Meatloaf
Ford M.

Rating: 4.5 Everything you want in a locally owned country-style restaurant: great food, large portions, friendly staff. Second time here and it did not disappoint. Brought a friend and she loved it. Had hamburger steak both times (very good). Catfish (excellent--large portion--don't get two pieces unless you're really hungry). Meatloaf (very good). Slaw was some of the best out 90 year old guest has ever had. Green beans and squash with onions was memorable. Collards were a little on the vinegar side four our tastes but feel like most will enjoy. Cornbread is solid. Mashed potatoes met expectations. Country friend steak to go was "real country cooking and among the best" our guest has had. Southern Fried Chicken sandwich to go was very good according to our other guest. Pros: large dining room, great food, big portions, friendly staff, locally owned, menu variety, daily specials updated on Facebook page, quick service for dine in. Cons: off the beaten path, parking lot not paved, handicapped access but ramp/stairs are steep (be careful on both), ambiance (plastic tables), slower service (take out). No real butter for cornbread or potatoes (liquid goop--barely passable). In short, this is a short drive from Valley, Auburn, and Opelika and it's 100% worth it. Daily specials are priced right and the chicken tenders look like they are 1/2 to a whole breast each. Highly recommended.

In Auburn Alabama you have to break from the college circle to find a Southern Soul food spot…read more Southern & Savory is a local hit. I went on a Sunday just before the church let out. The line was long and moving. The service is of southern kitchen, expect someone screaming "next" at the cash register. The menu is at the front by the register, in chalk, so it gets updates throughout the day. While ordering you are informed which items are sold out. Seating is sparse and 1st Come 1st Serve. I ordered the chicken plate. The chicken was crispy, seasoned and juicy - Perfectly fried. All of the sides were good except the cornbread. Just skip tasting the cornbread it will ruin the meal. Overall, it's Southern Soul food; however seating and dynamic menu presents the most challenge in making it an enjoyable experience.

As usual we oldies are leaving a doctor's appointment. So after being in that Cold office, the…read morehubby decided on something hot. We lucked up on this spot.. ordered fried chicken, collard greens, lima beans, rice gravy, Mac and cheese.. The ambiance was quiet, which made it so easy for conversation. I will say the place was very homely, but a few things could be corrected. I noticed a few items out of place, like the cleaning supplies not in the safe zone. The restroom was pleasant, I never comment on that, but will start. But all in all things were enjoyable

As good as Soul Food can be. We use to stop here about 6 times a year when traveling through now it…read moreis about once a year...and oh, how we miss it. We ordered two Meat & 2's and both consisted of A Big Fat Fried Chicken Breast, Black-Eyed Peas and Mac n Cheese. As always the chicken was cooked perfectly. Crispy on the outside with that perfect fried chicken skin and totally moist meat. The mac n cheese was very moist, not really runny and the texture was the perfect chew. No mushiness and no hard noodles. The black-eyed peas were out of this world good. They had a bit of spice in them and cooked good ole' Southern Style...cooked! We ate and ate until there was not more room. We gladly took our left overs for another wonderful meal. As we were leaving I said, oh, no "I forgot to take pictures. So I went and broke in line and took a couple of the cafeteria style food that everyone was so patiently waiting to be served. The staff works extremely hard. The restaurant is very clean. And the food is absolutely delicious. They do take togo orders and sometimes the line is out the door. They are closed on Saturdays. Highly recommend one try if in the area. Prices have remained relatively low while other places have increased their prices drastically. Our two meals which included drinks and tax was about $21. You can still buy a whole fried wing for under $2...it is $1.95.

I have to give this wonderful restaurant an upgrade! I must have had some bad luck the first time…read more On my second visit, I realized what locals were trying to tell me, that this old-school southern eatery is fabulous!! This is classic, southern food at its best! The catfish tonight was on point! The mac and cheese is absolute gooey, cheesy perfection! The purple hull peas are so scrumptious! I'm a new fan of Pannie-George's!
