    The Blue Plate
    Terry K.

    This place is tucked in the back corner of the strip mall. So there's plenty of parking available. So I'm actually writing this as I sit here...dining in. Pandemic protocols are in place and the staff are adhering. I'm dining at the counter. I'm eating an early dinner so things are wide open as far as seating. At this early hour, it's"seat yourself." I love a good chicken fried steak and it's on the menu...your choice of a white gravy or brown. I chose the brown and it was fine. The CFS was a little chewy but tasted OK otherwise. For my two side I got mashed potatoes with more gravy and the dessert of the day. Today it was apple cobbler. Now the portion size of all three were a little on the small side, but not too small. The apple cobbler was good. At the counter, there are some TV monitors. But they're small. Oh, and yes. My food did in fact come on a blue plate! What's interesting is they also have a drive up window...but you have to call in your order ahead of time. So everything was pretty average in my opinion. Nothing to really complain about nor anything to rave about either. Since prices are reasonable, I have no objections to eating here again.

    Liver and onions, mashed potatoes and gravy, steamed gabbage.

    Was trying out new restaurants while visiting family. Read reviews on Blue Plate which were good so we thought we would try it. I tried the liver and onions and personally wouldn't recommend. The meat seemed like processed meat. Someone ordered the 1/2 and 1/2 liver and gizzards. Theres hope for this dish if you go early in the afternoon when they're probably fresh. My son ordered fried chicken and was totally satisfied. Mac and cheese was flavorless and mushy, the gabbage was bland, beans weee bland. Bland can be help with salt and pepper. The bigger issue I had was that our waitress said we had a smell that reminded her of a friend that has a horse farm!! We continued to joke about it amongst ourselves but I really wish I had had a side conversation with her. I would try the Blur Plate again, just wouldn't order the liver and onions.

    Super thin sliced beef liver with goopy brown gravy.

    Got in no waiting on a Sunday. I ordered the smoked chicken breast with Alabama white sauce, and the wife ordered grilled gulf shrimp. We also ordered fried pickles as an app. We received the pickles within 5 minutes. The pickles tasted good, and there were a lot of them. The issue I have is 45 seconds after we got our appetizer, here comes our entrées. I mean, really?? Do better. The shrimp were good. The smoked chicken was a terrible idea and executed poorly. It's a butterflied boneless breast, which is super easy to dry out, and this was dry as a bone. You would be better served by using a leg quarter. I sent the chicken back and got the liver instead. The liver is by far the thinnest liver you will ever see. This was cut on a slicer, and it was maybe 1/8" thin. The gravy was the goopy brown gravy that came out of a can or a pouch. It was not inspiring. We weren't really thrilled with this place.

    Meatloaf, mashed potatoes with gravy, purple-hulled peas and biscuits/cornbread! Yumm!

    Great Southern comfort food.....lets start with nice friendly servers! Next good Southern Sweet Tea and a basket of fresh biscuits and little fried squares of cornbread! How can you improve on cornbread? Fry it!! I had he best meatloaf I have had in a long time (I am a big fan of meatloaf, it's my go-to food) and this place has it done right! A side of home-made mashed potatoes (still kind of lumpy!!) with brown gravy and a bowl of purple-hulled peas ( I think they are some kind of bean, but who am I to question that?) and the meal was finished! We had more of the cornbread/ biscuits with honey as our dessert, they were just that good! Great find! We would eat here again when in town!

    Lunch was sooo good. We were a little past lunch crowd and the food was very good. If you like country cooking this is your place.

    The salads are always fresh and delicious. Ranch is homemade I believe, and it's really good as well.
