they offered black bean patties as a substitute. We then checked their health department ratings (available on their Yelp page) and decided not to eat there. We hope their health department issues get resolved, and that their ratings climb up significantly!

My parents owned southern food restaurants for over 30 years in GA. I have been a chef for 28yrs…read more I cook a lot of southern food as well. I will say that hands down, Southern Charm is one of the best Southern Food Eateries I've ever been to. 6 of us ordered the fried chicken, country fried steak, shrimp and grits, rainbow trout, meatloaf, with all the fixings!!! Potato casserole, cream corn, green beans, fried okra, sweet potato fries, Cole slaw, baked beans, brown and peppered sausage gravy. Not a single moment did I feel like it was ever too heavy or salty. The biscuits were light and fluffy, and our server Angelina was great! I wish I had pictures of the food, but our empty plates should speak for itself. We even had dessert but the tab was only $165.00 Facility was very clean and love the homey look/feel. 09/10

Stopped by Cottage House Restaurant in Cleveland and this place is exactly what you want if you're…read morelooking for a solid, no-frills Southern breakfast. First off, the setup is super easy. You walk in, grab a tray, and you've got options. You can go through the hot bar and get served right there, pay, and be on your way... or order off the menu, sit down, and they'll bring the food to you. Very simple and efficient. The inside is spacious with plenty of seating, and there's also outdoor seating if you want it. Parking is easy too, which is a big plus, especially compared to the chaos you'll run into closer to Helen. Food wise, I always judge breakfast spots by the chicken, egg, and cheese biscuit... and this one held up. The chicken was tender, the biscuit was soft and fresh, and overall it was a solid start. The surprise for me was the hashbrown casserole. It came out good, but once I added a little salt, the flavor really popped. Definitely worth getting. The pancakes were also done right... nice crispy edges with a soft, fluffy inside. That's exactly how pancakes should be. Menu wise, they've got everything you'd expect from a Southern breakfast spot... biscuits and gravy, eggs, bacon, sausage, country ham, pancakes, omelets, and even lunch style items like burgers and plate meals if you come later. They also have a Coca-Cola fountain, which is always a win. Service was friendly, especially for early morning, and the whole place just has that comfortable, old-school home cooking feel. There is also a drive thru if you don't feel like leaving your car. Overall, this is a great spot if you want a good breakfast without the crowds. Simple, tasty, and easy.
