Half of my veggie plate (which I'd started eating in the car). 2 meats, 3 veggies & 2 cornbread muffins for under $8!
Kenge G.

This is what I call southern comfort food. It's not my Grandma's soul food, which would require some ham hocks or smoked turkey, extra melanin and heavy seasoning but it does the job! Village Cafeteria offer 5-6 daily "meats", ranging from stuffed bell peppers, Swedish meatballs & chicken livers, to meatloaf, chicken & dumplings and country fried steak. Plus soup, over a dozen veggies and homemade desserts! I first discovered Village Cafeteria when I was hiking in Fort Mountain State Park. I couldn't believe how much food you got for such a cheap price! I dined in and it was clean and comfortable. That was back when I could eat delicious fried chicken, scrumptious fried okra, sugary sweet potato soufflé and get away with it. The black eyed peas were delish too! This time, I tried to be more reasonable and reach for the lemon baked chicken but alas, it wasn't meant to be. The lady behind the counter recommended the chicken casserole. It was shredded with sour cream and jazzed up with a crumbled Ritz cracker topping. Exactly what I didn't need! The sample she gave me was melt in your mouth good, and I was in. I started eating it in the car! Best of all, my meat, 3 veggies and 2 cornbread muffins were only $7.94! The carrots & cabbage were definitely boiled (not steamed) and the green beans could have used more seasoning. But the huge portions, free parking and friendly service (except for the cashier, who looked annoyed and charged me 15 cents for water) made up for it. I deducted one star because none of the staff actually wore their masks. They all had them pulled down below their chins so they could talk freely, sigh... All in all, l will return to Village Cafeteria if I'm in the vicinity and I would definitely recommend!

On my way with family to a reunion in Knoxville and stopped here for lunch. The staff was so friendly and the food was amazing. I'm gluten free so I had a baked potato and veggies and my family tried all sorts of food and homemade desserts. Everyone truly enjoyed it!

Fried chicken is guuud

Edna's Restaurant - Fried chicken with 2 sides

This place has a few things going for it that makes me want to return…read more Fried chicken daily and it's so good! The crust was so good and there are other meat and 3 places around that only do chicken once a week. It's nice to know they have items you can get any day The pintos and green beans were ok but the mash potatoes were instant. That was a turn off So the desserts we ordered a apple caramel pie that was ok but took home the peanut butter pie and it was the best peanut butter pie I've ever eaten. It was so well made and had a huge meringue on it. I can still taste that pie and swear I've dreamed about since I will have be having that again

My wife and I had noticed Edna's several times during drives through north Georgia but they were…read morealways closed. Drove by Saturday, saw they were open, and decided to give it a try. I got chicken (by far the best thing about this meal; it was actually pretty good), pinto beans and collared greens. The sides were served in these tiny cups that probably contained about a half of what one would usually consider a decent portion. The beans were okay (I hit a few that were undercooked to the point of being crunchy. But good grief, the collard greens tasted like someone had squirted bug spray in them. Utterly inedible. My wife tried one bite and instantly regretted it. I put the tiny bowl full of greens on the edge of the table, hoping our server would notice they were untouched and would offer a substitute. Nope. Didn't see him again until the end of the meal, and he had no curiosity about why they were uneaten. My wife got meat loaf, mashed potatoes and green beans. Her observations: green beans out of a can, mashed potatoes meh, meat loaf "edible." She asked the server when he brought our plates if she could have some butter and he pointed to a rack of little containers and said, "There." She didn't have on her glasses and didn't realize those little packets did NOT contain butter but instead some hideous fake butter spread that was old and awful. Turned the okay potatoes inedible. Once again, the server ignored that they were untouched. Service leaves a lot to be desired. The employees seem nice and earnest but don't seem to grasp what service should entail. If they see that a customer hasn't touched some of their meal, they should make some attempt to make it right. At this point I'm sure you, dear reader, have reached the correct conclusion that we will never be back to, nor can we recommend, Edna's.

We were camping at Harrison Bay State Park and found this Cafe on Yelp. After eating there I think…read morethe stars (as of this writing 4) are perfect. The service was outstanding - attentive and really cooperative. My catfish was excellent, corn meal breading, not too thick and done perfectly. My wife's Country Fried Steak was OK, probably a pre-breaded frozen steak from the food supplier. The sides, although numerous, were a real mixed bag of quality. We ordered Collards, were served (we think) turnip greens that were obviously out of a can. The corn was just kernel corn out of a freezer bag or can. The black eyed peas were good. The pan fried okra was hard and overcooked and wilted like it had been cooked hours ago and kept under a warmer. I'm sure it was pre-breaded and frozen. One person in our party had cooked cabbage and 1/2 the bowl was taken up by the intact stem. To their credit, they replaced her bowl. The breads were excellent. The deserts were excellent were obviously homemade and provided a wide choice. I would eat here again because of the service, variety and reasonable price. But they would be well served to cut the number of dishes and focus on doing them well vs. just serving what their food service can provide pre-prepared. They do this with their deserts.
